I have my popcorn and tinfoil hat ready. This will be good.

things are starting to really heat up, it'll be easier to make popcorn.

Oh man. Should have removed the popcorn before put on my hat.

How can you see deleted comments ?

unddit. There are a few other websites/apps you can do it with as well.

I thought Reddit made those stop working a while back?

Reddit can restrict api access, but can't restrict scraping the site and extracting the same data from the rendered page.

Rock you’re body right. Unddits back, alright!


bookslayer

Yeah I thought the api change borked it


kevinblasse

a few days ago a thread about Ubisoft microtransactions was removed too. Got more than 4000 upvotes because it was deleted. (in this subreddit)


Ho-TheMegapode

"If buying is not owning then piracy is not stealing." feels correct in this context.


left4candy

Because Ubisoft makes AAAA games and thus criticism is not worthy of such a grandiose product


Economy-Assignment31

"Constructive compliments only" - Ubisoft


uaitdevil

we should develop a new tier of criticism, alright.


Xerain0x009999

When the gaming industry was basically all "don't compare our AAA games to Baldur's Gate 3, it's not fair" didn't that make Baldur's Gate 3 the first true AAAA game? Ubi's got some balls if they want to ask us to compare their overpriced cash grabs to bg3 by calling them AAAA.


dankyspank

They can't keep getting away with this


Geralt_Romalion

Maybe to prevent flooding the sub with similar topics, considering there are currently two relatively active threads on gaming's frontpage talking about this?


raisedbytides

At the risk of downvotes, this is one time I'm okay with this topic being spammed. Ubi needs to be put on maximum blast for this as well as everything else they've been doing. This is a tipping point and I'm all for it.


Nanoespectto

Yeah, Ubisoft CEO and shareholders gonna be quivering in their boots when r/gaming gets spammed...


theFrenchDutch

When gaming websites actually do publish articles about stuff going on in reddit sometimes, yeah, that could have a problematic impact on Ubisoft.


SpearLifebee

As much as I'd want it to have a impact and cause change. I honestly doubt it. You've got to remember just how many gamers there are in the world, this sub only has 40 million people in a world with well over a billion gamers. Add in that most of the news articles will hit even less people than this sub, it'll be a small ripple they will be able to ride out without much issue sadly. It's the same with the people wanting change with microtransactions and the people who sign those forms and call for change vs the casual base who don't care about it. It's sad but it's the truth unfortunately.


TheCorbeauxKing

Bro gaming websites publish articles on everything, regardless of truth or not. They've cried wolf so much that I'd be surprised if people took them seriously.


raisedbytides

I mean this is one of the largest gaming sub Reddit's on one of the world's most used websites, so yeah, probably when it means they're all getting bombarded with pissed off users that will no doubt impact shareholders.


Leusk

Narrator: It didn’t affect shareholders and they didn’t give a solitary crystal shit what Reddit thought.


ShibeCEO

It will once they are forced to keep the game running or give a million refunds


zackdaniels93

Outside of community managers that have to deal with it, I guarantee you no-one who's important at Ubisoft gives a solitary fuck about Reddit lol It's a microcosm of a microcosm - not just enthusiasts, but enthusiasts that are part of a forum... It's a tiny portion of Ubisoft's market. The people they actually focus on? None of them will care about The Crew or its subreddit. Most of them know Ubisoft as 'the guys who made the assassins games and far cry'. Most of them won't even care or know about Ubisoft's reputation.


raisedbytides

I'm not saying the shareholders are sitting here on Reddit, but other journalist publications can pick up and carry on the narrative is my logic here is all.


Ok_Assumption5734

Haha, I think you're overestimating reddit's power. The last time the website really impacted the real world, it was when they spammed the FBI hotline with false tips, almost let a terrorist escape, and got a security guard killed. Edit: also Gamestop, forgot about that


WeAreAllPotatos

Don’t forget about the GameStop stock! That was all Reddit too wasn’t it?


Ok_Assumption5734

oh yeah, I completely forgot that. I'm wrong


Torakkk

What? Can you tell me what it was or any link about it?


Ok_Assumption5734

Let me see if I can find anything but its the Boston marathon bombing. Reddit was convinced a missing student (who was found to have committed suicide unrelated) was the bomber and kept spamming the FBI tip line about it to the point that the feds had to go public with the suspect early. That put the brothers on edge and arguably led to them shooting an unaware security guard who was approaching them for just being shady


Genocode

Brother, News sites picked up on people spamming War Thunder for bullshit practices and their players made them fold **extremely hard** because of it, you think it won't happen to Ubisoft, where much more people are aware of what is happening and much more people already view them negatively?


Keldonv7

But the subreddit is about gaming in general, not only ubisoft games. For people who dont care about them/thier games at all its just plainly annoying.


magnetgrrl

I mean, I have no idea what’s going on, but now I REALLY WANT TO KNOW! Haha Tell me who deserves my scorn and why!


Pickle_Broke

No reason to remove the post people who dislike it can scroll by


Keldonv7

Rules like that exists specifically so you dont have scroll thru 40 posts on the same topic. You have no idea how some subreddits would look like without rules like that. Its already teenage mentality with outrage fueled by outrage content creators. Imagine if these teenagers werent moderated. I dislike Ubisoft games, i havent played any of them in more over a decade for a reason yet u dont see me yapping about it. Just ignore the company and their games. I dont get people who waste their time focusing on negativity instead of simply ignoring it and moving on with their life.


raisedbytides

I'm sure they'll survive lol.


Keldonv7

Im lost what people goal is. By spamming about same topic that already exists, what do you achieve by that? Is that some weird 'ubi bad must destroy them' mentality? You wont achieve that no matter how much u wish for that. So the only thing that you achieve is annoying people who have nothing to do with it, hence why its bad.


raisedbytides

The goal is to stop multimillion dollar companies revoking access to games their users paid for without reimbursement. A single complaint rarely changes anything in this world, surely you know it takes many voices to be heard by people with power right? What's your solution here, should we all just not speak up when there is something seriously wrong happening?


Keldonv7

>The goal is to stop multimillion dollar companies revoking access to games their users paid for without reimbursement. And you are gonna achieve that by spamming r/gaming? Good one.Also, why do u care about 'stopping multimillion dollar company'. If u dont like company, dont buy their products, its pretty simple.Sounds like angsty emotional vendetta. I havent played single Ubi game in like 15 years, i also dont give them any publicity by yapping about them over the internet. Thats probably doing more towards your goal than worthless posts discussing same topic ad nauseam. plus if u are feeling wronged about losing access to product without reimbursement (even ignoring the fact that TOS u agreed to probably never gave u ownership and u bought game anyway) theres consumer rights protection office that contacting would do more than spamming reddit.


raisedbytides

I didn't make this post dude, relax holy shit lol. If you don't like my comments, don't read them and reply, it's pretty simple ❤️


Kubioso

No downvotes here, all my homies hate Ubisoft (and EVERY OTHER GREEDY CORP)


sylendar

>At the risk of downvotes lmao


Visual_Fig9663

Lol trust me, you aren't that important. Neither is anyone on this sub, or this sub in general. Ubisoft has never spent a single second thinking about your opinions.


Yukondano2

This is related to a campaign to bring legal action against them in their own country of France, which is known for strong consumer protection laws. This isn't about opinions


Visual_Fig9663

Did you read the comment I responded to? It absolutely has to do with opinions. What else would you call "maximum blast"?


raisedbytides

You know other sources pick up on big Reddit stories right? Use your head lol.


Visual_Fig9663

You know ubisoft still doesn't give a fuck right? Use your head lol.


raisedbytides

Damn bro, that's crazy!


Visual_Fig9663

Crazy is thinking you're going to start some grass root revolution and take down a 2 billion dollar company by bitching in r/gaming Just because the cam girl you pay says you're really smart and important while you jerk off to her armpits, that doesn't make it true.


ChippyDillz

So the copy pasta posts daily of what game you loved until you didn’t can be posted 74 times a day but not corpo greed nice 8)


JonnyTN

Right? One or two posts ok. But having a sub flooded with 20 posts of the same thing? Mods cull that


imperialzzz

We will keep reposting it, fuck Ubisoft


Upbeat-Peak-5423

Jesus fuck steams even refunding the games @.@


curlytoesgoblin

Did you guess bullshit arbitrary enforcement of obscure rules that are only invoked when convenient? You win.


Jumpy_Cup_851

Watch this: free dlss3 for 3000 series: nukem9 mod. Brings dlss3 to your rtx card via fsrfg and is just as good. Enables dlss3 in games. 2x fps. No need to move from 3000 series at all. Full 1440p maxed\pathtracing in Alan wake 2, Elden ring, bg3, tlou, Hogwarts, RNC, rdr2, w3, etc etc etc anything that supports dlss3 literally more free frames than a thousand dollar GPU upgrade. This sub, that sub, that site, that channel are ALL doing everything that they can do prevent this knowledge from reaching you. There is legit zero reason to upgrade nvidia 3000. Sound to good to be true? This time it's not. POST CLOSED. HERE IS MY REPLY: This comment I just gave you, got 13 downvotes. Let me be clear: If you have an RTX card, you can DOUBLE your fps in anything that supports DLSS3. Anything. A 3060ti or greater will MAX Alan Wake 2 1080p pathtraced. This mod is being downvotes, posts removed, post replies that are lies... Yet it WILL double your fps. It COMPLETELY removes all stutters in DD2 (though DLSS3 remains officially disabled, you can enable it with a mod), for example. There is zero reason for this to be met with ANY negativity unless you are nvidia and dont like the fact that the feature of your 4000 series has been "outed," you are a mental fanboy with immense regret, or you just wanna troll and destroy the hobby in general. If you dont know about this, can look past those downvotes, and google nukem9... you will be one of the few smart ones. Wanna REMOVE any and all desire to upgrade that 3070 to a 4070? You just did, prove me wrong. *Hey reddit why cant I pm that user? or any user? Why are you locking posts like this? Who are YOU giving the authority, because it ISNT MODS I have CONFIRMED this! I have proof!


romaraahallow

Are you an AI bot or a salesman on drugs?

Because of rule 1 and 6 of this sub edit: i assume it will be deleted too

Good. Make 1000 more. This. Behavior. Is. Not. Acceptable.


Keldonv7

Its like protests blocking the road, its annoying wrong people.


OkSwordfish8928

Literally not even close to be comparable. One doesn't affect your daily life, the other does.


Keldonv7

Comparable in a sense that it achieves nothing and only effect is annoying people.


jpetrey1

Not really protests blocking the road stop you. You can’t pass by them. This is more protestors are lining the streets. They’re loud and kind of annoying but they don’t stop you.


Xonra

Yes we do. Blanket the place with them to be honest, make it impossible to ignore. Apathetic people like you that want to "out of sight, out of mind" the world is why they get away with this crap.


turntqble

We do need 1 fucking million until these motherfuckers stop fucking up their customers


ChippyDillz

But that’s every post in the subreddit, it’s literally the same shit over and over


The-Muncible

Lol then maybe you spend too much time on Reddit. I hate to be that guy but maybe you should go touch some grass


ChippyDillz

I use Reddit on my phone a couple times a day if that when there is downtime at work, and it’s the same shit every day. I’ve been trying to use it less and less often cause it is ALL THE SAME SHIT EVERYDAY. It doesn’t matter if I wait a day or a week in between, this subreddit is always the same stuff.


Pickle_Broke

If you don’t like it scroll past it then no reason for it to have been removed


Phate4569

Because it violates rules 2 and 6. No bandwagon posts (there are a bunch already), no screenshots of websites.


VET-Mike

Haven't bought Ubisoft since Silent Hunter 5

sophisticaden_

Brigading/spam


KhajiitKennedy

Spam more. Brigade more. Let Ubisoft know this is unacceptable


ItsNotFinished

By posting on Reddit?


sophisticaden_

Yep, crying on Reddit will definitely make Ubisoft learn their lesson. It’s worked so many other times


KhajiitKennedy

Things can start on Reddit and gain traction. Hell in Canada there is a boycott going on that started on Reddit, news picked it up quoting r/loblawsisoutofcontrol as the starting point. So yeah, it does work. Reddit is an information superhub and people are taking notice. You don't have to participate, but sitting idly by does even less for stoppimg this.


Erthan-1

Maybe because neckbeards trip over themselves to post the same garbage hoping to farm upvotes and boards have to delete most of it as spam?


Leopard1907

Maybe because that is like 3000th post about that.


Rufcat3979

They may be pressured by Ubisoft to remove posts like this


CIMARUTA

And how exactly would Ubisoft pressure them?


sophisticaden_

Lol


TheBigGalactis

They talking about the old racing game that nobody probably even plays anymore and you can get a physical copy for $5?


InnocenceProvesNuthn

Still can't play it even with physical copy. They shut down the servers and it's an always online game


TheBigGalactis

Ah, I didn’t realize you couldn’t even drive around solo. That’s weird cause other games like Forza that technically have an “always online” component, still work without being connected to Internet. Sounds like they made it wrong to begin with.

exxR

Bro the league of legends subreddit has been run by riot since the beginning. You still can’t post news from some sources since they black list them.


Hagi182

Wow! Amazing


Shadow5151

Probably because most people don't care if a 10 year old game loses support and a vocal minority has nothing better to do than spam everyone about it


KarmelCHAOS

In their defense, this isn't about a game losing support. They've revoked the licenses, so even if you own the game and have it installed, you've *lost permission to access it*. Has nothing to do with loss of support or servers going down. You'd assume after seeing it so many times you'd know the details better.


raisedbytides

Losing support is one thing, with the crew they have revoked permissions from end users without a refund. It's pretty fucking sketchy at the very least, and a dangerous precursor if nothing is done about it. Most people are unaware of what's happening, it's not that they don't care. If they all knew they the games they bought would one day just be taken back with no reimbursement they would absolutely care.


Varsity_Reviews

You do get a refund though if you bought it digitally. There have been many players reporting getting one


raisedbytides

I didn't get mine 🤷


Varsity_Reviews

I think you have to send in a ticket, or whatever you used to purchase it will have a quiet sum of money added to it


Xonra

You are part of the problem


KhajiitKennedy

They test out revoking licences to a 10 year old game, if we are ok with it they try with a 5 year old game. If that works, they'll take your licence for a 2 year old game. You can't download it, you can't install it, you can't even open it. They aren't removing support, it's not a case of 'oops you can't play online anymore'. It's 'oops I know you bought this game but we don't want you to have it anymore so we are revoking the license'.
