Always good to see someone in the industry push back on all of these shitty tactics the AAA publishers want to push.

I think what Ubisoft and Microsoft don't get is that SOME users are okay with subscriptions, but that's a small bit compared to people who don't.

Just cater to the niche that do want it and quit thinking you can make the whole market a subscription service.
