User blog:Adamhl2000/The Reddit thread that put Ubisoft under fire from accusations of implementing microtransactions.

So earlier this week u/darkheartsmd posted on r/nintendoswitch (https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/9qyzb5/just_dance_2019_stop_asking_my_child_to_subscribe/)

complaining that the game was continually asking for his/her kid to subscribe to Unlimited in order to play Beep Beep I'm A Sheep on Kids Mode. To quote:

''Bought the game for my son (6) because he loves to dance. Was going fine until he tried selecting the song about sheep in the kids mode. Every time it would ask him to subscribe. They need to remove those songs from the list until an adult subscribes in the normal mode. If there is an option to remove them please someone tell me. Thanks''

Needless to say, this launched waves of criticism from like-minded parents towards Ubisoft for encouraging "pester power" and consumerism. To add fuel to the fire, this Reddit thread has been featured in a lot of news articles and forced Ubisoft to issue a public apology. Here I include some of those articles: So, as members of the Just Dance community, let's discuss this whole situation together.
