I noped out of the Outlaws demo when I was forced to create a Ubisoft account to play.
Whole point of console gaming is convenience.
They obviously don’t want my $60. I wonder how much they make selling the data to brokers that someone downloaded their demo and ditched it at the login screen.
I am fairly confident they are one of the companies where when you launch the game you purchased through steam it redirects you to the ubisoft launcher like how some Microsoft games in steam prompt a xbox login. Forza Horizon 5, I’m looking at you.
Indeed, but whatever they’ve been doing over the past eight years doesn’t seem to be doing the stock prices any good. They need a reevaluation of their approach.
They need some fun original IP, so much of their work is derivative and rehashes of old stuff now.
Beyond that, to GET to their rehashed derivative stuff you need a separate launcher with a separate and annoying login.

You are correct. It’s the reason why I never played that anno 2070 game I bought, besides constant crashes when I tried to launch.
Maybe AI will save them.
sensible chuckle
They tried with Anno 117, the backlash was delicious
The fact that they have shareholders means that they’re likely to keep rehashing old stuff.
Shareholders love “guaranteed” money, which is why movie studios keep making the same crap over and over again. It’s more stable.
It’s more stable, right up until it isn’t.

They also need to allow games to be more focused. Not every game needs to be an open world, crafter, rpg, treasure hunt.
