I’ve never played The Crew nor The Crew 2, but I hate this guilt-by-association type of argument with every fiber of my heart.
Not because it defends Ubisoft (in this case), but because it completely accepts the asshole’s premise that the successor of a product is necessarily a valid substitute for the product itself, and the latter is not worth keeping around - it’s like eating an apple that has been cooked in an oven at 300°C for 5 hours, then arguing that apples are bad for your health.
See:
- Overwatch vs Overwatch 2
- Halo CE/2/3/W/ODST/R vs Halo 4/5/I (idk about H:W2)
- Halo: CE vs Halo: CEA (yes I’m listing Halo twice, sue me)
- Risk Of Rain vs Risk Of Rain 2 (both are very good games, but they are completely different from each other)
- Helldivers vs Helldivers 2 (same as above)
My only use for Reddit now is reading r/hfy stories, though I’m doing that through a local Redlib instance, hoping that those glitter sniffers don’t lock website content behind accounts like almost every other social medium does (but we all know that if something can get worse to make more money, it WILL get worse to make more money).
