Thanks, that means no sale from me.
Why UBI insists to force offline players into a system mainly geared for online players (“Friendslist, Matchmaking and so on”) is beyond me. It’s like upon installing CoD to be forced to install an “UBI Internet Explorer Toolbar”- unnecessary third party bloatware that will not touch my system.

Ahh that’s a shame I was looking forward to trying it. No dynamic campaign, plus requirement of a parasitic third party program now.
I was trying to overlook the naysayers about the flight model, the graphic models, the possible bugs on launch etc but this nails the coffin shame I was going to buy it.
I guess with DCS and Rise of Flight I’ll have plenty of content to keep my hands full.
Note that Rise of Flight prevents cheats and is able to handle the login process itself, without needing some third party crap like Steam. It also has a dynamic campaign about to release.
DCS also has integrity checks online and no cheats, without third party companies like steam getting their fingers into your computer.
There is no need for Steam unless people want to BUY games with Steam.
