I have concerns about Ubisofts new Scalar system. The game apparently relies on external resources, so I assume it requires an online connection and for Ubisoft to keep making those resources available, and on top of that it's licensed from Disney.

Basically I'm saying it's technically a game as a service, and once there's a license issue or Ubisoft doesn't care anymore, they could just stop hosting whatever this Scalar service is and I presume your game will be unplayable.

I have yet to truly dig into this and find out for sure, but it's concerning and as much as I love Ubisoft open-world trash, I won't be buying this any time soon. I also now have concerns for the next Far Cry.
