    It ran fine since 2017 and got blindsided by MS. Anyone blaming Ubisoft is biased af, or has information not included in this article.

      Yeah, the billion dollar game developer doesn’t have the resources to test preview editions of the only PC OS their game is designed for. They’re just a small startup of ~20k employees. How are they supposed to allocated anyone to patching a game from their most popular franchise?

      You’re right, it’s the consumers fault for being biased.

          So, people should leave positive reviews for games that no longer work?

          Like I get what your saying. It’s not Ubisoft’s fault.

          But if they’re not going to fix their old game, than it should be reviewed negatively so people don’t spend money on a game that no longer works.

          If they don’t want that, than delist it.

        They do have the resources, they also have the expectation they won’t need to waste them on dumb shit MS breaks.

        Ubisoft IS the consumer of MS products. But I guess your sympathies for consumers is only skin deep.

            What a profound observation. Paperwork isn’t flesh. Amazing. What’s your point?

              That yes, it doesn’t bother me that Ubisoft is a consumer of Microsoft.

              If Ubisoft doesn’t update their product, they should be reviews negatively. If they don’t like it they should de list it so people don’t pay money for a broken product.
