This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Dude when that straight up happened to me I was enraged. And when calling PlayStations service line, and they told me there wasn’t anything they could do? I wanted to burn their head office down.

a fun older one from Ubisoft before the currently accepted digital distribution hellscape - Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands (2010); they worked in a DRM measure where doors wouldn't open if the game couldn't ping home to their servers. They've been at these shinanigans for a while

Buy Halo on steam

Need account to play single player

Entire sign up system is the goop

Uninstall and refund

Just got mad again thinking about it. I'd used things like ShutUp10 and various scripts to remove so many of the MSFT telemetry and invasive programs on my install. Bought Halo on Steam and it can't function without all the BS backend stuff on Windows though, so back to Gabe it went.

Ubisoft is one of the rarest where the online component is optional. Even in The Division 2
