    It does require you to use Ubisoft Connect, but it’s already embedded with the Steam download. You also still need to link your Connect account to Steam.

    It just doesn’t require you to download & install it separately.

    What are the chances that the launcher gets patched in after release? Wouldn’t be the first time.

    They still require you to have an account and its running an embedded version of the launcher anyway. Surely peoples issues with the launcher isn’t mainly “I don’t want to have to have another application installed” and is more “I dont want to make an account with yet another company and have them harvesting my data”

    Good step. Can they go back and also remove the launcher requirements for some of their older games too?

    I honestly don’t understand how these publishers don’t understand that foregoing their tumorous launchers and trackers would lead to a ridiculous amount of good publicity and a much-needed uptick in everyone’s perception of them…
