The DRM. They have the most obnoxious DRM out there. Sure, it's becoming more and more the standard (unfortunately), but they were the ones who truly started pushing it through and to this day they have the most annoying incarnation of it. As a result, I refuse to give a single cent to those douchebags for their crappy products that treat me like crap.Zhukov said:What did they do to annoy you?Jandau said:Nope. I'm avoiding Ubisoft games on general principle...
(Not picking, just curious.)

Example - The put out Heroes of Might and Magic 6 recently. The game's single player requires you to be online or it locks out chunks of content. There is no extra functionality or anything, if you're not online, you don't get parts of the game. To that I say "Screw you!".
You might say it's not a big deal, and by itself it might not be, but it's the principle of the thing. I refuse to support business practices that actively screw me in the arse for no reason that I care about.
And no, I don't think it's silly. I refused to buy the last two Assassin's Creeds until after they removed the DRM.
Exactly what I was thinking, Damn beaten to it!!Sarpedon said:I'm sorry but on November 15th I will still have yet to emerge from my cave, because Skyrim came out 4 days earlier.
Saint's Row 2 was everything GTA4 was, but then they added a game, and lots of fun stuff tooJandau said:Nope. I'm avoiding Ubisoft games on general principle, so Assassin's Creed is off the table for me, I don't see why people are so stoked about Saint's Row (but I thought GTA games were boring as watching paint dry) and Bejeweled 3 has been out for, what, a year now already so I don't know why you listed it. The rest are console releases so they might as well not exist for all the good they do me.
