Apparently the Ubisoft servers are down so I cannot play SINGLE PLAYER Breakpoint.

I don’t even want to play the game online. I just enjoy running around in single player. Why they haven’t dropped an offline patch yet?

    I see you fell for Ubi blatant lying that the game is single player when it should be classified as Live Service.

    It truly does suck that there is no offline mode just like The Division.

      Live service and always online are two entirely different things, and the former isn’t inherently malicious, unlike the latter.

      I’d, for example, consider all Paradox grand strategy games as live service with major updates dropping once or twice a year (followed by like twenty bugfix patches cause they fuck up every time, but that’s besides the point). Sure, every major update comes with a new dlc that isn’t exactly cheap, but you also get a lot of free content with each release. All their major titles are entirely different games now than they were at the 1.0 release.

      What ubisoft does is just a tacked on battle pass that gets a few worthless items/skins so they can call it live service and have a justification for their always online verification model. That’s purely an anti piracy measure that fucks legitimate players more than pirates.

        In the Paradox case, nothing is live, and they aren’t pretending it’s a service. They just put goods out at a rapid clip that you choose to buy or not. That’s why live service games are always online. If Paradox counts, then so do board games, and that’s absurd.
