    I saw my wife playing this years ago, and always fancied having a go, but never got around to it.

    So a few months back we got it going so it could stream to our Apple TV and off I went. Spent a few weeks playing it in the evenings and having a nice time.

    Then Ubisoft put out an ‘update’ to it, that broke it completely. A massive update for a ten year old game. Cunts.

    So I guess I’ll never finish it, because fuck Ubisoft.

      Not really an advocate for piracy but I wouldn’t have any qualms about recommending that route to you.

        Is it piracy? He owns a license for the game.

        Are Ubisoft or Rockstart Games pirates for using scene cracks themselves?

          Technically it’s not.

          They don’t even need a new copy of the game, just the cracked .exe file.

          Are Ubisoft or Rockstart Games pirates for using scene cracks themselves?

          Arguably so, as they did not get the scene group’s permission to redistribute their works.

      I wouldn’t stress it; you didn’t miss much. Like every modern Ubisoft title, the game was very repetitive. You had enough playtime to see everything the game had to offer.
