bootlicking faggot.
Content packs are all that matter and are more than enough. One per year is more than sufficient.
Devs shouldn't hang onto games for too long. A sequel every 2-4 years is much more preferable. PDX is the best example for that. All their games are huge messes and full of obsolete functions, powercreep and filler content, with each DLC bringing the game farther away from the original vision

>>1980472
>bootlicking
christ. its okay they made content for the game. and if you don't want to pay then just pirate.

>>1979788
The only ones that matter are the ones in the Season Passes (Botanica, Sunken Treasure, The Passage, Bright Harvest, Seat of Power, Land of Lions, Docklands, Tourist Season, The High Life, Seeds of Change, Empire of the Skies, and New World Rising), the rest are purely cosmetic.

Also, there was the whole online content with some weird stuff carrying over from game to game, which did not work on cracked verison.

Don't worry about it. The persistent, always online stuff was just carrying resources between maps on your Arc, map-wide upgrades (like lowering range on your wind turbines) from Arc-installed modules, and extra powerful tech that you can research.

Many older games have an amazing core that was either not fully explored at the time or just needs a little QoL.

If you want constant new games to avoid stagnation then there are 10 million other games out there you can play

Tough luck buddy, but you already shipped that thing. I am fine with free upgrades and bugfixes. But if you want to charge something more, that time is gone.

Case in points, most fighting games like Street Fighter 3rd strike and Super Smash are still going strong despite having 0 balance patches, people cry about OP characters but next year that character is no longer OP. Imagine this with modern Tekken/SF the game changes every year, nobody knows what the game is supposed to be.

Ubisoft can eat shit and die for all I care. Can't wait for whoever owns Anno next to fully strip down Denuvo and all their bullshit from those games. Even if it ends up in some PEF's hands, it'd be a goddamned improvement.

I've waited for over 10 fucking years for someone to crack 2205, if only to see if it's as awful as some people say.

And before any Shadows troonshit shill starts shrieking "wE wOn", think again. Investors will smell through Ubifilth's bullshit sooner rather than later, and when they do, that pig Yves is gonna get spitroasted like the scumbag he is.
