Fuck Ubisoft. Not giving them a cent after what they did to the crew

WELCOME TO MARIO KART

Not trusting them after they did this shit

I used Edge but stopped once they began adding ads (the only way to disable them are via flags and that doesn't even disable all)

Then around this year it began to automatically open after updating so I blocked the executable from running via regedit

Lmao that's nothing compared to mines

That reminds me of this. Some local store here tried to sell a 5700G and 3050 PC for 1941 dollars

Because who can afford a new gaming rig/system AND games to play on it?

I live in a developing country, I'm not either rich or poor and I have a decent gaming rig (i5-10400 and RX 6600)

For PC stuff you just need to know what to get and where would be the best place to get it (aka where is it cheaper) because here in Costa Rica (where I live) people will try to scam you into getting a 6600 XT for like $900 (US dollars, even though our currency is colones)

As for games you can either hop on the ship and sail or wait until the next major Steam sale. For games I'd recommend Steam but I feel MS Store/Xbox PC is fine as well

Oh no

That's Honkai Star Rail right?

Wait what? I only use Old Reddit and Infinity on mobile so idk what they are doing

Goat Simulator (the OG one)?

It has a DLC that parodies RPGs

Assassin's Creed Shadows Will Feature Denuvo & Account Linking + EULA also requires you to allow Ubisoft to "monitor" your RAM

The game's EULA also requires you to allow Ubisoft to "monitor" your RAM.

As Ubisoft prepares for the 2025 launch of Assassin's Creed Shadows – a game some view as the developer's last chance to break free from a year marked by financial setbacks and controversies – the game's Steam page has finally gone live, revealing two major caveats about the Steam version of AC Shadows that will, unfortunately for Ubisoft, likely drive away some gamers.

If you're in any way familiar with the PC gaming industry (or have read the title of this article), then you've most likely already guessed one of the caveats, and yes, the PC version of Assassin's Creed Shadows will feature Denuvo, a controversial DRM software detested by the community for negatively affecting loading times and framerate in games, something Denuvo's creator Irdeto categorically denies, blaming its low reputation on pirates and gamers.

While Denuvo's presence in Shadows isn't much of a surprise – considering it's been used in Ubisoft's previous games like Assassin's Creed Mirage, Star Wars Outlaws, the Far Cry series, and others – the decision to keep the DRM could be seen as questionable given the growing trend of developers ditching Denuvo or choosing not to include it in the first place, as well as Ubisoft's apparent need to steer clear of further controversies and reputational damage.

The second caveat relates to another requirement the community generally dislikes: the mandatory account linking to the studio's Ubisoft Connect platform when buying Assassin's Creed Shadows on Steam. Even though, much like Denuvo, this isn't anything new for Ubisoft fans, it could still negatively impact the game financially and reputationally considering what happened with Helldivers 2 earlier this year when Sony's now-retracted mandate to link Steam accounts to PSN caused an uproar, buried the game in negative reviews, and, as some believe, tanked the game's player numbers, with many blaming this backlash as the sole reason we've heard so little about Helldivers 2 in the second half of 2024, despite it being universally acclaimed and considered a strong contender for Game of the Year when it first launched.

To top it all off, Shadows' EULA also includes a provision that allows the game to monitor your PC's RAM to ensure you're not running any unauthorized programs like macros, cheats, or hacks, a well-intentioned clause that nonetheless feels a touch out of place in a single-player game and could potentially scare off some of the more suspicious players who aren't comfortable with their hardware being monitored.

And what's your take on those requirements? Would it be beneficial for Ubisoft to get rid of Denuvo and account linking while there's still time?

Where's c/terriblefacebookmemes?

Basically Far Cry but with star wars people and Far Cry but with blue people

There's an app for that: https://github.com/zacharee/Tweaker

You'll need to use adb to grant special permissions that an app can't request on its own.

adb shell pm grant com.zacharee1.systemuituner android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
adb shell pm grant com.zacharee1.systemuituner android.permission.PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS
adb shell pm grant com.zacharee1.systemuituner android.permission.DUMP

I think this is law in Europe. Here in Costa Rica I haven't seen this in my Note20 Ultra. The closest thing is this

Context if y'all didn't get it

Let's see if that's true

Fuck you
