    Ubisoft solidified my position.

    I pay for Ghost Recon Wildlands. I play the game a lot, rack up hundreds of hours. I go to a location that doesn’t have internet access available and am told I need to go online to play single player campaign. Ubisoft Connect says I need to be online to play the game. Try putting it into Offline mode and it still says I need to be online to activate a game I have paid for years ago and put hundreds of hours into. I use my shitty mobile phone 2G whatever speed to email Ubisoft support about the issue. Ubisoft support tells me to put the Ubisoft client into offline mode.

    …do you know who doesn’t have this issue? People who pirate the game.

    If I ever play another Ubisoft game, it will be pirated.

      Unfortunately my hardware is too old to play games that are like that.

      But I’ve noticed the same with mobile games. My policy is: if that single player game doesn’t start without internet access it gets deleted.
