Games

And just like that, I couldn't be less interested in this game.

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

Why TF does it matter so much if you cheat in a single player game that they have to take such drastic measures to prevent it? In multiplayer, competitive games, I sort of get it, depending on context, but single player games, no way. I mod single player games all the time. It's one of the main reasons I like PC gaming over console. I'd never buy a game that went this far to prevent something that has no effect on them or anyone else.

I love them paying for a denuvo license on a game no one even cares enough about to pirate anyway.

Ubisoft may have given up making entertaining games a long time ago but they still provide me with entertainment.

I already wasn’t going to pay for another Ubisoft game ever again but this is absolutely the final nail in the coffin for me. Fucking atrocious.

This game is already hard to want. Why make it hard to play too?

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

Ubisoft can monitor nothing but my balls.

You know it's bad when you don't want to even pirate the game.

They afraid of me cheating in a singleplayer game? Not that I'm ever going to play it in the first place.

All you have to do to get my money is let me be a pirate, a jedi, a ninja, or a samurai. My inner child can't help themselves.

So how can Ubisoft be so terrible that I have literally not wanted to play their Pirate game, their StarWars game, and now their Ninja/Samurai game!?

Can't they just... Make a "normal game"? One that you install, play and that's it?. Why the fuck do they need to monitor Ram? What the hell?

Can we do something like reporting Denuvo or the kernel anticheats as malware in Windows defender?

A game with a built in system lever logger that could theoretically monitor even your bank transactions should be reported as spyware/malware and users installing it should have to expressly acknowledge / authorise this.

Imagine if they took all that 'piracy prevention' effort (that doesn't really work in the end anyway) and put it towards actually making enjoyable games.

Their trash games ain't even worth to pirate anymore

No, gamer you see, it's really important that you grind these randomly generated kill quests to progress, it's totally not to incentivize you to purchase the exp boost in our cash shop in this single player game, can't have you using cheat engine to ruin your experience.

Search for ubisoft in steams store page, click the gear on the right hand side, click ignore to take out the trash.

There had always been more then one lifetimes worth of stuff to do. Be picky

Next up, they monitor your bank account to warn you that you don't have enough money to purchase all the dlc to fully complete the game.

Yeah, no

Not the version I download

Thankfully there is a very simple, no-effort solution to this: Don't play their trash.

I already don't play their excruciatingly mediocre games and this just reinforces my avoidance is justified.

Also good gods they've been milking this tired franchise for almost 2 decades now.

Hahaa... Keep it.

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

Eyyyyyyy fuck you Ubisoft.

hard pass

That's okay, I was done buying Assassins Creed games anyway.

Oh look another ubisuck game I won't buy
