Sheesh, yet another company trying to become a subscription service.
Who the hell is going to be able to actually afford dozens of subscriptions by the time this nonsense gets balkanized fully?
Corporate greed, sigh. Luckily we'll all be dead in 20-30 years.

Not particularly doubting your statement, I am simply ignorant "as-fuck" on the subject. I don't think I've even ever been on Ubi-soft's website.
If you get access to the full expensive-as-fuck ultimate editions of some Ubi games then $14.99 is not such a bad deal at all.

Wouldn't be cheaper to change their name from Ubisoft to Tom Clancy Presents:

Good on Ubi for giving this a shot, but I'm not sure it's going to gain a lot of traction.
They do have some seriously good games in their catalogue, and there are a lot of different genres, but so many of those games are well out dated now.
I guess if you had to pick a monthly service to subscribe to, it wouldn't be the worst.
Not really my cup of tea though.
