Forced 2FA Loses Ubisoft players.
Unfortunately Ubisoft is no Epic.
Forcing people to do 2FA is a step too far. It`s taking liberties with peoples freedom. Some of us don`t want to have you all up in our business & having our email for every game & some of us certainly don`t want you to have our phone no.s. What happened to user experience & OUR CHOICE if we want further security & 2FA & such.?
We already have to log into more & more things & platforms with our emails as it is & after dl`ing several of your games & playing a couple, I`m now uninstalling everything Ubisoft in annoyance.
Unless or until you stop invading our privacy more & more & trying to dig into us more & more with 2 factor this & whatever factor that to `secure` our accounts & tie us in more, then you can keep your Hyper Scape, Dauntless, (which I got trapped in, in just about 10 minutes, after climbing up a water shute & dropping in between some rocks in the 1st town/area) & Trackmania which I was kinda liking.
Hyper Scape may or may not be better than a plethora of other similar games; Fortnite, CRSED F.O.A.D, Apex Legends, The Cycle & a good few others but I guess I`ll never know now as you chose to demand 2FA to be able to play it. Unlike all those others that ain`t so up themselves to require 2FA, I guess you`ll never be as big as them either as any others like me will just play those instead that don`t shoot themselves in the foot asking for 2FA just to play them.!
Well I won`t be investing, (my time) I`m out. You`ve lost me on 3 games in 1 fell swoop & think of how many others I may have played. You may certainly get a few thousand that`ll do whatever it takes to play your games but with them they`re like sheep & will follow w/e you tell em to. You say jump, they say how high. Those of us with a bit more thought & character, intellect & awareness don`t like being herded, cast doubt upon nor appreciate needing to have to `Authenticate` ourselves to you.
Keep em & any of your other games that could well be pretty good. You don`t appreciate how some of us resent being manipulated by you & others trying to lock us in with all this `security` crap & other devices to tie us up & link in to this that & the other.
Some of us just wanna log in, once preferably & play a game. We don`t wanna be bugged with 2FA, signing up for any newsletters or jumping thru any other hoops just to get into the game.! The more discerning of us though can`t abide thousands of cookies, news & updates, email notifications & w/e else.
Some of us just wanna pick up & put down a game. We don`t wanna get married to you & have however many tendrils burrowing into all diff. parts of us & the strength of feeling some of us have about it is strong enough to drop you altogether as I am, including other games that don`t have the same requirements.
You can either take note or not & lose players/users as a result of trying to think for us with your granny state thinking.
You may well think, oh this 1 must be a hacker the way they be going on. Lol. That`s just the kinda paranoid over reaction that makes y`all dream up this stuff & to justify it.
I ain`t no hacker & if any o my accounts get hacked, I`m sure it won`t be nice but hey, it won`t be the end o the world. By the same token if there be hackers & they`re determined, then things like 2FA can only make things harder, it probably won`t stop them anyway. Just more hassle for us, the users in the meantime.
As if 1 ain`t already got enough damned passwords & stuff to remember as it is.!
Oh well, bye Ubisoft. It`s a damn shame as you`ve got some good titles but on the other side of things, I`ve already got too many games to play anyway, can do without Orchids in there too.!
I`ll go chill out now with a calming game of pool & later maybe jump into a no fuss to enter, Fortnite, (with all it`s crashes & bugs), maybe some Apex Legends after that. After uninstalling all my Ubisoft stuff I may have a look at what else I can dl in their place.
Wyz.
