[QUOTE="Admin, post: 63460, member: 1"] Ubisoft has announced a $9.99 a month membership for its shooter [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/tom-clancys-rainbow-six-siege']Rainbow Six Siege[/URL] — and it’s not going down well with the core fanbase. Rainbow Six Siege, which is not a free-to-play game, recently revealed the second season of Year 9, dubbed Operation New Blood, and with it Ubisoft also introduced the R6 Membership. Here’s the official blurb from Ubisoft: It’s safe to say this membership has not gone down well with core Siege fans, many of whom are pointing out that the game costs money to buy and already has various microtransactions as well as a battle pass. As revealed by a TikTok clip posted by Royza Gaming, below, the announcement of the R6 Membership specifically was booed by fans during the BLAST R6 Major Manchester 2024 event for Rainbow Six Siege that took place over the weekend. Another [URL='https://www.reddit.com/r/Rainbow6/comments/1d151ny/live_reaction_to_r6_membership/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button']clip[/URL] posted by redditor I-Am-Bodge also showed the booing at the R6 Membership announcement.

The R6 Membership is even being compared unfavorably to the Fortnite Crew subscription, which is for a free-to-download game.
