This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

Ubisoft has just released the first piece of concept art for Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced, finally confirming its long-awaited remake that has been rumored for years.

I really want to play this, but I cannot in good conscience give money to Ubisoft.

Sadly, Ubisoft's godlike digital rights protections are perfected in ways that my meager search engine typing skills could never trivially counter on a boring afternoon, assuming I don't find a free pack-in copy before then on some kind of random mall kiosk plug and play TV game device.

Woe is me that I'll have no choice but to ignore this game until a copy literally falls into my lap through random chance because software wants to be free.

The dumbasses in Ubisoft's leadership ought to relearn that the paying games industry runs entirely on good will.

Edit: Anyone have recommendations for great indie pirate games?

Windrose is an upcoming pirate survival crafting game, that supposedly got some good ship gameplay.

There's a demo available.

If you really want to play DRM-protected games, usually a certain fit girl makes it easy for you not long atter release.

I haven't been delving into that stuff for many years, but as recent as I can find, several reddit post from 3 months, 6 months, and 7 months ago saying AC Shadows still hasn't been "available through that means" since the DRM is still active.

I kind of doubt the newer games will be available through these, at least not until the DRM is deactivated. I have "proper install" of Mirage and even that still requires always online. Although I found out Mirage is available through that means. So maybe wait after a few years.

Indeed, AC Shadows has not been exploited yet.
