PSA: Don't buy Ubisoft games on PC

Just don't. They are without a doubt the worst PC publishers. Most of their games include shitty alway-on DRM that only restricts legitimate buyers, and most of their multiplatform games are inferior on the PC. Just don't do it. Kthxbai.

Pretty soon every major publisher is going to have their own version of Origin. I can't wait :x :evil:

They've been doing better.

Rayman Origins is DRM free.

I find it hilarious when people complain about DRM then refuse to buy games from anywhere but Steam. :roll:

(Not that I'm implying this is the case here, just in general)

But Ubi has had a record of being terrible when it comes to DRM (though I love many of the games they publish, they seem to willingly fund projects that most other publishers would scoff at).

PC has had obnoxious DRM since the 80s. It comes with the hobby.
