Definitely makes me not want to buy their AAAA games if they can just revoke the licenses against our will a few years down the road.

How do they not see that this is hurting their brand long-term?

Modern American capitalism doesn't care about long term brands. Shareholders demand quarter on quarter growth.

Ubisoft is French

We should probably change it to "American style capitalism" as the behaviour seems to have either originated or mainlined in America first. But it's seen in most global and domestic software companies around the globe today.

This is like the fact that Metal Gear Rising Revengeance is about how the American war machine is bad, but one of the bosses you kill is French. One of the themes of the game is that the American military industrial complex literally turns foreigners into war machines, just as it does to foreign nations.

Don't worry, I'm sure they won't burn us with the new Star Wars game!

I only buy games at super ultra mega steam sale prices for this reason. If I lose a $5 game... so what
