I stopped buying Unisoft games decades ago. Because they suck. The owners suck. The management sucks. The corporate culture sucks. I feel bad for the coders working for them.

Stop. Buying. Ubisoft. Games.

I tried to uninstall a game but was blocked because I didn't remember my ubisoft launcher password. Wtf, its my PC get the fuck out

Probably wanna check

BulkCrapUninstaller for windows. https://www.bcuninstaller.com/

It's pretty good.

Or just drop Winblows and finally move to freedom by installing a good Linux distro.

A Linux native version might even be worse. At least in windows you can usually just delete the directory out of \program files or wherever. Linux applications tend to insert themselves into every corner of your filesystem

I think expecting a company that's this hostile towards uninstalling to distribute as a flat pack is asking a lot. Also maybe this is nitpicking but idk if I'd call containerized "native"

@funksoulkitchen@lemmy.zip

Revo Uninstaller is really good too.

Or as someone else mentioned, just ditch windows. It's a sinking ship. I'll end my spiel there.^irunarchbtw^

The last Ubisoft games I played to the end were AC: Black Flag and Watch Dogs, which were both like 12-13 years ago. Neither game was GOOD, but they seemed decent to me at the time. I've play tested a few titles since then since then, all of which were hot garbage. Ubisoft is as dead to me as EA these days.

siege was pretty cool for the first two years

[–] scala@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 months ago

Ubislop. I stopped buying them after AC2.

You just sail the high seas and never pay a single cent.

[–] nwtreeoctopus@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

And you should! But most of them still aren't worth the download.

I don't mind paying for good games, to companies that treat their staff well.
