Remove Pyromane in Single player for player who have NOT baught it Please!
Simple as the title says I have NOT bought this over priced Flaming ♥♥♥♥♥cat! but i'm running into them in my Single Player Scorched earth & Center maps, MEANING I've been FORCED to download Paywallwere & I want it GONE OFF MY SYSTEM! as I did NOT authorise that content to be added to my game & I will not as its $11cnd AFTER my provinces Sales tax that's TOO MUCH for a single tame regardless of how op it is.

Additionally I have spoken to a Legal representative & this counts as an invasion of Privacy & I am within my rights to peruse legal action. I'd rather not so please REMOVE this thing for non-paying single player users, I'm not talking disable it in single player I mean REMOVE the Data for it COMPLETELY & give back the free space its taking up.

What did you expect when they listed Bob's whatever in the engram list? ASA is simply an annoying cash grab. It is sad when the original Center map is much better looking than the new one that was just released. There are good reasons more people are playing ASE instead of ASA.

TBF Hawk bob's Tall tales is a multi part DLC with new features to come with each official map & those additions are nice & usable cross maps with the exception of the oasisaur that things basically useless, Unless its able to graze like an equis but it eats trees & not need to be hand fed potted plants.

But the Pyromane is over $10cnd after taxes & its JUST ONE CREATURE thats at most worth $2cnd after taxes & they auto added it to all maps with a Lava region (confirmed they're NOT in the volcano crater) so Snail games basically just added Ransomeware to the game as they give you the creature for free but to use its data you gotta pay?

at Least Funcom with Conan Exiles has the decency with its cosmetic DLC's to let you see & use it on servers but for SP you still gotta download it after purchase.

Cyrax you also bring out a good point Why do we get a Flaming cat for pride month? I took a quick jaunt on official servers & seen 36 Pyromanes named after various std's... & we got that tame forced into our games in pride month... did the dev's NOT THINK about that message?

Though in all seriousness I'm not against the tame I'm against Forced install of a PAID CREATURE! if I don't pay the cash I should NEVER SEE IT in MY SP Games.

That's my gripe & I want this Ransomware Pyromane off my system.

If you're playing on offical servers deal with it , in order for the game to work right while everyone is on the same server it has to be there for everyone lol...stop being a karen.

CrazedTrucker go read the original post it CLEARLY stats SP as in Single Player & for those who've NOT purchased this blatant cash-grab/ransomware

You bought the game. Remove it yourself. Nobody is going to do it for you and your legal action is laughable.

lmfao YOUR game? do you not realize that the copy of windows you are running and most of these games, you arent BUYING them. You are purchasing the right to use it. They can add whatever the hell they want to the game files, and you have no say whatsoever.

That being said, the above person who posted the INI change is 100% correct.

By Canadian consumer code its illegal to sell digital access therefore since there is a download I OWN that Data once its on MY PC and can be accessed by me. Since I'm able to use Steam & other digital store & they've not been blocked by the Canadian government then YES I OWN the Data I've purchased why is this a difficult concept to understand ownership.
You are renting the licence to play the game. You do not own the IP/studio therefore they can do anything they want regardless of your feelings.

If you feel this bad about a dino being in the game that you so desperately want off your system there's an uninstall button. Feel free to click it anytime but don't forget to wipe the PC and cloud saves.

BTW those Terms and services you agreed to before you played the game, you agreed to all this.
Now if I was you I'd go back to that "legal firm" and ask for my money back because they Bullshitted you all the way to the bank. (Because getting legal advice is not free) Or more likely you lied trying to act all edgy on the interwebs, so maybe stop crying and pay the small amount of $11 or don't, no one really cares.

Let me Explain to ALL you people saying I'm "Renting" the game I BAUGHT. I payed the full price for ARK & I don't have to return it there for I OWN the COPY of the Data that is on MY PC.

Renting involve returning the rented product at the end of the rental period.

as for Licencing I've NOT signed nor been informed of a Licencing agreement or Status.

there fore with NONE of the above conditions met I OWN a COPY of this game NOT a limited use returnable product or have a legally binding agreement of LIMITED usage or Licence.

Get your terms straight people.

Lastly IF I was Capable of PERMANENTLY DELETING the Pyromane Data from my copy I'd do it in a heartbeat but right now there's no one offering THOSE instructions to do so safely & still be able to connect to private servers that do have them, for those that did buy it in countries where they are affordable, but right now there's only the method to disable them from spawning problem being STILL that they pre-loaded a substantial amount of data & partially locked it behind a paywall the VERY definition of Ransomware as its tieing up space on my SSD without my exspress consent of Purchase.

Get THAT through your heads people I did NOT buy it I should NOT be seeing it in my SINGLE PLAYER GAMES yet I am & I want it gone not disabled DELETED!

Torkkar - the same thing is true for Bob's (whatever) and the horridly done Center map. At least as far as I know.
