The video discusses various issues and frustrations with the latest season of Rainbow Six Siege, a tactical shooter game developed by Ubisoft. The speaker criticizes the game's numerous bugs, server issues, and the impact on gameplay, particularly noting a decline from a promising year nine season one to a disappointing year nine season two. Key points include the underwhelming introduction of two new operators, problematic custom game experiences, and cheater prevalence on PC.
A significant focus is on the new gaming membership model, which is compared negatively to traditional memberships like those for gyms or Netflix due to its high cost and limited content. The membership, costing $127 CAD/month or $100 USD/year, offers a variety of in-game items and perks but is deemed inadequate and overpriced relative to past season passes.
The speaker calls out Ubisoft's capitalist approach, accusing executives of prioritizing profit over game quality, leading to rushed releases and a myriad of bugs. They advise players to avoid supporting these monetization tactics and to play the game less when it is in poor condition to send a message to the company.
The video concludes with the creator announcing plans for diverse content on the channel, while still including elements of Siege. Viewers are encouraged to engage with the content and share their thoughts on the game's current state and the new membership program.

In this segment, the narrator discusses the current state of Rainbow Six Siege, expressing frustration with server issues and hit registration problems, which are impacting the gameplay experience. The video highlights the transition from a promising year nine season one, which brought back older players and popular features like the ACOG scope, to a disappointing year nine season two. The latest season is plagued with bugs and lacks substantial new content. The introduction of two new operators was underwhelming, particularly the rework of the recruit operator, which was essentially a reskin from the mobile version of the game, stripping away its unique features. Despite some positive changes, like barbwire causing damage again, the overall season has been a letdown.

They express frustration over the overwhelming presence of bugs in the game, such as broken custom games and a significant dead zone issue affecting console gameplay. The speaker criticizes the challenges casual gamers face and describes PC gameplay as the most unplayable it’s ever been due to cheaters.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses their frustrations with a new gaming membership model for “R6.” They compare it to traditional memberships and subscriptions, like those for gyms or Netflix, which offer extensive, exclusive content. The speaker highlights the membership’s cost ($127 CAD/month or $9 USD/month, and $100 USD/year), expressing disappointment with the provided content. This membership includes a premium battle pass, operator Bravo packs, 600 credits, multiple cosmetic sets, a 10% store discount, and 30% faster battle pass progression. However, the speaker criticizes the membership for only giving one item per season to complete a full legendary set, monthly exclusive epic bundles, and one Bravo pack per month, which they find inadequate given the price. They feel past season passes offered more value for $60/year, yielding significantly more content. The speaker appreciates the R6 Marketplace but thinks combining it with the membership in a buggy season is excessive and not worthwhile.

The speaker advises viewers to stop supporting money-hungry aspects of the game, such as membership programs and the marketplace, and instead play the game less when it is in a poor state to send a message to the executives. They believe this will help improve the game’s quality in the long term.
