I hate it when games are on different platforms but steam just runs it in background i only see it synchronising savedata after exiting, besides if you like a game you wont play it because of mild non existing problem?! I swear you sweet little snowflakes nowadays make problem out of everything.... both lvl 0 trolls you put more effort into posting this than launching demo, like ubi is gonna scrap its launcher because of steam "forums" post.

I just downloaded and installed the demo. Then I was presented with the Ubisoft sign in screen. I am now uninstalling the demo and will not, under any circumstances, buy the game.

I was excited to try the demo, but I saw the account log in page. Uninstall as I don't want to create another account when playing a steam game.

You all act this is new. Every Ubisoft game has been like this for years. Get over it.

not just forum posts but an “uproar” in the gaming industry as a whole (sony dropped the 3rd party stuff, because people spoke up and the peak of this uproar currently is the “stop destroying games” initiative. people are fed up with anti consumer behavior and the current state of gaming. and then there is you, corporate bootlickers that take everything down their throats and thank them for it. you are part of the problem. you enabling everything by accepting even the “small” things. and to be clear, doubling the chance for someone not to be able to play a game, because you need another account/launcher, is not a “small problem” and eroding ownership with these little things is neither.

lets not forget that they tried this and didn’t follow through, because of the backlash that they faced after the announcement.

But in this case it's Ubisofts own launcher and Steam is the 3rd party stuff. At the moment it's very simple, if you want to play a game from Ubisoft, you have to use their launcher/platform. If you ever played any Ubisoft game on PC you would have known it. That's why a lot of people can't hear it anymore that some newbies who never ever played any Ubisoft game complain about something so obvious and old. And that is entirely objective and has nothing to do with what I personally might think about it.

no? ubisoft becomes the 3rd party because i chose to buy the game on steam.

it’s not just sony dropping this practice.
2k, blizzard even ea somewhat stopped asking for account/launcher requirements.

again a fuse popped recently. people are fed up with the anti-consumerism.

at the moment and even after that it’s very simple. you see anything anti-consumer = no buy. you’ll see how fast they will drop any attempt, when you can just say “no”. you hold the money and therefore the power.

and please stop the friendly fire.

Removed from my wishlist

As long as the Ubisoft launcher is mandatory, the game might as well not exist.

thats the spirit. the best thing we can do is not buying and communicating the reasons. there is a lot of good game studios out there, but also indies that don’t treat their customer or dev like crap. buy from those instead.

even EA is stepping back. i obviously don’t have a lot of insights but i can observe. and it looks like EA gives hazelight a lot of free reign. their newest game splitfiction (97% overwhelmingy positiv all time reviews btw) doesn’t need the launcher nor does it need an account. only if you playing online coop you will need an EA account. and that’s probably because they don’t have a better system in place for now, where you could just make a gamebased account. and hazelight also removed the launcher requirements from previous games. for example “it takes two” (95% overwhelmingly positive).

look at the feedback over 20k upvotes. it’s not a “small” issue.

That Ubiwoke launcher is horrible.

best thing is, i can't even start the game. the ubisoft launcher does not properly start and i cant play the game. Good advertisement of the final product :D

I mean, I get why everyone doesn't like having to connect to ubisoft but come on now, we all know every single ubisoft game does this. This is how it's been for years now. I don't know why people are suprised.

no one is surprised, it’s just that they finally decided to speak up. i think ubisoft killing the game “the crew” popped a fuse, which resulted in a movement fighting anti consumerism. everyone accepted it in the beginning, because it was supposedly a “small” thing, until a lot of people realized what consequences resulted in that submission. thats one of the reasons another would be the implementation of kernel level anti cheats. and we now exactly that this is not because they wanna do something against cheaters or maybe it could be but they also wanna reap all the data. data is the new gold in this day and age, especially with ai being on the rise. and a lot of other reasons that piled up.

it is ridiculous that people accepted it in the first place. imagine you have an amazon account and with every companies product you buy on amazon you have to have another account from said company otherwise you can’t buy it/use it. and with the 3rd party account requirement comes a lot of other issues, including that they decide you need to log in every month otherwise they will deactivate your account and render the product that you bought into paperweight.

the thing is, there is a much bigger thing coming because people didn’t speak up. subscription based releases only. “you will own nothing and you will be happy” - microsoft pushing this model hard with their gamepass.

we need to stop consuming blindly. boycott the product, if you see anti-consumer behavior, be it small or big. that’s the only thing that will work 100%. either they stop doing the anti-consumerism or they go out of business because no one buys the product.
