unlabelledView post →Elon Musk rage quit his livestream playing a video game while getting mercilessly trolled in the comments. He says “connection lost” yet he’s still live streaming. Is he trying to say he’s soft, that he can’t play video games, or that Starlink service isn’t so good? 🤣
unlabelledView post →As someone who loves Starlink (I also own it on the Switch), I cannot recommend it at it's current price. I initially picked up Starlink on the Switch because I wanted the Arwing toy and I really wanted to play the Starfox missions. I instantly fell in love with the game, it feels great to play and the combat is really snappy and enjoyable. Character's have decent background stories and the voice acting is great and doesn't get annoying as you fly around saving the star system. It feels like a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Starlink is a confidence game/soft ponzi that requires new up front contracts to bamboozle Silicon Valley VC idiots into throwing more capital into the incinerator, if the rate of growth plateaus or decreased, it's game over lol

unlabelledView post →I'm having a lot of fun with this game - it's repetitive, like most Ubisoft titles, but I'm enjoying what I'm doing. The problem, however, is that it's appallingly expensive. Eighty dollars for a game from last year? A hundred dollars' worth of DLC that amounts to two fairly small weapon, pilot, and ship packs? Come on, Ubi. Wait for a sale unless you're hellbent on playing No Man's Sky crossed with Far Cry.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →. 🚨 WAKE UP! 🚨 Elon Musk gutted NOAA’s satellite oversight, & now Russia has a satellite killer. Coincidence? Not a chance. By weakening US surveillance, he’s handed Putin the perfect opening—while making Starlink the only game in town. Control space, control communication. Stay awake. 🚨 .
unlabelledView post →Canada is not backing down now on tariffs. He has gone too far and our government is done with his BS. He is as dumb as a door nail if he thinks we’ll play his egocentric game. Tariffs in, US liquor pulled from shelves, Starlink either cancelled or the contracts not going to be renewed 1/2
unlabelledView post →Same old problems persist throu years, unable to launch the game. FU U UBI
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →But! Starships really are optimized for carrying next-gen Starlink satellites. If Musk can get these Starships going, it's game over in the satellite internet sector. Musk wins. That's why some believe that Mars is a shiny object, and Starlink is the real goal.

unlabelledView post →Also, Starlink is not the only game in town. Europe has their own space satellite company. And this is why we don’t have monopolies, folks! And yes - I am yelling!
unlabelledView post →It might be a good time to point out that the Switch version of Ubisoft's 2018 Starlink: Battle for Atlas--which does not require toys to play--doubled as a pretty good Star Fox game. And it's still the newest Star Fox adventure available kotaku.com/theres-a-lot... www.nintendo.com/us/store/pro...
unlabelledView post →New business proposal: SpaceX Invaders Like the arcade game, but you get to shoot down Starlink satellites in real time. Anyone got any military contacts for the hardware?
unlabelledView post →Tonight we were out at Truist Park with @cwaunion.bsky.social to make sure All Star Game attendees know that T-Mobile's partnership with Starlink is no home run. We'll keep pushing T-Mobile to live up to their pledge to be a "greater force for good." #starlinktakedown #teslatakedown
unlabelledView post →On sale it's worth it if you like space / action / exploration games. The maps are quite huge, you go from planets to planets, explore space in an open world fashion. It's interesting to discover new things in the game, be it new species, exotic places or abandoned treasures. The gameplay and overall experience are good but the game might become a bit repetitive after few hours tho. Unfortunately it's all vehicles based exploration, no on foot movements... The combat system is nice, you can…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wish I enjoyed Starlink more than I did. It's genuinely cool that on Switch, you can START the game as Fox Mccloud and the Starlink crew meet you to kick off the plot. The first 15 minutes being from Fox's perspective as he enters this crossover. Wolf was cool as hell too.
unlabelledView post →Yes, I have the virtualization options already turned off on Windows, no Ubisoft, I'm not going to change a BIOS option just for ONE game because you lazy a****les can't patch a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ game that you ask NINETY EUROS for the complete edition.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What are the chances we get Wolf’s actor from Starlink cast in this new game?
unlabelledView post →by the way, this is why I don't trust ANY of SpaceX's extremely sketchy financial claims about Starlink: the game Elon plays 100% incentivizes minimizing the economics of the launch business (which has a small, finite customer base) and maximize the perceived performance of Starlink (bigger TAM)

unlabelledView post →Carr pushes numerous outright lies here @semaforben.bsky.social doesn't push hard enough on: -the lie starlink grants were blocked for "partisan reasons" (Starlink tried to game RDOF, and there were capacity concerns) -the weird antisemitic swipe at soros for a distant proxy audacy banlkruptcy bid
unlabelledView post →I bet most people haven't played the best Star Fox game ever made- Starlink Battle for Atlas. Absolutely loved this game, but it was so under the radar. You can play the entire game as Fox on Switch and his storyline ties into the main story. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rm0Q...
unlabelledView post →‼️ URGENT!! A post on X from Mario Nawfal, founder of IBC Group, described the update as a “game changer,” saying “Apple quietly adds Starlink to iPhones in iOS 18.3.”
unlabelledView post →From #Teslatakedown to #StarlinkShutdown It’s time we play the long game to ensure Musk cannot buy our democracy in 2028. If you have #Tmobile (which I do), we must change carriers to those who will not do business with Starlink. We’ve had enough. #HANDSOFF April 5th protests everywhere!
unlabelledView post →Elon Musk has used Starlink access as leverage while promoting a theory of direct democracy that treats governance as something you can resolve using an app-based poll. "Perhaps most revealing is what Fedorov told interviewer Caolan Robertson this week about his relationship with Musk:"
unlabelledView post →Between Starlink & TV advertising (during NFL game days) Ford dropped a cool $203B. That’s him, getting ‘er done, for no one. Ontarian’s need to get off our collective asses and VOTE. We all know what happens when we have low voter turnout. #StopVotingConservative
unlabelledView post →There's about 7 installers that you have to approve in your security settings, then an ubisoft account creation, and a couple other hoops, before you can even start the game. It's so freaking annoying... Games OK after, but ffs, ubisoft, come on. If you were an S.O. you'd be a serial killer.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →literally cant even play because it doesn't support Windows 11, I hate you Ubisoft
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I cannot get this game to work whatsoever. Gonna keep trying until just before I run out of time to refund, then I'm going to refund. Ubisoft just do not give a ♥♥♥♥.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love this game to bits. I have all the other versions, and all the toys. However, since they went digital only, there is no reason for the absurdly high price. Even with regional pricing, this game is way more expensive than other triple A games. I'd say the base price would have to be at least 50% of what it is now to consider it worth it. If on a good sale (at least 50%), I'd say go for it, otherwise, unfortunately, your money is better spent elsewhere.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →And, BTW, the wealthy Afrikaner who pled for Starlink in SA in the same meeting gave away the game. Oh, and won’t Trump’s newest Golden Dome wet dream rely heavily on Musk’s businesses? Come on. He. Is. Not. Gone. He is the unelected co-President.
unlabelledView post →!!WARNING!! This game DOES NOT WORK if you run modern windows with security features turned on. Especially not if you run Hyper-V. The devs DO NOT PLAN on fixing this. They will not make a bugfix, they will absolutely not remove the DRM that's causing the issue. The game is pretty much abandoned – they've made their money and won't sink any more into trying to fix this issue. "Sorry, this application cannot run under a Virtual Machine", is all I'm getting. Check out the Discussions page;…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Broken, like most Ubisoft games. They blame the players. Refuse to fix. DRM has killed this game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Overpriced yet highly underrated! This game ticks all of my boxes: ☑ Exploration ☑ 2 Player Co-Op (Split-screen) ☑ Loadouts & Ship Customization ☑ Progress System ☑ Satisfying Combat & Space Battles ☑ Engaging Story Let's hope Starlink 2 offers all content for a flat price of $60 USD and they add network play.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Generally fun, easy to play game, but Ubisoft Connect breaks the DLC. I purchased in April of 2024, deluxe edition with additional dlc pack. Have been playing on and off fine. Now April 2026, the Ubisoft Connect updated itself, and now the game won't recognize any of my DLC. Uninstalled Game, Ubisoft connect, delinked account. Reinstalled everything, relinked account, still no go. Ubisoft Support didn't help. Dealing with this Publisher isn't worth any more of my money or time.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game wont even start. Apparently Ubisoft wont allow games to run on a "virtual machine" whatever that means. This problem or policy for Ubisoft needs to change immediately.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Alastair Crooke, former British diplomat: Iran taking down Starlink changed the game.
unlabelledView post →What, the guy who uses the switch to his Starlink satellite facilities like some kind of volume knob in a game of international musical chairs? I can't think what could possibly go wrong 🤔
unlabelledView post →"Unable to start the game. X Unable to detect Uplay installation. Please make sure Uplay is installed." Do not buy this game. It is currently unplayable. Refund request has been submitted.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Character DLCs locked to Nintendo Switch only. Terrible game too.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hey Ubisoft, I am not running a virtual machine, how the fugg can I play this game??
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cant believe this! I bought the game and the 2 collection packs, a few weeks later I finally have time to play it and I get a giant middle finger when I try to play it. "Sorry, this application cannot be run under a virtual machine". I Run Linux, I have a hardware passed through GPU to a windows VM I do most of my gaming on rendering this game unplayable. First time I I tried to play it was past the 2 week limit to get a refund, just threw away money for an unplayable game. Cant recommend a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →He hasn't cancelled anything yet. This is all performative BS. I'll believe it when Ford ACTUALLY cancels Starlink - not just talks his game talk.
unlabelledView post →I'm having a great time with Starlink. The game is just fun top play, the voice acting is great, and the graphics are solid. So far no game related issues or crashes, so that is a positive these days. The only drawback is that it is quite expensive
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Would not recommend because Ubisoft support is ♥♥♥♥. I bought the Deluxe Edition and yes I got access to more weapons, ships and pilots, but probably for only the first 5 play sessions. Afterwards I no longer had access due to a bug. Ubisoft support pretended to help out at first, but eventually just said they are no longer providing support and just closed my ticket. As a game, this is probably a 7, but I'm not recommending because Ubisoft sux.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Starlink may be the largest player in the satellite Comms game but they aren't the only one. Ukraine should just burn their Starlink terminals and go with a European provider instead.
unlabelledView post →First of all: I love the game and completed it on Switch, Xbox and PS4. But the PC Version is just junk thanks to DRM. Its unplayable, it won´t start ! On Steamdeck i have to use a workaround, but nothing helps on desktop PC and AAAA Ubisoft doesn´t care, and support throws only ChatGPT answers. Steam needs to remove this game from store !
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't bother purchasing. Ubisoft now has a track record of stealing games from their customers so it's only a matter of time before they brick this game without refunding you.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This program is very important at making sure rural areas r served with high speed internet. There r no ends of problems in my area that way. Starlink most certainly does not have it covered. I wouldn't give them 💲 if they were the only game in town I would sooner use smoke signals to communicate
unlabelledView post →So he either admits the Starlink connection sucked, or that he sucks at the game? Win win for everyone
unlabelledView post →DO NOT PAY FOR THIS GAME. Okay, so that is off my chest, here is the why. UBISOFT control your access to the game. Ubisoft control your saves and progress in a cloud. Ubisoft decides, remotely and without any input from the player, what access they (the player) can have to content the player has purchased. They change this at random times. Also - If you have physical craft and have paid for the full digital experience, you cannot mix and match as Ubisoft take away your access to the digital…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Highly underrated game. Has the best parts of No Mans Sky mix with the best parts of StarFox. I believe this only slipped under the radar because of the initial reliance on selling physical toys to play the game. Thankfully that is no longer an obstacle and can be played entirely digital.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game won't even start. Trying to look for help will only lead to them telling you to do the same thing over and over again. They tell you to disable certain things on your computer but that doesn't work. The lazy craps have abandoned this game and refuse to fix it. This game does not work and should not be on the store. One again Ubisoft proves that it deserves the hate it gets.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Do not purchase this game it still has the same error from years ago and they show no support on fixing the issues. The game is unplayable and gives error that are no existent. It gives me the error of "Sorry this cannot run on a virtual machine" I have searched all over the internet and try every fix that I could locate none worked. I am not the only one who has this error this has been going on for over 5 years and they still have not pushed a fix. I should of trusted the reviews but I wanted…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I can't play the game that I paid for. No more Ubisoft for me, ever.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Starlink won't launch because it thinks I'm running a Virtual Machine. Some kind of nonsense involving Denuvo I expect.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the ultimate in a space action game, a perfect mix of No Man's Sky and Starfox like I've seen it described in another review. The high frame rates are breathtaking, the graphics are amazing, the mouse control is fantastic, there's a lot of awesome speed tech, I cannot reccomend this game enough, basically a Ubisoft radio tower game across a solar system but better and a nice cool universe, you don't need the toys at all anymore either. HOWEVER... There are some problems with this game…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is fun but unfortunately now when I try to launch the game a box pops up that says "sorry, this application cannot run under a Virtual Machine" Don't waste your money on this game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Completely piecemeal dishonest DLC and packs and shady practice by the devs, the delux is not the full complete game regardless of being a full 20 dollars more. there is still 70 USD!!!! more of DLC for a few more ships and weapons. ♥♥♥♥ these devs i hope they never work in gaming again.
