Topic	Why Ubisoft is obsessed with "games as a service"
Dash_Harber 02/12/18 6:47:14 PM #10:	Darmik posted... Dash_Harber posted... So you think the reason that EA and Ubisoft are profitable is because of Origin and Ubisoft Club? I mean, how do you even measure that when the product you are selling is the game and you are forcing people to use the service to play them? Ubisoft aren't talking about uPlay. They're talking about their new business model for games. Basically releasing a game and then supporting it with post-launch content for a year or more. My misunderstanding. That makes more sense. It's not really new, though. Expansion packs have been a thing for almost as long as video games have. <cite>Dash_Harber posted [p:895964257] in Why Ubisof...
