This sounds great, I can't run games from Uplay if it's online and Ubi's customer service wasn't able to solve the problem... well actually they decided to ignore me. So, thanks guys for all the features I won't be enjoying!

This is pretty disappointing to see, especially in what is generally considered to be a pretty good game.
You'd think with all the bad rep Online Pass shenanigans have received, Ubisoft would be more reluctant to use them, but apparently that isn't the case here.
It won't affect me in particular, as I'll most likely buy it new, but it still is disheartening to see this practice is ongoing.

Yarr, mateys. I be thinkin' that Ubisoft be done hoistin' their own black flag, and sailin' with the intent o' pillagin' yer wallets! In all me years o' sailin', this here be the dirtiest trick I'd ever done seen. Davey Jones be rollin' over in his locker, methinks. Yarrrrr.
A pox on you, Ubisoft. 'Tweren't for Steam sales, I'd have meself nothin' ta do with the likes o' you smelly lot.

Good catch! I modded the heck out of my game, so I'd all but forgotten. I ended up buying DA: O TWICE, Colelctor's Edition preorder AND the GOTY edition. I had preordered DA2, but the store I'd ordered it from went under. I missed the deadline to get the Exiled Prince for free, so I skipped out on DA2 until it hit a bargain bin, as a result.Mcoffey said:
So yeah EA, there's one case where I was still willing to buy your crap, but your own stupidity lost you a full-priced sale.
Anyhoo, back to Ubisoft...UPlay itself is a somewhat buggy and laggy affair. I'm surprised that these companies don't do a better job at making these shilling scams more attractive and streamlined/fast. The idea being that, by the time you figured it was a scam, you'd already given up all your data.
I remember Ubisoft doing a similar thing with Rainbow Six, IIRC. Free maps for disclosing everything but your social. That was a load of bollocks.
I swear Ubisoft wants to push consumers to the point of not wanting to buy their games. I know many people that aren't going to be buying Assassin's Creed because of the six month embargo for the DLC that is a PS4 exclusive. My friends that I talked about it wouldn't have had a problem if it was a month like what Microsoft did with the 360, but six months seems to be more of a punishment. Now add on the fact they are continuing with the Online Pass garbage that EA removed a couple of months ago (and to EA's credit any game that did have an Online Pass all that DLC is now free). To what seems to punish the used game market.
The only thing I am unsure about is if Ubisoft actually followed through with the always on DRM removal they said they were going to do before Assassin's Creed 3 came out.

and there goes Ubisoft and pisses off everybody, ... again.

My oh my, EA has already dropped this bullshit and Ubisoft still keeps putting their foot in their mouths.
Tsk, tsk Ubi, you'll soon learn people don't like your bullshit, but I guess that's what you don't want to hear, right?, because "hurr durr, used gaemz adn piracy!".

Still gonna buy it. I don't see why taking out a minor (and honestly kinda shit) feature as a small incentive to buy new is such a major issue to some people. Also I'm just gonna throw this out there: so far I like Uplay better than Steam.
It's ironic that a game about pirates and their carefreee style of life is now under the oppressive, totalitarian thumb of the online pass. You know, to stop piracy.
Wut.
Wut.
Yo dawg, I heard you like pirates.
So we made a game about pirates but took some of the pirating out so you can't pirate if you pirate.

It's almost as if ubisoft appreciates the irony of people pirating their game, and is thus doing their best to discourage actual customers.
At least EA has the courtesy to cut those parts out of the game and call them DLC. Ubisoft just added a pay wall to features they left in the game.
But seriously, this can not be allowed to stand. I get the MP features requiring a pay wall, but SP pay walls? What's next? Pay $10 to unlock the option to sprint in FPS? Pay $10 to switch weapons? Pay per mission? Fuck 'em.

I almost punched my monitor as I just found out about this. I'm actually so pissed that I cannot type in all caps what would appear to be every curse word i've ever learned. I also refuse to capitalize the "u" in ubisoft, they can suck my appendages; all of them.Xdeser2 said:
I actually defended these assholes, I thought they were coming back around to consumers; simply bullshit. Not buying this game, but I will watch cutscene movie that will be put up on youtube if it isn't already.

Friends a week ago: "OMG dude why you no buy Ubisoft games, they make the best shit!"
This... this is why, dealing with these conglomerate motherfuckers has become like a prison shower, sure in concept it's all the same deal up to the point where you get surprise ass rape.
