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

Are they trying to usurp EA as the most reviled or something?
Yeah, no
Makes no difference to me, since I wasn’t interested in playing it anyway
Calling denuvo malware is sort of leaning towards hyperbole (barely), but, holy shit, "monitor ram"? That's literally spyware.

So Ubisoft just sells malware now without the game wrapper. Great.
i don't know how many years ago i got completely bored with the entire AC franchise, but it was long enough that i find this hilarious
AC IV Black Flag was my last one and it was pretty good. It also came out over a decade ago. At what point does it become retro?
I loved the first couple before I stopped playing games entirely for a decade. But I was a console player and didn't have to think about things like this.
Didn’t Helldivers ditch the account linking idea before it even happened?
Yeah, only because we bullied them enough. I don't care about account linking for all-online games though. The minute you add that to single player games I get pissed off.
So the story has ended in origins then
it ended in 3, they've been treading water ever since.
My interest died with Desmond.
yeah... for me I was willing to give black flag a chance to see if they would find a way to make a new series, maybe with a new current day plot, but nah. people seem to dislike the current day portion of those games but to me that was the main interest, along with the mythology...
black flag's current day portion was so goddamn awful, they turned abstergo into a parody of ubisoft? I don't even know what they were thinking... but it was so immersion breaking. completely killed my interest.
pirate stuff was fun, and it still had a nice plot twist near the beginning... but it was clear that the overall story was going nowhere so I just quit playing after that and decided that the series ended with 3.
Writing by committee doesn't tend to produce anything worthwhile.
Will how unfinished and buggy these games are all coming out, I’ll pick them up on sales after they have been finished and their spyware removed.
I forget the last title Ubisoft worked on that I was actually eager to play.
