Worse, unless the company is going out of business, which Ubisoft afaik is not, is it really a drag to spend a hundred a month keeping a server for ancient stuff running just for goodwill?
Some of these games needed many servers just for all the zones of one shard, a decade later that can be tucked into one computer.
Well, does it really need a server, like an MMO, or is that just some BS extra the software checks once in awhile becauae reasons?
Mitigation like this doesn't get in the way of business, and so bears little fruit, waggle-finger-wise.
How many Olympic-sized swimming pools?
If it moves, tax it. If it stops moving, subsidize it.
I pointed out once EVs got prevalent enough, government would stop subsidizing and start taxing. I got modded down, by clowns who, when government inevitably changed its mind, would later dutifully regurgitate the talking point that government now needs taxes for roads.
Any not on a sketchy web site?
Looks like blu ray in being tight fisted with patents, saying "you must pay more or do without".
World: We choose to do without.
Blu ray: Let's not get hasty, fellas!
Not being able to play blu ray on your computer without buying more software isn't helping.
This is all just a brief window of control by corporations. When older models get out and updated, nobody will care about corporate AI anymore.
Don't go. If, by some miracle it is awesome, you can go.
I used to point out that, if Linux were on hundreds of millions of desktops, it, too, would be under assault from large numbers of motivated hackers from sketchy countries, and would not be anywhere near as bullet proof as POMSPPP (Pee-ers On Microsoft Products Proudly Pontificated.)
You were security through obscurity. Welcome to the edge of the big boys club.

"Ah, hell. We corrupt politicians are really playing a gymnast's game of Twister, right foot don't drive AI from state! Left foot toss something to entrenched taxi interests we are corrupt for and beholden to! Right hand don't piss off voters! Left hand launch talking heads about race to the bottom!
Before modding me down, realize your thoughts, so-called, fall under one or more limbs.
Let's assume I'm the biggest anti-trust fan, and reflexively cheer on every last thing out of some bureaucrat's throat.
Me: What's going on?
Bureaucrat: "Many non-iPhone users also experience social stigma..."
Me: That seems weak.
I submit no. Why? 200 to 300 years will go by and tech will have altered the situation unrecognizably.
This is political arrogancy, not science.
The one day you'd sell your soul for something, souls are a glut.
