My disdain for Ubisoft is chafing against my Canadian patriotism!
I might sit this one out until they stop requiring an account for every game.
Ubisoft is not really a "Canadian company" as far as I am concerned, they have Canadian employees, which is nice I suppose, but they're a French company. At least it's not American, but I prefer when the owners at least nominally live here so as much of my dollars go back into my own country as possible. Lots of great indie games out there, I guess if you can't live without AAA games then maybe Ubisoft is one of the better choices, but I think it's preferable when we can support our locally-owned indie studios instead. I'm tired of being pillaged for profit by foreign companies.
Yeah, this is annoying, and so many companies do this. I don't mind if they want me to log in to save progress, especially in cross-platform games, but we know damn well they use "the account" as another way to track, data-harvest, and invade someone's privacy.
Also to stop game resales, which seems to have completely died off.
