watch dogs had so much potential and material to work with to become THE commentary piece for sovereignty in the age of big tech oligopolies, especially considering the political events and scandals coinciding at the time, and Ubisoft leveraged none of that??? the Hollywoodification of the technical mechanism, the forced edgy writing with PG13 dialogues, the cookie-cutting art direction void of any identity, this game feels nauseatingly plain and unoriginal as a player.

as a media enthusiast, i fucking hate the corporate indoctrinated approach to media production and the braindead content taking up so much space in the public sphere. i would rather play horse boyfriend simulator than continue endorsing this piece of shit. fuck you ubisoft.
