Watching the Watchdogs "scandal" unfold was enough to turn me off Ubisoft for years. It's not that it was unique to Ubisoft, it was just the most grotesque case of under delivery I'd ever sunk money into. Especially when I had just come off GTA V, which was 90% of the same gameplay, but the engine and art were significantly better in every measurable way I could think of.
For a small time game dev like Hello Games failing to meet expectations with No Man's Sky, I was generally willing to accept their failure and apologies, and continued to go back and try games.
For a major publisher like Ubi, I ended up boycotting them for years.
