I thought the game looked ok, but why would I pay $70 for a game that can disappear from my library whenever Ubisoft feels like it? They’ve demonstrated that they’re willing to permanently take games away from paying customers, so I’m not willing to spend more than the cost of a rental on one of their games.

Probably my biggest piece of advice is to use cruise control (if you have it) and go a tiny bit slower than the general flow of traffic, like 1-2 mph. Don’t be a pylon, but stick with the flow of traffic and lean toward letting others pass you. Generally avoid driving aggressively because following closely or making frequent passes is stressful and tiring, which adds up quickly on long drives. Take your time, relax, and enjoy it.

Speaking of the enshittification of YouTube, the TV app update from a week or two ago has been a life saver. When I look at my subscriptions now, all new content is hidden by a row of months-old shorts. I know there’s new stuff down below, but I can only see the top edge of the thumbnail, so I never see anything that would encourage me to impulse watch. I pretty much have to seek out specific videod or find them around the internet like the old days. It’s been pretty nice, actually.

I actually enjoyed the first two Crew games and probably would have checked out Motorfest by now if they didn’t remove the first game from my library. But now, why should I ever buy another Ubisoft game when I don’t know how long they’ll bless me with the ability to play the games I’ve paid for? They even included expiration dates for their game keys and they’re acting like those dates were completely meaningless. So, even if they try to add an end of life date for future purchases, how would I know they’re not lying like they did with these original keys?

Yeah, this isn’t an inflation problem, it’s a corporate greed problem. Prices have doubled for a lot of this stuff, sure, but quantities have halved, plus the little bit that’s left is packed with awful tasting fillers. Money aside, why would anyone keep buying smaller packages of worse tasting junk food?

I’m still amazed that they abandoned the remasters of their flagship series and just left them broken. I think I’ll hold off on any Rockstar remasters for the foreseeable future, hopefully it’s not a bad sign for GTA6.
