You can't even do that these days. Some games are released like cyberpunk 0277, then a couple years later they're awesome. Some games release and add in bullshit later. Ubisoft would not surprise me here.

Immortal Phoenix rising was the last Ubisoft game I bought and I didn't realize it was Ubisoft at the time. I was immediately reminded why I didn't like Ubisoft. I bought it on switch, it forces an account creation and login to play local. It's on a switch, you bloody morons, if I'm on an airplane I'm not going to want to go through a damn connect to online services song and dance. It's also a single player game, so...

In the end I found a workaround. Because you can't have airplane mode enabled to play switch docked, I had to enter the game in handheld mode with airplane mode on, go through the song and dance about being unable to connect, then dock my switch and disable airplane mode. Like what the fuck? Just let me play the damn game I paid for.

Fuck Ubisoft. Terrible studio.
