I’ve long resisted the gaming consoles, but gave up when the Horizon Forbidden West came out. To be honest, I was kinda excited. Imagine just putting a game in and playing right away… I could finally just play the game instead of role-playing an unpaid quality assurance employee!
Let’s just say the setup procedure for my PS5 was not like that at all. Took me half a day to make it running stable. And the Assassin’s Creed game that came with the console had the same fucking mandatory login form as on the PC! Except there was no keyboard…

And this is why Ubisoft is still a thing. They come up with outrageous demands and people eventually capitulate and do whatever they say. Once foot is in the door all sins are equal at that point. Visual downgrades, day one DLCs, paid XP boosters for game intentionally made grindier, special editions, etc.
