And just like that, I couldn’t be less interested in this game.
Why TF does it matter so much if you cheat in a single player game that they have to take such drastic measures to prevent it? In multiplayer, competitive games, I sort of get it, depending on context, but single player games, no way. I mod single player games all the time. It’s one of the main reasons I like PC gaming over console. I’d never buy a game that went this far to prevent something that has no effect on them or anyone else.
Lots of game developers started off as hobbyist modders when they were young. Maybe they’re trying to eliminate the future competition. More likely, Denuvo’s actual primary purpose is DRM and anti-cheat is just how it’s sold to players.
This game is already hard to want. Why make it hard to play too?
I love them paying for a denuvo license on a game no one even cares enough about to pirate anyway.
Ubisoft may have given up making entertaining games a long time ago but they still provide me with entertainment.
You know it’s bad when you don’t want to even pirate the game.
Search for ubisoft in steams store page, click the gear on the right hand side, click ignore to take out the trash.
There had always been more then one lifetimes worth of stuff to do. Be picky
hard pass
All you have to do to get my money is let me be a pirate, a jedi, a ninja, or a samurai. My inner child can’t help themselves.
So how can Ubisoft be so terrible that I have literally not wanted to play their Pirate game, their StarWars game, and now their Ninja/Samurai game!?
I think that’s really the issue with Ubisoft, they just don’t make “must play” games anymore. Seriously, what’s the last universally liked Ubisoft game that everyone wanted to play? Far Cry 3. Close second is probably AC: Black flag but that was already suffering from AC fatigue and its critical acclaim has come retroactively. Those games are over a decade old. Ubisoft hasn’t released anything in the last decade where the mainstream gaming goes “We must play that”. Ubisoft simply doesn’t make exciting games anymore. They make games that are for everyone which also means they’re for no-one.
Its been a while since i played. Probably dead these days. Back in the day everyone memed they were gonna add ninjas one day.
Hey now! Ubisoft is still enabling your desire to become a pirate! Just … In a different way than they wanted.
Arrr! 🏴☠️🫡
Hahaa… Keep it.
Can’t they just… Make a “normal game”? One that you install, play and that’s it?. Why the fuck do they need to monitor Ram? What the hell?
Anti cheat (it’s actually anti piracy which is not possible also they oops sell massive data dumps for cash oops)
Honestly also curious why this is necessary.
Ah, it’s in the article.
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.
unauthorized programs
No one gets to authorize programs to run on my PC but me.
It’s honestly very odd that it needs to do this for a single-player game.
Not the version I download
They afraid of me cheating in a singleplayer game? Not that I’m ever going to play it in the first place.
Companies realized they can sell cheats as microtransactions instead and people will pay for them. They will likely also include some cosmetic microtransactions like their previous game, which they definitely don’t want people just cheating in. It’s why so many single player games require being always online as well.
Can’t have you accessing skins and items they plan to sell!
Especially stuff already shipped in the game code!
Their trash games ain’t even worth to pirate anymore
Thank you for putting my thoughts into words
The ultimate piracy protection
Ubisoft can monitor nothing but my balls.
I don’t want that disease vector anywhere near my dangly bits, thanks.
Make sure they are unwashed while being monitored
A shit monitoring balls?
“If you betray us, Ubisoft, I’m going to cut off your balls and shove them up your ass so the next time you take a shit, you shit all over your balls!”
Imagine if they took all that ‘piracy prevention’ effort (that doesn’t really work in the end anyway) and put it towards actually making enjoyable games.
It’s certainly working because I’m not gonna bother playing the game
Right, and if I do I won’t be buying it.
See? Piracy prevented
Let me clarify, I will not be purchasing this game if I want to play it.
Doesn’t matter, had sex
These things don’t cost effort, they just buy a library and pump up the cost of the game and make the fucking publishers feel better about themselves.
