Yeah I bought Anno 2205 on Steam last weekend. Was excited until I saw it installed and required me to log in to some Ubisoft app which now runs by my clock in the taskbar even after my game is closed. So cool. I’m glad it was clear to me ahead of time too that it requires that. Who am I kidding… none of that was told ahead of time and it pissed me off then and pisses me Off now.
