To top it all off, Shadows' EULA also includes a provision that allows the game to monitor your PC's RAM to ensure you're not running any unauthorized programs like macros, cheats, or hacks, a well-intentioned clause that nonetheless feels a touch out of place in a single-player game and could potentially scare off some of the more suspicious players who aren't comfortable with their hardware being monitored.

For a single player game by the way

all this to protect people from pirating buggy slop that'll be notoriously broken on day one.

[–] circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 5 hours ago

As if I needed more reasons not to play it. Thanks Ubi, you shouldn't have.

What's well intentioned about not letting me use Cheat Engine on my own game. I'm not interacting with anyone else, I can't ruin the game's economy, or make people's PvP experience worse. The worst thing I could do is make my own experience worse. They're even including macro's in that -- A wide-spread accessibility feature.

I already bought the game, what incentive is there to make sure I can't enjoy it?

Stretching the definition of "feature"

What the actual fuck? Is this game some kinda developer revolt? Are they trying to sink the studio?

Isn't fitgirl a repacker?

Also, did recent denuvo games get cracked?

[–] Aria@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 5 hours ago

Probably thinking of Empress. The most recent Denuvo game to be cracked was Dead Island 2, which is a year and a half ago. And if we don't count Empress or MKDEV*, (because it's reasonable to assume they aren't going to want to crack this), then it's eFootball in 2020: 4 years ago.

*MKDEV used to only crack Football Manager, as to allow modding. Football Manager now allows a method for MKDEV's mod to run without removing Denuvo.

Absolutely shocking.

Weren't they supposed to be in damage control mode after the broken Torii gate incident? Why are they trying to make Ghost of Yotei stronger? Are they stupid?

[–] stormesp@lemm.ee 7 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Its no news tbh, all Ubi games have done for a long time, look at valhalla, mirage, prince of persia lost crown and such

[–] Blxter@lemmy.zip 12 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

They have ram monitors? I know they have denuvo and such but this is first time I have heard of a 'ram monitor'

[–] stormesp@lemm.ee 3 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I thought they did and that was one of the reasons Windows updates where breaking their games, but might have been a mistake on my part. Denuvo and mandatory Ubi link have been their standard for quite some time at least.

[–] Blxter@lemmy.zip 2 points 20 hours ago

Maybe, I have no idea... I do think we would have heard about it if it was in mirage for example.

[–] sirico@feddit.uk 6 points 21 hours ago

Nice I wanted to buy some more stock

PC gamers only care about account linking when it's Sony.

[–] loutr@sh.itjust.works 8 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

On the steam deck 3rd party launchers are a major pain in the ass.

[–] RxBrad@infosec.pub 1 points 2 hours ago

Good thing Sony doesn't even have launcher. But hey, we're still all mad. Because internet.
