Ubisoft has warned of falling company revenues and said it's seen that "many new games are struggling to stand out" as players turn away from traditional full-price releases.
I ran into this recently with Watch Dogs 2 which I never did finish. I finally got it installed on my linux machine, got it to actually start, and then got blasted with the Uplay garbage. Once I got that sorted out then it told me I was signed in with the wrong account and I had to go through a whole thing trying to reset the password for an account I had to guess the email for and wasn’t even sure I had. Now every time I launch the game I have to go through a whole thing where it starts, tells me I’m on the wrong, account, then restarts and makes me sign in with that other account.

Absolute sheer stupidity.
