"The Sky Breaker DLC must be owned..." Wait a minute. According to Ubisoft, we don't own the games we buy, let alone DLCs. So, making it mandatory to play a game makes even less sense.
They redefine "ownership" and "purchase" in the EULA you have to sign to buy. They just newspeak the words to meaning the opposite of what they actually do.
If they have the balls to argue "well it's like how you can't drive your car until you pay for more fuel", no no no......this is like not being able to drive your car until you are forced to buy an engine upgrade.
This is more like, you buy a car, them the manufacturer snuck into your house, changed something in it without being asked (which wasn't even part of your "base" car, like a fancy extra like seat heater), and changed the locks in the process, demanding to to pay them more money for their work.
Funny enough, it's exactly like how HOA work when they slap a lein on your house for not paying their fee when your hedges are less than 2.334 inches below your shutters.
It's nothing like that at all, because video games already require fuel which we are already paying the electric company for. You do not pay the car manufacturer for fuel. If the car manufacturer forces an update to your car software they do not get to hold your car for ransom.
Once you purchase art, it should be law that you get to keep it. The licensing shouldnt matter to access if you PAID for it. This goes for Movies, Videogames, Music, etc. The fact that this isnt law already is disgusting.
To be fair, this is the first period of time in history where a company can easily take back their products or can modify those products, both without the customer's consent. And we all know how slow governments are to new technology.
Closing tickets is a customer service move. Upper management freaking out over all the open tickets and blaming the support team of not doing their job. Mid-management figures all the open tickets look bad so they just close them since the dev team knows about it. Dev team sees all the tickets getting closed so assumes it's fixed. Upper management sees closed tickets and they're happy.
customer service tickets are not accessible on dev team side. there are middlemanagers that need to transfer the info to dev team (usually it's the first layer of possible issues) beside complaining loudly on either side to get info/updates, there's not always great traction to keep both synced properly (customer service don't have access on how it's managed/prioritized on dev side either). it's often messy and stuff get into limbo unless there's a public uproar.
It’s not only upper management. It looks better for everyone’s career if they close tickets quickly and they will cite those statistics in their resume lmao
Which is why I never accept tickets being closed prematurely at work. If there's good reason for the ticket to remain open, it's defended. If not, look into what the bottleneck is.
@@SageOfLimitlessHands Yeah when the DLC launched people who didn't own some of the special edition and/or preorder DLC couldn't load saves. It was fixed soon though.

This is a huge class action lawsuit in the making. Yes, I'm aware that it is a fairly small amount to buy the DLC, but consider the number of customers that are affected, and you only need 40 plaintiffs for a class action lawsuit.

@@expERiMENTik_gaming I think these companies are getting a bit over their own heads with these ideas that legal actions can be waived because there was some bogus "agreement".

8:57 this is what happened with Helldivers II. Socials didn’t work, friends were blocked for no reason, couldn’t play with my friends. They just kept closing the ticket.

The all time peak for the Steam version is 1,117 players, those are abysmal numbers, so at least people were trying to not buy it, even though I've heard it wasn't a bad game but Ubisoft needs to learn somehow; still got a feeling that something must be brewing in the back since they don't give a damn at what they do with their practices and seems to get away with it.
The best timeline is the one where Ubislop gets gutted and a better company gets all of the IPs like Splinter Cell, Prince Of Persia and The Division and we get bangers.
That's all we can really hope for in general when it comes to wasted IPs, whether they're ones that aren't utilized at all, or ones that are 6 feet under due to the poor decision making of their holders, such as with Dragon Age recently.
ubisoft pushed an update on october 29th that fixed the bug. while it's fixed now, it took them unreasonably long to fix it and in the meantime they did not offer a workaround.
Thats not a bug, it was a feature forcing people to buy more Ubishit. Someone had to write the text for that message, it is not something that comes out of thin air.
Funny that people trusted that this was just a bug when it happened for 4 months until they fixed it. It was a very serious bug that locked people out of their saves yet such a big company took 4 months to fix it.
Back in 2009ish I was playing a Heroes of might and magic game and had to reach out to Ubisoft for support regarding a transaction issue. I had a very friendly experience with a polite staff member and they helped me resolve the issue. That guy probably is long gone but I hope he's got a better job and is paying more cause he was downright super helpful. Current day ubisoft is such a parasitic joke.
@@friendlygiant1507 Believe it or not there was a time when even amazon had decent CSR. I was able to hold a conversation with someone about the Nintendo switch when it was coming out in fluid English. and they confirmed my pre-order questions. Its a darn shame how everything is outsourced now.

@@thecursed01 , for me, it was BF3 some 15-18 years ago. I remember installing the game, spending 90 minutes in the dumb aas skeleton of a launcher, finally getting the game to launch, the game being a blundering mess...

they fired everyone after the dlc and then realized a major bug existed and were like "oh oops can we get that one guy back in here please? no? he has another job already? oh, ok then shit..."
I remember the ps1 era where you buy a game from local merchant at the marketplace on Saturday morning and that's it, there was no patches or updates if the game doesn't work, that's it. Literally every single game worked pretty much forever, no bugs or crashes/performance issues. The only time the game is unplayable is if you scratch the disk...
Thing is before online services you only got one chance to ship a game out and make sure it's stable with minimal bugs that's it. Granted there is exceptions like gta San Andreas with the hot coffee bug, but in general back in the day you got one shot that's it.
The best time was 2000 - 2010 when you would download patches from trusted 3rd party sites. You would have the quality of the old days but also have the fixes of the new days.
That time was never. There have been translation errors and gamebreaking bugs in FF7. The turtles nes was impossible to beat due to one jump. Daggerfall on PC was so buggy that its completely possible to get softlocked to this day if you enter a generated cave without an exit.
2:55 I agree with Asmond so much in this. I swear, when I saw the Pandora footage, I double checked to see when this was uploaded. I was like “Nobody still plays this right? I forgot this game existed. Nobody has talked about it for months despite Ubisoft news going the rounds every week. Ffs Price of Persia is talked about more often.” I was so surprised seeing this game being brought up for any reason but I suppose if that Ubislop was to resurface, it’s appropriate that it’s due to Ubisoft doing something stupid with it.
Because the Prince of Persia had good games. Granted it was nearly 20 years ago, but it still lives in memory. Less than 2k all time peak players is grim af for AAA game studio.
@@drawgam2946 Yeah, The Forgotten Sands came out in 2010, but it didn't really have the impact that the Sands of Time trilogy did. And the Sands of Time trilogy that most people will remember is 20 years old (Sands of Time 2003, Warrior Within 2004, Two Thrones 2005).
@kukuc96 If Ubisoft wants an easy win release a remastered triple bundle of the sands of time trilogy with updated visuals and maybe the odd new thing. That being said I pretty sure current Ubisoft would find someway to mess it up and piss us off.
I completely stopped supporting AAA companies and will remain this way until they start providing complete transparency and actually valuing their player bases. The only way to fight greed is to never give them your money.
Civ VI became unplayable if you didn't buy all the DLCs. Core functionality of the base game stopped working without the latest paid content. You could still play the game, you just couldn't build districts.
@@Setanta1913 This describes every Paradox grand strategy game. I'm pretty sure with EU4 they outright said on their forums that they don't even test the game without having all DLC. So if you experience a bug because you don't have a DLC, you should expect that and just buy the DLC to fix it. Paradox is actually really similar to Ubisoft - a company that must hate its customers. One of their lead developers also posted on the forums that they don't care about people playing single player because they consider EU4 to be multiplayer only. Because they only play multiplayer in the office. This was after a survey on the forums where about 80% of players said they have only ever played single player. I stopped buying all Paradox games years ago. I wish there were more companies making grand strategy type games, Paradox just can't be trusted

It's no wonder why they were ground zero for the absolute travesty that is Sweet Baby Inc. Seems like the apple does not fall far from the tree indeed.
The biggest surprise of all to me is that it is 2024, and people are legitimately acting like Ubisoft only recently came off the rails. They've been screwed for 10 years, releasing copy paste games one after the other.
Remember when Ubisoft was known for some of the most popular video games that was considered mainstream? (Rainbow Six, Assasins Creed, etc.) now they can’t even get people to buy into most of their games. 1000 players all time peak is insane.
EA did this in one of the PGA Masters games. You had to BUY the DLC to play the full tour. They only included half the courses. The kicker was if you did the tour the PC got to play them and you had to skip unless you bought. I have not bought an EA game since.... Stop buying there crap. This was 2012.
I finished playing the base game before the dlc released. Now you are telling me I can't go back and replay my own game I bought without having to pay them even more money? I bet other gaming companies are taking notice of this and will make this a feature in their games too if we let them get away with it.
It isn't required to play the base game the update breaks existing save files which isn't that uncommon especially if you have played a paradox game every patch breaks all of your save files. This is usually the case when the dlc alters game systems. This really isn't that big of a deal it is just that ubisoft is handling it poorly likely for lack of caring since it is a dead game and robots doing all of their customer service.
The difference is that in a paradox game or all/most other games, you can just rightclick the game on steam-->properties and choose to revert to a earlier version of the game (preupdate) and continue to play your old savefile. On the other hand what ubisoft did here is just releasing ransomware for their own game trying to force the 200 players still playing that shit to pay to be able to continue playing.
@@joshsparks7303 yeah sure but the game do not lock you out of playing the other part because you dont have the last dlc, its like saying in ff14 i cant play stormblood because i dont have dawntrail
Ubisoft has corrupted my saves multiple times personally, this has been happening for years, and is exactly why I don't buy their games and immediately ignore them in Steam. They'll also completely delete your account (meaning all the games you bought are gone forever) if you don't login once every year or 2 I can't remember the exact time limit, it's total bs. They are absolute scumbags.
Yeah I was surprised they didn't delete my ghost recon wild lands since I hadn't played it in awhile. I'm glad tho since that's the only decent game they have made.
While Ubisoft is fucking bad company but the 2 years delete account one actually only applied to account that never connect to or own any games at all.

@@domehammer were they? I haven't watched the second movie but in the first one I remember the humans were colonizing and gunning down the indigenous people of the planet just for the resources.
I admit, I've wanted a human campaign for a while. One where you have to clear areas for the construction and defense or new bases, and have a commander mode (this would be late in the game when the player is a high enough rank) allowing the co-ordination of many attacks on the Na'vi with soldiers, mechs, and air support. You'll also be able to take part in these battles as a pilot, or a soldier on the ground. This would be a battle of attrition, as the Na'vi tribes could also attack your own bases, and if you're unable to successfully defend it, you'll be able to go through the ruins of it. The player won't be the only one in command as there will be other npcs that can control the military with competence as well.
There could even been more nuance by portraying the Navi reacting how real life tribes did. Some were immediately hostile, some were completely peaceful, others were at war with each, some sided with the spanish and some even worshipped the Spanish if you made both sides more gray it would have been better. Then added in playable humans, all together would have been amazing. The avatar series is very black and white in its message and it shouldn't be.
Ok and EA and Blizzard, American companies, are any better because they're not French? How long have EA been at the forefront of screwing up video gaming in general compared to Ubisoft? How long have Blizzard been actively destroying their own franchises and treating their own employees like shit. But oh yeah, they're not French so they're better, ok.

Any industry dependent on instant gratification is doomed to "prematurely" fail. Gamers deserves everything that is going on. You brought this on yourselves. All. Of. It.
You can play as the humans in the old avatar game and yes, you can use the mechs. The game was actually fire, but it wasn't that well received which is really unfortunate because I loved the old Avatar game. It was on Xbox 360 and ps3. Far as I know, it is only on those systems. If you are looking for a great older game that may have flown under your radar years ago, I highly recommend the old Avatar video game. Early in the game, you are given the choice to side with humans or Navi. I recommend siding with the humans for the first playthrough. I don't know why people didn't like the game. Maybe it's because back then, games that were based on movies were perceived to be low quality but the game is good. No micro transactions and bullshit, just destruction and death in the jungles of Pandora. It's a blast.
@@kaka09876543210I didn't know it was on PC. I bet that it's a big improvement because even though I liked the game, it did have some technical issues on the Xbox 360. Especially during the larger scale battles.
According to the OP on reddit, Ubisoft told him "They said I accepted an invitation to the first Sky Breaker mission which locked me out of the main game and now I have to buy the DLC in order to play the game. Only other option is starting a new game." So, the base game isn't locked, just your save file that you spent hours on. This was 4 months ago and as far as I can tell there still is no fix. You either buy the DLC or start a new game...Typical greedy Ubisoft doing all they can to make their games terrible...
The Ubisoft connect thing stopping it from even launching, forcing Zach to make the right decision and close it out, and then promptly start rambling, was absolute cinema.
so other company's put a notice on their DLC stating "you cant play the DLC without buying the base game" and UbiSoft thought, "wait! a new opportunity to theoretically get more money provided we do something dumb first... its perfect!".
Yeah, at this point, I don't care. If you decide to buy a Ubisoft game, a Blizzard game, an EA game, etc, then you get what you deserve. Every time, a trailer comes out and looks vaguely interesting, people scramble to buy it and then complain when it turns out that they got scammed. That is entirely your own damn fault. The companies can only get away with what you financially support.
9:50 um.. no.. The Golden Age of video games started about 1990 and ended around 2008. After that video games started dropping in quality. Saying it ended in 2015 is FAAAR to generous and forgiving.
22:00 I agree.. But the store page does indicate that it requires a 3rd-party account. I always look at that section on a games store page before i get it and if it required a 3rd-party account. I dont bother getting it.
GTA V, Witcher 3, Bloodborne, MSGV, Dying light, The Last of Us, Metro Last Light, AC Black Flag, Mass Effect 3, Far Cry 3 It was alright up to 2015 man
It really depends on how you define "quality". I didn't get into gaming until 2013, and I kinda want to agree with asmon, but I would argue it lasted until 2017-18. I think you're comparing games to previous games, which is like comparing a movie to the book, its just a poor way of judging quality. Judging the quality from a more unbiased perspective is better.
That's one way to look at it. But there are still a lot of great games that came out post 2008. One Im playing right now is Everspace which came out in 2017. Very much like Freelancer.
For real though I'm not sure what happened to this company man, they used to be cool around a decade ago. Sure, they had some controversies, some mediocre games, but overall they were basically average with a good game coming out from under them every now and then. Now they seemingly can't move two steps without a blunder, and I don't see the exact point when things got so bad.
Bungie did this during Destiny 1 with DLC they released that locked game modes that previously existed behind the new DLC paywall. Not surprising Ubisoft does similar.
but you could still play the base game. This as far as I can tell locks the base game. Okay so looking at the entire video: there is an invitation to a quest and that locks the game... However why would you be invited and be able to accept a quest when you don't have the DLC? Isn't that just business 101 make the extra area either inaccessable or just not appear. As in have two updates. a DLC included update and a non DLC update? that is what Fallout 4 had. If you didn't have X DLC the quest and even special entry was walled off or inactive?
It pisses me off Ubisoft bought my favorite game series (Anno) and is probably going to f up the next title that is now fully developed under their guidance. Fuck all of it.
I remember getting Warcraft 1 for 20$ back in the day (parents picked it up). It was a DOS game. At that time people commonly ran Windows 3.1, maybe 3.11. At this time Windows was just an interface that ran on top of DOS. So you'd install the game and run it inside Windows. I believe it corrupted the operating system because the computer didn't boot after it black screened (this was when i was little and not much of a tech nerd). It did say on the Box or manual, Windows 3.1/3.11 not supported. Still an amazing game for its time but when it could fuck up your computer for having a commonly used operating system... well that was the 90's for you. Note: Another common practice in the later years of DOS was to copy the DOS operating system to a floppy disk and boot from your floppy to free up as much ram as possible (sort of like booting in safe mode, loading only the essentials). On older computers this was the only way to play newer DOS games.

beside complaining loudly on either side to get info/updates, there's not always great traction to keep both synced properly (customer service don't have access on how it's managed/prioritized on dev side either). it's often messy and stuff get into limbo unless there's a public uproar.
It’s not only upper management. It looks better for everyone’s career if they close tickets quickly and they will cite those statistics in their resume lmao
Which is why I never accept tickets being closed prematurely at work. If there's good reason for the ticket to remain open, it's defended. If not, look into what the bottleneck is.

The all time peak for the Steam version is 1,117 players, those are abysmal numbers, so at least people were trying to not buy it, even though I've heard it wasn't a bad game but Ubisoft needs to learn somehow; still got a feeling that something must be brewing in the back since they don't give a damn at what they do with their practices and seems to get away with it.
The best timeline is the one where Ubislop gets gutted and a better company gets all of the IPs like Splinter Cell, Prince Of Persia and The Division and we get bangers.
That's all we can really hope for in general when it comes to wasted IPs, whether they're ones that aren't utilized at all, or ones that are 6 feet under due to the poor decision making of their holders, such as with Dragon Age recently.

If Ubisoft was a restaurant, they would sell the food unseasoned and sell you the seasoning as DLC
After this, they would sell you the food, and then tell you you can't eat it until you pay for the "consumption enabling dlc"
And the unseasoned food is brought to you in a locked safe, only get the code after you buy some salt
To be fair, restaurants do do that, they're just 'extra toppings' or similar.
that's already a thing, everything is extra salted to kingdom come, plus light and temperature, so you have to get more drinks.

I remember the ps1 era where you buy a game from local merchant at the marketplace on Saturday morning and that's it, there was no patches or updates if the game doesn't work, that's it. Literally every single game worked pretty much forever, no bugs or crashes/performance issues. The only time the game is unplayable is if you scratch the disk...
The good old days man...
Thing is before online services you only got one chance to ship a game out and make sure it's stable with minimal bugs that's it. Granted there is exceptions like gta San Andreas with the hot coffee bug, but in general back in the day you got one shot that's it.
The best time was 2000 - 2010 when you would download patches from trusted 3rd party sites. You would have the quality of the old days but also have the fixes of the new days.
Greed is a MF !

I forgot this game existed. Nobody has talked about it for months despite Ubisoft news going the rounds every week. Ffs Price of Persia is talked about more often.” I was so surprised seeing this game being brought up for any reason but I suppose if that Ubislop was to resurface, it’s appropriate that it’s due to Ubisoft doing something stupid with it.
Because the Prince of Persia had good games. Granted it was nearly 20 years ago, but it still lives in memory. Less than 2k all time peak players is grim af for AAA game studio.

Paradox is actually really similar to Ubisoft - a company that must hate its customers. One of their lead developers also posted on the forums that they don't care about people playing single player because they consider EU4 to be multiplayer only. Because they only play multiplayer in the office. This was after a survey on the forums where about 80% of players said they have only ever played single player.

EA did this in one of the PGA Masters games. You had to BUY the DLC to play the full tour. They only included half the courses. The kicker was if you did the tour the PC got to play them and you had to skip unless you bought. I have not bought an EA game since.... Stop buying there crap. This was 2012.
I finished playing the base game before the dlc released. Now you are telling me I can't go back and replay my own game I bought without having to pay them even more money?

Big studio games, yes, somewhat. But there are still plenty of great indie and enough big studio games.
It isn't required to play the base game the update breaks existing save files which isn't that uncommon especially if you have played a paradox game every patch breaks all of your save files. This is usually the case when the dlc alters game systems. This really isn't that big of a deal it is just that ubisoft is handling it poorly likely for lack of caring since it is a dead game and robots doing all of their customer service.
The difference is that in a paradox game or all/most other games, you can just rightclick the game on steam-->properties and choose to revert to a earlier version of the game (preupdate) and continue to play your old savefile. On the other hand what ubisoft did here is just releasing ransomware for their own game trying to force the 200 players still playing that shit to pay to be able to continue playing.

I admit, I've wanted a human campaign for a while. One where you have to clear areas for the construction and defense or new bases, and have a commander mode (this would be late in the game when the player is a high enough rank) allowing the co-ordination of many attacks on the Na'vi with soldiers, mechs, and air support. You'll also be able to take part in these battles as a pilot, or a soldier on the ground.
This would be a battle of attrition, as the Na'vi tribes could also attack your own bases, and if you're unable to successfully defend it, you'll be able to go through the ruins of it.
The player won't be the only one in command as there will be other npcs that can control the military with competence as well.
You were close with the other avatar game but no dice with this
The first game is like this. Where you can be a human in the campaign and take over the world.
There could even been more nuance by portraying the Navi reacting how real life tribes did. Some were immediately hostile, some were completely peaceful, others were at war with each, some sided with the spanish and some even worshipped the Spanish if you made both sides more gray it would have been better. Then added in playable humans, all together would have been amazing. The avatar series is very black and white in its message and it shouldn't be.

You can play as the humans in the old avatar game and yes, you can use the mechs.

If you are looking for a great older game that may have flown under your radar years ago, I highly recommend the old Avatar video game. Early in the game, you are given the choice to side with humans or Navi. I recommend siding with the humans for the first playthrough. I don't know why people didn't like the game. Maybe it's because back then, games that were based on movies were perceived to be low quality but the game is good.

According to the OP on reddit, Ubisoft told him "They said I accepted an invitation to the first Sky Breaker mission which locked me out of the main game and now I have to buy the DLC in order to play the game. Only other option is starting a new game."
So, the base game isn't locked, just your save file that you spent hours on. This was 4 months ago and as far as I can tell there still is no fix. You either buy the DLC or start a new game...Typical greedy Ubisoft doing all they can to make their games terrible...
Yup, a scam..100%
The Ubisoft connect thing stopping it from even launching, forcing Zach to make the right decision and close it out, and then promptly start rambling, was absolute cinema.
so other company's put a notice on their DLC stating "you cant play the DLC without buying the base game" and UbiSoft thought, "wait! a new opportunity to theoretically get more money provided we do something dumb first... its perfect!".
It took Ubisoft 8 months to fix multiplayer co-op for AC: Unity. By that point I didn’t care enough to play the game.
Here in Brazil, this is literally a crime against the consumer. We called it "venda casada" that is tied sell.
Ubisoft showing customers they truly don't own their games.
There is no bottom line for ubisoft, they will keep digging their own grave.
I still dont understand why people still playing ubisoft game
Yeah, at this point, I don't care. If you decide to buy a Ubisoft game, a Blizzard game, an EA game, etc, then you get what you deserve. Every time, a trailer comes out and looks vaguely interesting, people scramble to buy it and then complain when it turns out that they got scammed. That is entirely your own damn fault. The companies can only get away with what you financially support.
Im not surprised. They legit took a game out of people's libraries because they shut the game down.
Ubisoft goes Steamworks bye bye, always on DRM
Never thought assassins creed would assasinate ubisoft
21:36 lmfao he will have to make a Ubisoft account for assassins creed 😂😂😂😂😂
Will stop as soon as mass lawsuits start
9:50 um.. no.. The Golden Age of video games started about 1990 and ended around 2008. After that video games started dropping in quality. Saying it ended in 2015 is FAAAR to generous and forgiving.
22:00 I agree.. But the store page does indicate that it requires a 3rd-party account. I always look at that section on a games store page before i get it and if it required a 3rd-party account. I dont bother getting it.
GTA V, Witcher 3, Bloodborne, MSGV, Dying light, The Last of Us, Metro Last Light, AC Black Flag, Mass Effect 3, Far Cry 3
It was alright up to 2015 man
It really depends on how you define "quality". I didn't get into gaming until 2013, and I kinda want to agree with asmon, but I would argue it lasted until 2017-18.
I think you're comparing games to previous games, which is like comparing a movie to the book, its just a poor way of judging quality. Judging the quality from a more unbiased perspective is better.
What about the NES?
That's one way to look at it. But there are still a lot of great games that came out post 2008. One Im playing right now is Everspace which came out in 2017. Very much like Freelancer.
Old Ubisoft from 2009-12 looking at 2024 Ubisoft going what the hell happen, what the hell is this thing theres no way its me.
For real though I'm not sure what happened to this company man, they used to be cool around a decade ago. Sure, they had some controversies, some mediocre games, but overall they were basically average with a good game coming out from under them every now and then. Now they seemingly can't move two steps without a blunder, and I don't see the exact point when things got so bad.
You got to go before 2009 to find the good Ubisoft. It was in 2009 they started their garbage uplay nonsense.
Ubisoft in 2024 looks down in front of a mirror.
Ah that's why...
No one would miss Ubislop once they bankrupt.
weeeeell, Deus EX was 1999 and Sin that came out before HL was the first with head shot damage(SoF was 2000)
Bungie did this during Destiny 1 with DLC they released that locked game modes that previously existed behind the new DLC paywall. Not surprising Ubisoft does similar.
but you could still play the base game. This as far as I can tell locks the base game.
Okay so looking at the entire video: there is an invitation to a quest and that locks the game... However why would you be invited and be able to accept a quest when you don't have the DLC? Isn't that just business 101 make the extra area either inaccessable or just not appear.
As in have two updates. a DLC included update and a non DLC update? that is what Fallout 4 had. If you didn't have X DLC the quest and even special entry was walled off or inactive?
Destiny 1 only locked multiplayer modes behind dlc. Still scummy, but fundamentally a different thing than locking your single player game file.
Messing with players' save files is stealing hours from people's lives and it's totally unacceptable.
It pisses me off Ubisoft bought my favorite game series (Anno) and is probably going to f up the next title that is now fully developed under their guidance. Fuck all of it.
womp womp
Ubi killed my favorite game World In Conflict. All hope is lost when ubi bought a game or a company
I remember getting Warcraft 1 for 20$ back in the day (parents picked it up). It was a DOS game. At that time people commonly ran Windows 3.1, maybe 3.11. At this time Windows was just an interface that ran on top of DOS. So you'd install the game and run it inside Windows.
I believe it corrupted the operating system because the computer didn't boot after it black screened (this was when i was little and not much of a tech nerd). It did say on the Box or manual, Windows 3.1/3.11 not supported.
Still an amazing game for its time but when it could fuck up your computer for having a commonly used operating system... well that was the 90's for you.
Note: Another common practice in the later years of DOS was to copy the DOS operating system to a floppy disk and boot from your floppy to free up as much ram as possible (sort of like booting in safe mode, loading only the essentials). On older computers this was the only way to play newer DOS games.
I’ve hated Ubisoft since they made Sam Fisher into Jason Borne.
Sam fisher is better then bourne

Damn right he is. But I still love the Bourne films.
Ubisoft losing so much money they gotta commit fraud against players.
5:31 I would say this if it was last week. This is 4 months. They know and aren't changing it because its what they wanted. 😂
Ubisoft "we already dig our grave the past 10 years. Time to officially bury ourselves"
