Rainbow Six Siege Fans Outraged Over New $9.99 Subscription Service
TL;DR
Ubisoft's announcement of a $10 monthly subscription service for Rainbow Six Siege, revealed at the Manchester Major esports event, has been met with significant backlash from fans. The R6 Membership, which includes access to the battle pass and other exclusive rewards, is seen as another monetization strategy for a game that is already heavily monetized. Fans are particularly upset because Rainbow Six Siege is not free-to-play, unlike other games with similar subscription models.
