Are they trying to usurp EA as the most reviled or something?

[–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 1 month ago

Their strategy has worked, their game isn't even worth the storage space for me to pirate.

[–] Celestus@lemm.ee 11 points 1 month ago

Makes no difference to me, since I wasn’t interested in playing it anyway

Calling denuvo malware is sort of leaning towards hyperbole (barely), but, holy shit, "monitor ram"? That's literally spyware.

It's for a single player game. Who cares if people cheat.

So Ubisoft just sells malware now without the game wrapper. Great.

And they wonder why they are flopping.

i don't know how many years ago i got completely bored with the entire AC franchise, but it was long enough that i find this hilarious

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 6 points 1 month ago

AC IV Black Flag was my last one and it was pretty good. It also came out over a decade ago. At what point does it become retro?

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I loved the first couple before I stopped playing games entirely for a decade. But I was a console player and didn't have to think about things like this.

So the story has ended in origins then

Didn’t Helldivers ditch the account linking idea before it even happened?

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yeah, only because we bullied them enough. I don't care about account linking for all-online games though. The minute you add that to single player games I get pissed off.

Will how unfinished and buggy these games are all coming out, I’ll pick them up on sales after they have been finished and their spyware removed.

I forget the last title Ubisoft worked on that I was actually eager to play.

[–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 month ago

I saw AC Valhalla was on sale and shrugged. I usually would buy a Ubisoft game and around $10-15. But fuck that.

Rather wait until they're bankrupt and someone unfucks their games.
