It always bothered me that Ubisoft sells micro transactions to level up characters in a single player game. Like wtf who is buying this stuff? And why?

Why pay to avoid playing a game?

FYI, for anyone interested in fixing this kind of bs:

there's a program calle WeMod that easily fixes this kind of thing.

it's basically an automated trainer platform that let's you cheat in games with 0 prerequisites, know-how, or effort.

highly recommended for stuff like assassin's creed, far cry, and similar games with bullshit grind.

setting xp/dmg/resources to something like 2 or 3X literally makes the game playable again!

(probably collects a ton of telemetry, which I don't care about on my gaming system...)

I've never heard of this before, but like I might look into it. I expect this will trigger any client side anticheat under moon though

[–] 9bananas@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

not really, highly depends on the game... definitely worth checking beforehand though!

haven't run into any problems so far, but that doesn't mean that it can't trigger anti-cheats
