Comment on Assassin's Creed Shadows Will Feature Denuvo & Account Linking + EULA also requires you to allow Ubisoft to "monitor" your RAM

  Ah, it’s in the article.

  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.

    WTF do they care if you’re modding your own single player game that you paid for? They sound like assholes!

      Is there maybe an online multiplayer component to the game which might otherwise experience cheating? I dunno. 🤷‍♂️

        They sell level boosters that you could otherwise circumvent with Cheat Engine.

    unauthorized programs

    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.
