Yes, I have planned to do a follow-up to my prior two Watchdogs threads, and will probably get around to it later today.
However, their questionable decision to force me to click through three pages of SIGN UP TO THE UBISOFT DATAWAREHOUSE before i can cancel out of the account-bullying. If you don’t want to be thrown back to the initial loading screen multiple times,
you have to
- confirm you want to join
- choose to sign in with an existing account
- cancel out with B, instead of Y, which just goes back to the previous screen
That BS left me sour on the whole game for the whole evening, and I stopped playing after half an hour or so.
Luckily I don’t have a twitter account, or i would have gone to war about this, since if you think about it, it perfectly matches the inclusion of their accessability functionality, so no, that is no accidént:
someone made sure to not tell the stupid peasant how to avoid their account-dreck, therefore text-to-speech must not give away how to circumvent it - meaning you have to be creative to skirt around it, and when you DO HAVE accessability issues, hey, what’s better than being bullied into signing up to an online service. Checks out in a game that is about hacking and privacy!
