Did Uplay/Origin requirement ever stopped you from buying a game?

Quite a while ago, I bought a game called HawX and it was an arcade flight sim and it was kinda fun, at least fun enough for me to buy the sequel. So when I bought the sequel at launch, it had Uplay installed and oh look, I couldnt get it to play for 2 weeks... $60 game... Can't get it to play for 2 weeks cause their servers sucked... And even after that, I still couldn't get it to work all the time. Plus it required me to be always online even for the single player mode and when I went offline for like a second cause my wifi back then had a hiccup, bam disconnected, kicked from the game and lost my save progress.... Fuck that shit

That sounds terrible. How they can get away with something like that is beyond me. A few years ago, when I had it installed on my PC (I now have a semi-decent laptop) and wanted to play Heroes of Might and Magic 6, I'd get disconnected in the middle of a long battle and lose all my progress. The only difference was, there was an offline mode, but you didn't get some really strong items that could help you with the game. So despite being constantly infuriated, like a person stuck in an abusive relationship I'd go back to online mode and risk losing my progress again.

Le sigh...

But anyway, thanks for replying. I'll try to make sure there is an offline for the games I bought before trying to play them.

Yea I stopped supporting Ubisoft games that had Uplay completely after that experience cause specially back then when I had limited money, I spent it on a game that I couldn't even get running made me lose all faith in that Company since considering that they couldn't even get Tetris running on a ps4 without making it lag, my faith on them certainly won't be returning anytime soon. Least yours had an offline mode but mine didn't T_T

But yea, no worries. I pretty much uninstalled Uplay and the only games I really have on it are the free games that I get from Nvidia from buying their GPUs
