Took their servers down for a week, and now people can't play their single player games.

Apparently, it's tied into their DRM.

Yet again the consumers are punished, and piracy hasn't been stopped.

Even when I buy a game, I get the cracked version too.

Making two games free of charge for a limited time.

The games are Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and World in Conflict.

The only caveat is you have to download them on that shitty Ubisoft game platform. (Their version of Steam.)

Assassin's Creed Black Flag is one of the best of the series.

Ubisoft's self-congratulatory SJW announcement at the beginning of the Assassin's Creed games is nauseating.

The company with a handful of franchises that they're beating to death with piss poor efforts is now thinking about creating only games with "endless game play".

No thank you. The market is already flooded with those games.

Give me stories, new experiences, and revolutionary game play. Give me a start, middle, and end. If I want endless game play, I'll go play an MMO, LoL, Rust, etc.

Agreed. I want good stories. Even before I lost high speed Internet, I'd stopped playing multiplayer online games.

Yeah, MMORPGs... if I had no job/life would be great. But as it is, I want a story, and arc, a something. I want completion.

Then Blizzard needs to apologize for making me play a gay character, Soldier 76.

For some reason they feel the need to make him gay when this game is just an arena shooter, what the hell does his sexual background have to do with anything?!??

I just cannot process how far we have fallen where companies are apologizing for hetero storylines. I guess being straight is so horrible and offensive that even ROLE PLAYING a straight character is a sin.

The comments at the actual article are mostly like mine, just negative that a company feels it has to apologize for nothing. Meanwhile, there are SJWs claiming anyone speaking out against the apology are just bigots there to bash LGBT people.

I love how if you don't 100% agree, you're a Nazi.

And if you're a nazi, you're free to assault, because "I remember when we used to kill nazis."
