Ubisoft announced its unique flavor of NFTs Tuesday, which is going over terribly with fans! As in, thousands upon thousands of dislikes on YouTube.
Not that the negative reception should surprise anyone keeping up with the video game industry lately. In October, developer Behaviour Interactive got mangled by Dead By Daylight fans for a similar practice. I like to imagine Ubisoft watched that whole mess and went: “yeah, we can top that no sweat,” and by golly, it sure looks like they have! Everyone loved punching down on Ghost Recon: Breakdown to begin with, so at least the company is consistent.
By this point, Ubisoft is undoubtedly happy that YouTube removed the “dislike” button on videos. Otherwise, its quaint NFT announcement video would be showering in dislikes!
Thankfully, a nifty chrome extension called Return YouTube Dislike does precisely what its name implies! Let’s look at that announcement video again, then, shall we?
