They could fix this by offering the owners a copy of AC3 Remastered which includes AC Liberation Remastered. But it definitely sets an uncomfortable precedent either way.
no, liberation got a release on ps3,360 and pc in 2014, it was then rereleased on ps4/xbox one/switch and pc in 2019 as part of the ac3 remasterHopefully the console version included with 3 is safe. It's still saying it comes with 3 on Nintendo's site:
Assassin's Creed® III: Remastered for Nintendo Switch - Nintendo Official Site
Buy Assassin's Creed® III: Remastered and shop other great Nintendo products online at the official My Nintendo Store.www.nintendo.com
Wait, was this 2-pack only on Switch and separate on other platforms?
Liberation HD (the 2014 version being delisted & was sold separately) is not the same as Liberation Remastered (the 2019 version packed in with AC3 Remastered).Wait, was this 2-pack only on Switch and separate on other platforms?
...Really? Huh, what were the major differences? Just funny that it's a remaster... of a remaster. :PLiberation HD (the 2014 version being delisted & was sold separately) is not the same as Liberation Remastered (the 2019 version packed in with AC3 Remastered).
Basically the HD version was just a direct Vita port. Remastered added better resolution, frame rate, improved lighting and reflections and such....Really? Huh, what were the major differences? Just funny that it's a remaster... of a remaster. :P

Great move by Ubisoft, now delist the rest of them and we're all good 🙏
Dark Spores not really a 1:1 example since it was actually doing stuff server side (which has been a hurdle in getting a fan-made offline version going) compared to here where Im pretty sure its just authentication checks
only for online mulitplayerYou also can't play your physical copies on PS3/360, they are shutting it down
Bold of you to imagine US regulators doing anything about this.I would not be too worried about this. The backlash from both consumers and the potential to upset both eu, us, and uk regulatory bodies will reverse this course.

at most, ubisoft will just give owners of the steam versions of the game a free copy of ac3 remasteredI would not be too worried about this. The backlash from both consumers and the potential to upset both eu, us, and uk regulatory bodies will reverse this course.
Hence why I'm so gung-ho on physicals. I bought both Pure and Split Second on PC during a sale Amazon had eons ago. Just a crazy ordeal that I have had this year that solidified my stance on this.
I got the urge to play Split Second on PC. I bought the games many moons ago on Amazon. I have the 360 versions as well.
but I read that there was a 60fps patch for PC released a few years ago that I wanted to try for Split Second.
The problem was that this game needs to contact securom servers to authenticate. They no longer exist so unless you have the game installed before the servers went offline, you are SOL forever.
I reached out to Disney, sending these as proof of purchase, asking if there was a remedy for both this and Pure on PC.
Was told in a nice, corporate way to kick rocks. See below
There is a no-CD exe of both games out there but the problem for split second specifically is that it is for version 1.0 and while I can download Spilt Second from Amazon still, it is version 1.x. I said fuck it, went to hit up some torrent sites, found the game, downloaded it, finally got it working. Next day, wake up with a DMCA notice in my email from Comcast.
I got knocked for pirating a game I fucking own. However, if that way didn't exist, it'd be a game lost to time.
Note the dates, The House of Mouse moves fast. This should never happen though. Locking down a game that is only playable through pirated means shows that Disney should have planned better.
