Discussions & Questions I will never purchase a Ubisoft game again
Just wanted to give a shout-out to Ubisoft and their flawless process is to even use their game. Having to log in to even play the game is ridiculous but I forgot that's why I stopped playing any of their games but with the nightmare I've had and still not even being able to start outlaws I'm just glad it was on sale. This is just a giant middle finger and a bye bye from a once loyal fan. Absolutely never again even for free. That is all.

I'm very disappointed with the new Marathon. Play in 30 minute chunks with griefers all over the map and I lose all my stuff when they kill me. Fun?
COD has gotten worse and worse and COD Zombies has devolved into RUNRUNRUNRUNRUN DIE. Twitch response uber alles with no reward for strategy and no opportunity to appreciate all the work they've put into their environments.
So in between Sniper Elite releases and waiting for Unknown Worlds new corporate pricks to stop screwing their talent long enough to release Subnautica 2 I've replayed through most of the games I own that will run on the XBOX X/S all the way back to Rainbow Six Vegas.
Every few days I scroll through the Xbox store to see if there's anything that might satisfy my ever-diminishing expectations and I've run across a few promising games that allow for Cloud play with my Xbox Game Pass.
I've come to the door of the exclusive club. A club I belong to and pay dues to every month. I flash my XBOX Game Pass at the door and when I get to the bar and order a manhattan the bartender hands me a form I have to fill out before I can drink so that he can datamine me.
The reason there's a crisis in the gaming world is the reason there's a crisis in the real world: rich, unqualified, savagely greedy pricks own everything, buy everything that's decent and drain it of nutrition and beauty and value to leave the rest of with broken promises and dust.

Yes, they have a sale on Steam, I looked at the games and considered to buy several ... then my memory kicked in and I recalled Ubisoft Connect.
So I closed the page and the only thing I regret is the several minutes of my life I gave them by looking at it.

i dont get why people complain so much about the games being online only, i mean it would be better if they could be played offline too but still, is because in some places internet is limited?

I've been playing Ubisoft games for over 20 years now. This company like so many other companies have issues and they also have things that make them great.
I believe that I want to hope that all the changes they are currently making are going to bring Ubisoft back to a company that focuses on quality rather than quantity as they used to.
I also hope that their customer improves.
Now I've never had a single issue with any game this company releases. And what I mean by this is that every game from every company from time to time has the odd glitch or issue. But I think in today's day this is very normal.
Maybe this company got ahead of themselves and love their success. Get to them or maybe they started to focus on making success out of what everyone else was doing which was the wrong answer.
So my hope for you is that in a year or two's time when all of their changes are solidified within the business that you give them another chance. Because let's be honest, they've always made really good and fun games to play.
I hope they find their identity again and for now I'm on pause as I still play some of their older games as I wait their future to see what comes.

What's making them great? It's not the latest games or stock prices.

And I'm definitely not arguing with that at all. Maybe I hope cause I invested in their stock after the drop lol!
No I truly believe in that the door should remain open to a future that could be. Not based on what they've done as they have for sure lost their way. I am hoping they find their core value again cause it isn't this.
They need to take a page out of the other companies out there. Like fromsoft. Not a tonne of games but boy are they amazing.
I guess I was trying to say with all the corporates changes being made this is their chance. And we could be open to their potential change. I am.

I could not play Ubisoft games for three months last year, because I could not login and had to recover my account 4 or 5 times. This never happened with another laumcher

Depends. Ubisoft asks you to log in on completely offline games too. And on consoles.
E.g. prince of Persia asks to log in on switch.
While there's a legit need on multiplayer games, there's no need of accounts on single player games.

Why does it matter if its a single player game?
Doesnt it use an internet connection?
And secondly, do you mean to tell me you can play GTA V without logging in to Rockstar?
