Always testing the line... This wasn't a mistake. They know you'll be upset, they are testing HOW upset and then they'll make their decision.

If you're "upset" but buy another Ubisoft game anyway, then you weren't that upset --> Ubisoft will keep doing it.

(you as in generic you)

Ubisoft doesn't give a shit. Never did. They are the ones who added booster packs after certain time in game so you can progress at a normal pace instead if you pay them extra. Am actually surprised someone reacted this time since usually they are fiendishly defended by dedicated fans.

They don't give a shit but if everyone rejects their bulshit, like that NFT nonsense, they will back off (and try again later)

True. And it usually works or at least to a degree, otherwise they wouldn't keep doing it.
