  • That’s the problem with digital games.

    If you buy it legally the publisher might decide one day to take it away from you and you have absolutely no rights to stop them because you don’t own shit.

    If you pirate the game then it’s yours to keep for as long as you want. Plus you get the added benefit of none of the draconian DRM that serves no purpose other than to punish people that buy the games legitimately.

    Just to clarify that I only support pirating games when they have been removed from store fronts and there is no possible way to support the developer even if you wanted to.

    • If you bought it once you should be legally allowed to pirate it. That is just common sense.

    • You also have to somehow safely backup your pirates games. Otherwise they are gone as well some day.

  • I’m something of a patient gamer, and my wife has all the Assassin’s Creed games. A couple of months ago I decided to play Black Flag, as I remember her enjoying it back when it came out.

    Got 46% of the way through the story, then a few weeks ago, completely out of the blue, Ubicunts pushed out a 2gb “update” for it, the sole purpose of which appears to have been to break it. So now I can’t finish it.

    I hate Ubisoft.

  • well i guess no reason to come back for my ubisoft account after 5 years then.. worst are the steam games that then spawn ubisoft launchers.

    But seriously, just make gaming a subscription service at this point..

  • I bought the whole AC collection for less than $60, I was excited because I liked Assassin's Creed... I still do, at least the first ones.

    But soon after I bought it they came up with the bright idea of removing DLC content from games, this was about 2 years ago.

    I pirated my entire library, I still regret giving them money.
