Why such negative reviews?

Is it just the PC port of the game? I remember playing this back when it released on console and loved it.

Ubisoft is deleting peoples paid for DLC by shutting down their crappy DRM server.

Oh I read about that. I didn't think it affected this game too.

Old games or both new and old? Like Assassin's Creed Valhalla?

- All the Games in this link will be affected by the Shutdown on September 1, 2022:

- And the Always-Online Game Space Junkies will become completely unplayable (A Dead Game)



- Only Ubisoft Mainz, the Developer of Anno 2070 will try do something to keep the Online Services of Anno 2070 playable in some form, but they can't guarantee if that will be successful.

Wow what a dumb move.

This game got off lucky. You loose 2 skins.

Then you have games like Splinter Cell Blacklist where you loose the entire multiplayer xD

Yeah I dont see losing 2 skins as such a big deal. But losing other big dlc and such is the issue.

It do be Ubisoft.

But luckily the only games of theirs post-PS2 that I think are worth owning are Rayman Origins and Legends. Forgotten Sands HD/2008 are ok, and Forgotten Sands Wii will never get ported even though its much better than both.

I wish, sadly unlikely to happen and unless the settlement is that they need to remove the DRM it really doesn't matter.
I dont care if they pay a fine (neither do they), idc if I get some money, I paid for the game expecting to have access to all content which will now no longer work, unless that's fixed and a precedent can be set for the future to scare others from doing such things it there's no winning.

I expect the Sony lawsuit to go nowhere.

It's a whole different experience on the console for sure. Would recommend on the console.
