"If what I've been told is true, Assassin's Creed Infinity will be quite focused on microtransactions, with a monthly subscription (a bit like GamePass) which will give access to all the old AC games (not sure about the new ones), future DLCs, one exclusive skin/item per month, etc. It wouldn't be surprising when we see how much Ubisoft has made most of the paid skins on Odyssey and Valhalla, but this would be worse..."

Stupid move if this is true

 

[Sleepwalker]

AC infinity may not have my money

 

[SEGAvangelist]

The naming clearly positions it as a forever game, so we should pay accordingly.

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

Thank God, I thought you were talking about an Armored Core game.

 

[cormack12]

Oh wow.

I hope its £12.99, that's seems about right.

Sorry should have typed Assassins Creed

 

[winjer]

Ubisoft should get used to not having my money.

 

[realcool]

Everybody wants me to become a subscriber.

Nah.

 

[Gojiira]

Lol DOA then…Why the fuck would anyone pay monthly just to access old games that are routinely free or dirt cheap?

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

I would say preorder canceled but.... yeah, there's no way I was buying this game, let alone preordering it.

Yves Guillemot rubbing his hands at the thought of "infinite" money and doing a surprised Pikachu when people won't like that idea

[rofif]

But at least no psn account is needed !

 

[TGO]

There is only three games from Ubi that I'm willing to buy, and all three have Remake in their name.

 

[Arun1910]

I thought Infinity was just supposed to be a sort of Hub to mimic the Animus in game and choose your game/story/memory.

If its subscription based then theres really no need for me to pay for it.

 

[Kurotri]

Fucking Ubisoft man

 

[//DEVIL//]

Yes do it. Please do it.

So it can flop so hard and you go under and we get rid of your shitty company. please do it . 100$ per month

 

[Complistic]

Ubisoft, lol

 

[SJRB]

That's great! I paid like 5 bucks for Ubi +, played AC Mirage for about 10 hours and canceled my sub.

Saved me 40 bucks! Did the same with Far Cry 6 and Ghost Recon. Thanks Ubi!

 

[Dazraell]

 

[Shakka43]

Don't they give all AC games with their (whatever is called) Ubisoft subscription thing already? If so, the point of this subscription is even dumber than it already sounds.

 

[Orutisu Furio]

AC Infinity as in trying to find ways to collect money from as many dumb people as possible for infinity.

Someone eventually has to scoop that xbox fan gamepass gamer void ...

 

[Hudo]

"So, what's the next AC gonna be about?"
"Netflix"

[Tomi]

Good
Stopped buying Ubisoft games years ago, and i couldn't be happier
Best decision of my life

 

[FunkMiller]

Stop buying Ubisoft games.

Seriously now.

Is Ubisoft's subscription not good enough?

"If what I've been told is true, Assassin's Creed Infinity will be quite focused on microtransactions, with a monthly subscription (a bit like GamePass) which will give access to all the old AC games (not sure about the new ones), future DLCs, one exclusive skin/item per month, etc. It wouldn't be surprising when we see how much Ubisoft has made most of the paid skins on Odyssey and Valhalla, but this would be worse..."

Stupid move if this is true

This is probably either two things: A) Not true(yeah right) or B) Mistranslated. What they could mean is that you will be given a choice to join a subscription service for MTX in the game where you can
get free and paid items(that hopefully won't effect gameplay). Ala "GTA+ Club" for Ubisoft. Assassin's Creed Club $6.99 a month subscription.

 

[rm082e]

Hahahahahahahaha.

No.

 

[YuLY]

I was hoping they would do an Ancient Rome AC before the francize turned to shit. It was one of the last periods I really wanted to see from the series.

Hey Yves, suck my baguette you french fuck.

 

[Mossybrew]

Thank God, I thought you were talking about an Armored Core game.

Whew, I thought he was talking about an Ace Combat game.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Already expected this given the name and concept.

If not a subscription, that a GaaS designed to see battle passes.

 

[Valonquar]

Ubisoft can pound sand.

 

[AzekZero]

A year from now, an Ubisoft executive will be complaining about tight-fisted gamers in a studio closure announcement.

 

[R6Rider]

Whew, I thought he was talking about an Ace Combat game.

Whew, as a fan of Animal Crossing. I was worried.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Ubisoft and shitty monetization in games? There isn’t a more iconic duo.

 

[DaGwaphics]

I can see something like this working (not the sub so much, but just the idea of building a base for AC and then expanding on that) if instead of new full price games the base game got large updates come in the form of DLC.

The big question mark would be whether or not you could get AC fans to buy into the DLCs at anywhere near the rates they are currently buying the standalone games. In that sense, going the Spider-man route and selling a DLC as a standalone package might work better.

You should buy the games you subscribe for you cheap fuck!

 

[STARSBarry]

see I think Ubisoft should rename this title because well...

shortening it to AC Infinity makes me think of this.

 

[LordCBH]

Ubisoft can kiss my UbiAss.

 

[OneBigPuss]

Lol DOA then…Why the fuck would anyone pay monthly just to access old games that are routinely free or dirt cheap?

Because you need to get comfortable with not owning games.

 

[Alan Silvestro]

lol no thanks.

 

[DAHGAMING]

Wow a new skin each month , where do i sign up, take my money.

 

[RoboFu]

As long as it optional I don't care. If it's not optional then I'm not going to buy it plain and simple.

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

Just call it a Monthly Animus Access Fee...lean into it.

AssCreed is a gaming platform and I will probably bite for a month or two...esp if they add more Odyssey content to it.
