Basically, PC players are about to lose access to DLCs that they bought and OWNED with Ubisoft games that they own, as well as not be able to access Uplay exclusive weapons, content, and levels of those games. The multiplayer will be shut down as well. Console players won't be able to play multiplayer or access Uplay content, which means no Uplay exclusive guns on stuff like Splinter Cell Blacklist for Xbox or PC players.
There should be an outrage and this can be reversed if the outcry is big enough. Microsoft reversed their decision to price up Gold and Sony reversed the decision to take the PS3 and Vita storefronts offline last year after backlash, this can absolutely be reversed if the same happens here.
Affected games of importance:
Assassin's Creed II
Assassin's Creed Brotherhood
Assassin's Creed Revelations
Assassin's Creed III
Assassin's Creed Liberation HD
Beyond Good And Evil HD
Prince Of Persia: The Forgotten Sands
Splinter Cell: Blacklist
Ghost Recon: Future Soldier

People still care about Ubisoft? Lmfao
i don't give a shit. you were stupid enough to buy from ubisoft. face the consequences.
Lesson learned: never trust ubisoft
nobody cares about ubishit.
no one cares about ubisoft so they'll get away with it. no idea why anyone is still buying their games.
>know ubisoft is shit
>give them money
>they do something bad
>cry about it
>repeat
>buying games
Don't care, you moronic consoomers did this to yourselves.
Good.
Anybody who gives Ubisoft money deserves much worse.
Many buyers of those DLCs don't even play anymore. Don't expect mass outrage, especially on PC where you can pirate that content.
is it a stretch to think this is what most digital publishers hope for? or are like stuff like steam or anything else just to big to get away with it?
You'll own nothing and you'll be happy.
Buy physical goods, dip shit.
you don't own the physical either
Cope.
Dumb frick
Again, even if you have the physical disk of Blacklist on 360, you still won't be able to use all the guns or skins because they were tied to Uplay.
I have the Altair costume in AC2 on 360 from Uplay. Are you telling me that I won't be able to use it anymore or does this only affect those that buy the games AFTER Uplay content is unobtainable?
I'm not sure, it's unclear. Try taking your Xbox 360 offline and playing the game, and seeing if you can still access it. If you can't, then more than likely, it's gone for everyone, regardless.
Adding to this, for a few older games they just gave you all the uplay related content for free regardless if you bought it with units or not, I know it happened with the Ezio Collection on Xbox for me, but they made it sound like they are completely cutting the games off from Uplay
It's simple, if you can't play it indefinitely don't buy it to begin with, because you're not buying you're just renting
I care, OP. Assassin's Creed II on PC was beautiful. This is why pirates are so evil, they contribute nothing and do nothing in response.
>Far Cry 3 (2012 release)
There's a different release?
Most of the games have a PS4 release now. Ubisoft is too cheap to just continue hosting the versions that people paid for a decade ago. Despite being great, Assassin's Creed II launched on November 17, 2009.
Splinter Cell Blacklist is the biggest deal here since:
It has DLC maps
It has multiplayer
It has Uplay/Ubisoft Connect Exclusive content
And it was done on a version of Unreal 2.5 dubbed the Lead Engine in a time when Unreal 3 was widely used, so if it does get remastered, something will probably get messed up.
I was already planning on trying out this series so I guess I might as well pick this up before the extra content is locked away from me. Is Blacklist one of the good ones?
>I might as well pick this up before the extra content is locked away from me
moron, just pirate it
I'm not a Black person like you so no thanks?
You paying greed shits like Ubi so they can continue fricking everyone in the ass is much worse Black person behavior, you're unironically a big part of what's wrong with the gaming industry. Frick you.
>he bought DLC
you deserve everything you get
>Beyond Good And Evil HD
I don't see it mentioned there?
>he bought? shut it down
>the perfect synthesis of Gears of War+L4D2+Diablo 3 not giving a single frick
>recent new content patch
>studio looking for additional designers and director

- Hard to find people when matchmaking
- PC crashes regularly, problem is known, fix ETA September or later
- Specialization overhaul has no ETA
- Repeated previous season several times
- Former CM was left, and new CM doesn't talk much
- New game mode is already losing interest
- Current season's new skill, EMP drone, was scrapped due to insufficient resources
I love the game, played Div1 since the pre-release and play Div2 every day, but there are a lot of problems which need fixing. Hopefully the year of insufficient staff will prompt management to increase their offering, because there clearly aren't enough people to keep the game running.
The thing Division always has going for it is the mind-blowing amount of world detail. Custom major brands with a full marketing suites, local stores with unique assets, radio stations for each safe house with dozens of hours of original content, uncannily accurate maps compared with their real-world counterparts, etc. There's always been technical problems and a few unanswered problems (what's the DZ for, why does Conflict exist, why would people play Underground/Summit, etc).
Are they not focusing development on the f2p Division game? I'm surprised 2 still gets support.
They still pretty alive for now. They got new storyline coming now
>playing Ubishit
>buying Ubishit
You deserve this homosexual
Ubisoft, EA, Activision, Blizzard, Bethesda, etc. What's the difference? I always expect this and worse from them
Uplay hasn't worked for PS3 for years now, although multiplayer is still functional for those games.
friendly reminder you can't play nintendo wii games online anymore
Wii/DS have custom servers
https://wiimmfi.de/
you can see like 75 people are playing Mario Kart Wii right now
maybe if they were NFTs you wouldn't lose them.
checkmate.
Assassin's Creed 3 had a pretty fun multiplayer. Will try to get a few games in before it shuts down.
I don't know why even do this and suffer bad PR for it. It must cost them next to nothing to keep those already existing services going.
The moment you see a game has DLC or any kind of online functionality, you ahould already know that at some point you cant access it anymore.
How does this surprise anyone?
Hell, this is why people hated DLC in the first place (well and the whole taking out content to sell to you later).
I mean did people expect them to keep servers running for 50years when they dont earn money by doing that?
Dont buy DLC cuck shit.
Old games you might say, but think about nu-AC trilogy and their online content. That shit will also be disabled one day.
does this mean the far cry 3 extra missions from the dlc won't be available on pc from now on? like literal content removed from the game forever? would it be so hard to just jam it in on the standard download? what the frick are they thinking?????
what extra missions?
monkey business and lost expeditions as far as I'm aware are dlc
lol nice didnt know they existed
>one is preorder bonus the other part of deluxe edition
Yeah let em burn in hell.
Oh no, 5-minute content with an annoying fat homosexual. At least we still have 3 other Far Cry games that shove him in our face, right?
It's too late now. moronic zoomers will accept it as just something that happens in the future.
I never buy anything Ubisoft.
This is what you get when you give these devs money and allow GaaS to flourish. It's a consequence of your own actions slapping you in the face. It's gonna get much worse, obviously.
Hope that it gets worse. Gamers are the DUMBEST types of customers ever. And they do deserve the industry they bought into.
Is this just Uplay or Steam too?
>Is this just Uplay or Uplay (but you press the green button on steam) too?
what do you think dummy
Klaus said I will be happy though
You will eat bugs and you will be happy.
I think you're 10+ years too late, OP. Who the frick cares? None of these are online games anyway you fricking homosexual.
>multiplayer
>uplay
KYS
That's probably part of the problem, they released DLC for single player games and people thought they'd always have access to the things they bought. Turns out they don't lol
No one was playing them anyway OP. Everyone just plays the same 3 games these days.
>agree to tos
>it gets enforced
>WTF this is LITERAL hwite genocide
you're moronic and you get what has been coming to you.
good, pc cattle deserve to get fricked
>cattle
>the only gaming market with full control over their platforms
lol
>"msaterrace" unable to read a simple headline
Proving your case beyond any shadow of a doubt.
No one cares about ubishit games
