Ubisoft removing access to older Assassin creed games from peoples account (other games too)

[ZZZZZ]

Ubisoft finally did it!! The next step in gaming! They remove your access to play certain features you actually paid for. Reason is that their online-drm is going offline

Multiplayer function is deavctivated and the DLCs getting their access removed, means they cant be played anymore after the announced date on the shopsite (1. september)

The games were on sale during summer sale just to get a nice announcement a week later

Only a matter of time till other publishers will follow


here a list of games where you lose access of already bought DLCs

Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands
Far Cry 3
Assassin's Creed 3
Assassin's Creed Brotherhood
Assassin's Creed Liberation HD
Driver: San Francisco
Silent Hunter 5
Anno 2070

This is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ trash. It's probably because they know they won't make a game that good again.

Time to stop buying video games and save my money, I guess.

If Ubisoft can do this, any game company can do it.

[Incarnate]

There is an answer. Sh**post their accounts on social media. And more importantly, stop buying games from them.

As one YouTuber said, gamers get the industry they deserve.

that's terrible.

at least I din't pay much for my copies of Assasin creed 2 and another one which I don't remember which one ... there was a store selling dvd-rom copies of older PC games a long time ago and I had 2 assasins creed together in the deal for 10 canadian dollars.

You can go for DRM free games.

Also, yeah, we are dependent on Valve treating their DRM with respect at a minimum.

Might have to look into fixing my Ubi$oft games myself.

I still have to find a way to fix Crysis: Warhead and Dead Space 2 because of EA's activation limit and them refusing to reset those for me.

Ubisoft , If I ever buy any games from them again it's never gonna be below 90% sales.

They're just shutting down multiplayer and virtual loot redemption.

[Devsman]

This kind of thing has been going on for a long time in the multiplayer space.

Apparently it's DLC too, so potentially there could be huge chunks of games missing.

[Morkonan]

I can not see any of the titles in the embedded Steam links.... A sign? Is it teh Apockyclips?

Only multi-player is being shutdown single player is still playable.
