    How much of a premium would you be willing to pay for a version of a game that stripped out any connection with Ubisoft?

    If you answered more than zero dollars, how the hell does Ubisoft make basic sense as a business?

    For me, just thinking of a couple off the top of my head I would gladly pay a $10+ premium for Steep (edit Shredders at $17 is a far better deal for this reason than Steep at $3) or Riders Republic if Ubisoft’s involvement in the games were completely removed, I am talking about right now in the year 2025 not even when these games came out originally… they are brilliant but utterly undermined by Ubisoft. I think for the recent Ghost Recon games Breakpoint and Wildlands I would happily pay a $15+ premium for versions that stripped out Ubisoft BS and added good mod support.

    Ubisoft is an anti-brand more than it is a business.
