Y'all wanna know why I'm not worried about AI anymore? 1) if you have something that requires electricity (PC, wifi, etc.) and your power goesout, you can't use AI, and AI can't do anything. 2) Big companies will do anything to cut corners on a product and make you pay a premium for the same thing, if not worse. As long as that trend keeps going, they'll never make an AI smart enough to do any harm (unless it's a malware).

what Ubisoft doesn't realize is that when you buy a game any game doesn't matter what it is you bought the copyrights to the game when you pay usd or cash for it

[@enderkatze6129]

There's a Second settings menu?

[@isuckatusernames4297]

also btw, the guy who revealed the fallout lore. he actually backtracked his statement after soemoen pointed out that it would make him a war criminal (if you consider canadian citizen as deserving of human rights)

[@Flameiscool]

4:09 the yt playables used to be a feature for premium it started around janurary and ended like last month so some people knew

[@Mileal76]

the fact that he talks about control panel, a suite for the hardware and settings a suite for options on the OS, like its new. is just cracking me up.

[@sebastian1998555]

I don't think it's the first time a game has been revoked, but it's definitely the biggest, as other happened longer after release and by the time it happened to most of the player base was 10-100 players, and in some cases the studio just straight up went bankrupt

[@moonshredder5181]

I got a useless disk of The Crew so how can i refunds it?

[@MonkeNeuronActivated]

sidenote about your point you made around 5:00 to use a password generator. Here's the biggest thing, if you're going to use a password generator, do not directly copy and paste it into your account. At the very least re-shuffle the password it gives you manually, since password generators just use algorithms to generate passwords, and if the algorithm is known, you might as well have a password called "Password 1234". Since a brute force on a password straight out of a password generator, can actually be easier than if you just made a 20 character password by spamming the keyboard + adding a few special characters.

I still can't get over the funny thing where, pirates get to actually keep their copy of a game(and can do whatever they want with it). While people who get theirs through legal means, are eventually effed out of access to the game they PAID for. I thought getting a genuine copy of the game means the customer gets to have a BETTER experience with it than with the pirated ones...

[@CrusaderGabriel]

1:08 I always preferred to buy physical games, being a 90s kid who HAD to get all games physical for obvious reasons, when digital became a thing I still preferred to buy them physical to remember my childhood days. Then the debate of physical vs digital started and people kept claiming physical should disappear once and for all, well here is the reason why it’s good physical still exists: also I remember reading an article where someone mentioned that the best way to preserve many series and movies will still be physical. (Also in my third world country I tend to find physical games cheaper than buying digital, for example MK1 would cost me around 1800 pesos digital, bought it on amazon for almost half that price)

So many pirates remember what happens to pirates?

If the AI Pin was good imagine making it into the Star Trek pin and using it to talk to people that would be cool

[@mintyboi88]

With KZbin playables it was a KZbin premium beta feature and I remember using the beta for like 15 minutes and thinking that was dumb

Spotify remix is a good idea because I hate when artist release a sped version as a single

I had an account with siege on it then when I took a break and came back to play it I found out they just removed it off my account

[@TheRealW.S.Foster]

Idk about y'all, but I actually like the idea of Nate (the male protagonist of Fallout 4) being the dude hanging around next to that one guy who executed a Canadian. Role-playing wise, this could make for a fun part of his backstory - maybe he's hiding the fact that he was cold-blooded from Nora? Maybe he's feeling guilty by just standing there and witnessing that execution.

[@Vasher-The-Destroyer]

KZbin playable just feels like scrolling through the Google Play app.

isnt the car footage from need for speed most wanted 2012? Just looks more like that than crew

If this doesn't mark the next golden age of piracy, I don't know what will.

[@bottlecapsyt]

Pirating isn't stealing anymore boys, the crew is now free

[@ChaseMC215]

1, not true, the Crew had always been unpirateable for years And 2, Digital Piracy is Copyright Infringement

Copilot is SO much better than Cortana, Cortana was just annoying while Copilot is just chatgpt but actually useful for research since you can use the internet and get sources

Thank you for telling me about manor lords, Shit looks dope

[@marx3186]

The last thing I bought with Ubisoft's involvement, was Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope. And all I can say, (which I never thought I would) is thank god for Nintendo keeping a stranglehold on it.

[@marcosbradanovic9100]

"you will own nothing..."

[@AbnormalAbnorman]

Can Ubisoft even do that? Like, is there some strip deep inside their ToS that just allows them to take a game you bought and own away from you whenever they feel like? Is this legal?

[@rompevuevitos222]

Yes, their ToS allows them to do so. Not that it is likely to stand in court, but a company this big is immune to the law.

[@Prismic78]

@@rompevuevitos222that says a lot about the legal system

Ubisoft has fallen off hard

[@rompevuevitos222]

They fell off when they kept re-releasing AC games non stop with increasingly worse bugs (despite using the same damn engine they where supposed to be improving all this time)
