    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)
