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.

    Oh ffs 🤦‍♂️ If I bought the game and want to cheat myself out of the experience, just let me do so…!
    
    If I’m understanding you correctly, level boosters are things you can activate to… skip levels? Reach character levels quicker?

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.
