To top it all off, Shadows’ EULA also includes a provision that allows the game to monitor your PC’s RAM to ensure you’re not running any unauthorized programs like macros, cheats, or hacks, a well-intentioned clause that nonetheless feels a touch out of place in a single-player game and could potentially scare off some of the more suspicious players who aren’t comfortable with their hardware being monitored.
Can’t they just… Make a “normal game”? One that you install, play and that’s it?. Why the fuck do they need to monitor Ram? What the hell?
Anti cheat (it’s actually anti piracy which is not possible also they oops sell massive data dumps for cash oops)
Data mining, baby! It’s worth more than gold.
Honestly also curious why this is necessary.
Ah, it’s in the article.
No one gets to authorize programs to run on my PC but me.
It’s honestly very odd that it needs to do this for a single-player game.
WTF do they care if you’re modding your own single player game that you paid for? They sound like assholes!
Micro transactions
…th…they are.
Ubisoft is usually exhibit A when it comes to asshole-ry.
Is there maybe an online multiplayer component to the game which might otherwise experience cheating? I dunno. 🤷♂️
