    Please don’t rewrite history: Always online -> Microsoft started that trend with GFWL et al

    You apparently don’t understand what “push and normalize” means.

    They never claimed that Ubisoft started these, they only claimed that Ubisoft was a major factor in these practices being popularized

      Which is absolutely rewriting history, because that is false. I don’t even know what the fuck you’re talking about, other than multiplayer I don’t remember always online games from Ubi. Which is funny, because the much loved doom series doesn’t let me play without a Bethesda account and that fucking shit is a single player game.

      The proof that this is a FUD push from a potential buyer is that people like you have access to the Internet but still have an unreasonable position based on false premises.

      GFWL list: the overwhelming majority of these games are single player and yet you needed to be online to play them. Ubisoft didn’t normalize jack shit, that’s all on Microsoft, together with the push to pay to play online.
