Ubisoft also announced both The Crew 2 and The Crew Motorfest will have an offline mode (twitter post, screenshot). Looks like the Stop Killing Games campaign is working.

Speaking of, if you're in EU make sure to sign the The European Citizens' Initiative petition - we're already over 30% required signatures!

Ubisoft won’t even be getting a dollar from me

Technically, they would be getting $0.70. 30% is going to Valve.

The point is that they’re not getting anything from me. I’d would much rather spend that extra dollar on a really good indie game.

On the topic of which, i’ve finished Tunic today, and it’s been absolutely excellent. Strongly recommended

Yup. Last game I bought from them was Phoenix rising or something on the switch. Actually pretty fun. Until I learned I had to work around the forced login and online bullshit by throwing it in airplane mode at a specific time then suspending and resuming or some goofy ass shit. It's a single player game. No I will not create and connect a useless account.

Note: it doesn't currently work on Steam Deck and Linux in general because of the anti cheat. UbiSoft announced they will add an offline mode, so maybe they will partially disable it later.

Surprised to see it 98% off. I thought Steam capped discounts to 90% a few years ago?

They gave away The Crew for free.

[–] B0NK3RS@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

They got me! I couldn't resist for that price.

Fool me once.
