They really did it: Ubisoft founded a secondary company and Tencent bought 25% of its shares for โฌ1.16B. The idea behind the company is that it now owns Assassinโs Creed, Far Cry, Tom Clancyโs Rainbow Six, and some other IPs.
This sounds slightly odd, since the new company worth more than 4 Billion, while the Ubisoft itself is around 2 Billion.

Meanwhile, Ubisoft censored the topless priestesses in Far Cry 4 with the new patch. The patch is generally good and fixes a lot of bugs, but ladies were lore-accurate, since it was a part of their beliefs.
Oh, and they broke fan-mods installer + added at least 10 new bugs that people noticed in the first couple of hours.
UPD: The changes were rolled back and appeared to be a mistake โ the censored version was for Japan only.

It takes SEVERAL MINUTES to load up all the gear (that I have from a better edition and from owning other games) before I can actually play.
It shows all items by small chunks of 3 and makes pop-up sound for all of them.
Who approved that?
Jeez...

So, Assassin's Creed Odyssey is vast, insanely beautiful, and much better written than Valhalla in terms of dialogues. And cities are just magical, simply walking around is the experience.
And it's on sale for yet another week: https://store.steampowered.com/app/812140/Assassins_Creed_Odyssey/

The Crew 2 just received the hybrid-offline mode! Same as they promised after the scandal with The Crew being delisted.
You have 2 choices:
โข Start an entirely new game save purely in offline mode.
โข Import your online save to an offline/local save.
โข Only one local save is supported, so a new one will re-write the previous one (for example, if you export online one again)
โข When launching the game, if your console or PC is connected to the internet, you'll be able to select whether to play online or offline.
โข If no internet connection is detected, the game will automatically launch in Offline Mode.
BUT the game still boots up BattleEye for some reason.
