Ubisoft ain't so Bad

FIREWALL · 03-17-10, 07:30 PM

I clicked desktop icon for SH5 and it loaded up just fine.

Played saved career for a couple of hours and had to save and do some RL things.

Came back later and came right back to save and continued playing.

The funny thing is... I took SH5 back to BestBuy for full refund, days ago.

btw. It plays better now than it ever did.

Uh... shouldn't you have deleted the game then? Would be the right thing to do.

So ... you hated the game so much you had to return it? But you still spend hours with it?

Good topic this.

Oh dear.

Everything is backwards.

I love these guys that claim to hate a game and still spend hours playing it. I'm sure he will still find a reason to complain even though Ubi is letting him play for free.

Well, I'll play anything if it's free.
But if I pay for £40 worth of game and I get £5 worth of bugs, I want a refund.

FIREWALL: you might want to stop using your SH5 copy.

Eventually someone will buy your disk and try to use it.
Each disk had a unique ID.
When the new owner finds he/she can't use the game, they will contact
ubi support to get it sorted. Ubisoft will they check to see which profile is
using the game and your name will come up.

Or at least that is a possible scenario.
Although, who knows, perhaps you have found a genuine loop hole.

Either way, what you are doing is not very moral.
It may be accidental, but it is still fraud/theft.
