I stopped buying Ubisoft games years ago. It was around that that time where they forced always-online mode on their single player games.

I stopped playing their games (literally) because I was sure from that point on the user experience is only going to get worse. I thing I was right in that decision.

Oo I think you got out before the custom launcher with it's own BS currency that constantly "lost" your "cd keys" so you couldn't even play singleplayer games you bought on steam huh? Good move. Well played.

It's been so long I wouldn't be surprised to find that they just cancelled my account but all my "keys" were used already and my games just won't work anymore lol .

Meanwhile Black Flag occasionally downloads an update and I'm like "Yeah maybe one day..." Lol

Assassin's creed and Siege ruined ubisoft.

They just stopped trying because they learned they can just milk loyal fans for all eternity.

I stopped when I saw Valhalla didn't have achievements on Steam. To me that represents either extreme pettiness or extreme laziness on their parts and I won't support either.
