Apparently the Ubisoft servers are down so I cannot play SINGLE PLAYER Breakpoint.
I don’t even want to play the game online. I just enjoy running around in single player. Why they haven’t dropped an offline patch yet?
I hate to break it to you, but by Ubisoft’s terms and conditions, this is not your game. 🫤 you have never owned a copy of it.
That’s what every game company has said about every game for decades though! A game disc which installs and plays the game was legally still some nebulous “this provides a licence to play the game which can be revoked at any time”, it’s only now that the companies actually have the power to revoke them at any time.
🧑🚀🔫👨🚀Always has been. You never owned the software. Even when games were on cd or cartridge. The only thing that is your legal possession is the physical CD or cartridge and the license that came with it.
Always has been a blatant motherfucking lie, you mean.
Saying you don’t own a game you bought is exactly as batshit insane as saying you don’t own a paper book you bought. We wouldn’t put up with this shit for that, so we shouldn’t put up with it for games either!
Stop letting the copyright cartel steal our property rights and drive us into serfdom.
if you want to own/keep owning stuff, consider supporting with the push of a button.
Stopkillinggames is trying to change this in a huge effort spearheaded by one stubborn individual.
For the same reason that YouTube music refuses to play offline content stored on your phone until there’s a live internet connection - particularly helpful when you’re outside of coverage.
That reason is that you are the product and playing without being tracked doesn’t make any money.
No, it’s not the same; not even slightly! Youtube Music is a monthly subscription, whereas Ubisoft presents the transaction as a sale. Ubisoft has no right to gatekeep your property away from you.
I’m not saying that the two are the same.
I’m pointing out that you are prevented from using either service offline because they want to track your behaviour in order to monetize your data.

Yeah, I get by that by downloading the song and listening to it offline
Unless something has recently changed, I was unable to play music that was downloaded inside YouTube music but refused to play if there was no internet access.
You need to be a YouTube Music premium subscriber for true offline playback.
I recommend buying music on BandCamp instead. You get to own the music you buy, and support the artist at the same time.
Fuck subscription services.
I’m an Orpheus subscriber, which fixes al that for free!
RIP what.cd
I mean I copied the link of the music, used a youtube downloader and listen to it that way. The Youtube music App is broken AF.
EA did this thing a while back where they saw people were still playing Bad Company 2 on PC on community servers. They updated the game to require a login to EA’s server on boot, then took those servers down. Always online is cancer.
I see you fell for Ubi blatant lying that the game is single player when it should be classified as Live Service.
It truly does suck that there is no offline mode just like The Division.
Live service and always online are two entirely different things, and the former isn’t inherently malicious, unlike the latter.
I’d, for example, consider all Paradox grand strategy games as live service with major updates dropping once or twice a year (followed by like twenty bugfix patches cause they fuck up every time, but that’s besides the point). Sure, every major update comes with a new dlc that isn’t exactly cheap, but you also get a lot of free content with each release. All their major titles are entirely different games now than they were at the 1.0 release.
What ubisoft does is just a tacked on battle pass that gets a few worthless items/skins so they can call it live service and have a justification for their always online verification model. That’s purely an anti piracy measure that fucks legitimate players more than pirates.
In the Paradox case, nothing is live, and they aren’t pretending it’s a service. They just put goods out at a rapid clip that you choose to buy or not. That’s why live service games are always online. If Paradox counts, then so do board games, and that’s absurd.
I am not buying Ubisoft games going forwards.
You should have made that decision a long time ago, but you know what they say, better late than never!
Sadly purchasing digitally apparently affords consumers less rights. I would recommend finding a cracked version for the future just in case
We need to show up at the FTC chair’s house with torches and pitchforks until he agrees to start enforcing the Doctrine of First Sale again.
