This statement was made by Ubisoft's director of subscriptions, Phillipe Tremblay, who recently spoke to Gamesindustry.biz about the digital future and Ubisoft Plus specifically. Tremblay states that people eventually "got comfortable" with not owning their CD or DVD collections, and that a similar shift in attitude "needs to happen" in gamers.

Thats fine, the normies will, and then it will become normal just like everything else awful that is their fault for going along with it.

That's ok for them though, you and me will sail the seas finding adventure and friendship and shit while they sit on their doodoo drm islands
