I’d rather quit gaming. Fuck Ubisoft and their predatory practices.

That doesn't count. They re-release it for every console anyway...

I still have a lot of Kaizo levels to beat.

Indie gaming is only getting better and better - unity self-immolating has slowed the tide a bit, but random individuals now have access to tools on par with professionals

Plus AAA games are compulsively running with lower and lower staff, putting more and more effort into micro transaction content, and pushing the game less and less finished. It makes indie games and standout hits feel better by contrast

Why quit gaming? Enjoy it for free on the mighty sea!
