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.

Have to buy the game again
~~have to~~ will never buy from this company again.
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.
Apparently multiplayer on linux works so I guess that's one thumbs up for them.
Ubisoft is one of the rarest where the online component is optional. Even in The Division 2
Anyone else remember The Orange Box? Three fun games in one box that just worked. Holy shit have times changed...
You still needed steam to make it work, at the time that really pissed me off lol
just to download it tho, you could play offline later
Having to install steam at all was my issue with it back then. Game launchers/storefronts felt like a tacked on way to sell you on more bullshit and I hated it. Plus, with my Internet speed back then, it would've taken like 2 days to download the orange box haha.
refund

Well how do you expect them to mine your data if you got no internet...
Internet is also needed for the microtransactions.
Can't game with out that skin dawg!
