I have spent time and money on AC. Since September, if he wants to play DLC, I have to pirate the games. Why Ubisoft encourages piracy? What is the point of buying their games? Why don't Ubisoft create offline patch?

@perun29 Agreed,how do they belive its okay to take away dlcs we've bought it outrageous, just do your self a favour ubisoft and release ac 2 - ac syndicate drm free with all dlcs on gog and keep your bloated ac origin to valhalla.

@perun29 because many will still subscribe to their live services (since you clearly don't OWN the game you paid for..) and buy their NFT-infused crap, that's why. They left Steam to earn more (they didn't like the split), and what do they do with these extra bucks ? Do they use it to preserve their legacy or honor their employees who worked their asses off making dlc-s they are about to flush down the toilet ? No, they use it to make shareholders happy and give their finances a facelift in hope for a better buyout offer from some investment fund.
14000-people strong company making billions of dollars annually cannot afford to keep their older titles alive or prepare a proper offline patch unlocking all DLC-s and in-game cosmetics for people to enjoy. How sad.
Truth is - nobody holds them accountable for anything, so why should they care ? People complain about microtransactions and the Animus Store but they keep wasting money on unicorns so their Eivor can ride in style. I get the impression that I'm the only one who haven't bought any Ubisoft game since they left Steam..

@perun29 They are basically begging players to pirate their games, AC 4 Black Flag stops on 99% for me when I download it and I have received NO help at all for 4 days. Do I really have to go to the ODR for this?

@perun29 It's atrocious. When a games company makes the games you can buy from them worse than the version you can pirate, they are asking people to pirate their games - including their new ones. Why would you pay for something from a company that has a track record of stealing from you? Why would you ever feel guilty about stealing from that company?

I liked Ubisoft games, especially Assassin's Creed. I would like to keep supporting them and that franchise. I can't, however, justify doing any more knowing that they stole from me and they will probably eventually steal anything I buy from them in the future.

@perun29
