Bull. Fucking. Shit.
Do not buy.
If they add Ubisoft Connect, it won’t be optional.
*** unless you want access to any sort of online feature such as co-op, pvp, dlc, leaderboards, or patches of any kind.
It’s Ubisoft, even if it’s a singleplayer offline only with no DLC/PvP/lmnop they will require it.
with version 1.0
day one patch brings it to 1.1 and makes it mandatory
Why would Ubisoft change their tune now when every single game in their entire IP catalog requires an Ubisoft account? I don’t believe this for a second.
If not, it would be cool. But i don’t recall ubisoft doing this in like ever.
I mean if it’s sold on Steam and they change their mind, I’m pretty sure Steam would just issue refunds.
They did it for PSN even after it was disclosed it would be required from the beginning.
Did Steam offer refunds to those who had already played Helldivers? I don’t believe so.
They only offered refunds to pre orders.
Yes, they were issuing refunds to people who were past their refund period.
Ah, I missed that.
I read that headlines as the devs going rogue and thought that was going to end poorly for them
I mean. This is what Ubi have been doing forever. Just about all of there games allow you to link with Ubisoft connect for some little in-game tchotchkes. But they never require it. I remember getting the Altair outfit from it way back in Assassin’s Creed 2.
It’s not like Ubi are new to PC gaming like Sony is. Doesn’t make sense for them to change tact now. This is just an easy win for them riding off the back of Sony’s blunder.
Can’t wait for 1.1
