So am i finally going to be able to play my games that ive bee locked out of? They wont let me change the password on their shitty launcher because the email tied to it is long dead, and Microsoft wont let me revive it.

Wait, who am i kidding?

They are installing a new package through steam, "Ubisoft Connect Services" and are trialing it alongside Prince of Persia and so I removed both when I saw the download pop up. I'm so done with Ubisoft, triple a in general, and spyware entirely.

What? What's the trick? Ubisoft doesn't do good things....

[–] CluckN@lemmy.world 22 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

in future their games will hook into the smaller Ubisoft Connect Services

It’s still a turd sandwich but a smaller one.

A lot of game launchers can already be skipped by putting:
--skip-launcher
In the game properties under steam

I need a script to put that into every goddamn game on steam and another to auto refund any game it doesn't work with. I'm tired of dragging out the m+kb from the couch

[–] imjustjealous@lemmy.world 1 points 52 minutes ago

ScopebuddyGUI does exactly that. (And more)

Wow, good on Ubisoft. I usually don't trust them, so I do wonder if they are trying something shitty, but this seems cool.

Still no ever going to give them a cent but it's good that they suck less
