Aren't all of these SP games? The fuck they need anti-cheat for?
It's probably kernel level anti-piracy shit, but same results.
Ubisoft sells cosmetic stuff in their singleplayer games.
Most of it gets cracked anyways though, but I guess lol shit reason for them but only explanation.
They only need to make sure it's difficult enough the average user can't be bothered to figure out the workaround. I'm sure without looking they made a considerate sum from the neglected children market.
That's the truth, they wouldn't do it if they didn't make money off it.
Only the ones that come with some ultimate edition, the store exclusive ones never do.
You know the cosmetics things that you could unlock using cheat codes 20 years ago in single player games ? You now have to pay for it. And they bloat your OS kernel to ensure that you don’t get those valuables skins without actually paying for it.
Lol yea long ass time ago, when crack engines where a thing or even console codes. The fuck....
And a lot of the items were introduced on the initiative of developers without any coordination with Marketing team
I was curious too, and... Avatar appears to have a co-op mode. Not really high stakes for cheating.
