Remove online requirement for multiplayer...

[SquidNeko]

Stop forcing the match making to be online for me to play multiplayer. I wanna play with my friend even if your servers go offline. That should not need me to connect to your servers...

Yeah, would be really nice.
Unfortunately it's a game published by Ubiscum, so it seems to be normal.

Wont happen, mainly because of Uplay & how they set up their framework with this "always online" crap within their games from the start.

Even tho its "peer to peer" noobiesoft is going to be the "middle man" and if they cant listen/connected to you too = you cant play online either a dumb system, but world we live in now...

Its extremely dumb and preventing long livety for the game.

It's not all that dumb, that whole system is why a pirated version of the game is not out yet.

No. I don't care about piracy, make a good product and people will buy it. I own almost every Anno game, I even have 2 copies of Anno 1602 as well as the history edition of 1602 to play online without all the network configuration.

Stuff like this is exactly why people pirate, because the standard game is bloated with spyware and unnecessary requirements.
