Ah, so this bullshit is even worse than I first thought. Killing the online stuff isn't just for multiplayer crap, it also kills DLC if one had bought it for those games.[1] The PC Gamer article here makes additional, better points, anyway. Regardless, this doesn't affect me, because Ubisoft sucks shit and has for years so I don't own any of those games, and as such I don't have a dog in this race, but still, just on general principle, I'll say again that this is fucking horseshit.
Actually... wait, I do own Far Cry 3. For... some reason. Never played it[2], though, and never had any intentions of playing it any time soon. Guess now I'll never even bother to try. *shrug*
[1] - Looking at that other post, the Eurogamer article does mention DLC, too. Though it just says "ability to buy DLC."
[2] - Or any other of the Far Cry games. I also apparently own 1, 2, and FC3: Blood Dragon on Steam... maybe I got a bundle or some shit at some point. I don't feel like bothering to check. *shrug* I never considered buying any of the later ones, due to Denuvo infestation.
