    That was me, too.

    And then, 6 years ago when they showed it at E3 : “Wait, what?.. Uh, I’m good Ubisoft, I don’t need whatever this is anymore.”

    And then of course it disappeared again anyway.

        😁 Sorry not sorry!

        Nah, I wouldn’t even wish it gone, really. I just couldn’t care even a bit about anything they had to show that day.

        BG&E was that charming single-player adventure game, with quirky and lovable characters and a tiny handcrafted universe. And with a non-ending that begged for a direct sequel.

        What they showed in that E3 preview was yet another freaking Ubisoft open-world. It was supposed to be planet-level huge, because of course it was powered by boring procedural bullshit. It was always online, multi-player oriented, and “if you really want it, you could play it alone, but why would you?”

        Oh, and it was a prequel with different characters, because fuck your closure I guess.

          Well, unfortunately, that is what Ubisoft has become. If it isn’t AC, it doesn’t get the love it deserves. Their Mario+Rabbids are the only exception these days.
