Misinformation. An article not as blatantly trying to manipulate people: https://www.ign.com/articles/ubisoft-exec-says-gamers-need-to-get-comfortable-not-owning-their-games-for-subscriptions-to-take-off?utm_source=twit
Its wild the difference 5 words make for a headline
It doesn't make a difference. He still wants you to get comfortable with that. It doesn't matter how he dresses up his sentences his thought process is the same, thats how he got to CEO.
But he's not CEO. He's the director of subscriptions at ubi, so of course he's going to push this line of thinking; his job depends on it!
The good news is that Ubisoft's stock fell ~10% once this soundbite took off, so hopefully other publishers read the room
