Game Online from forced free, Ubisoft Uplay program nevertheless remains necessary

I bought the game because I've read on the internet that the online compulsion has now been turned off.
Unfortunately, however a shortcut to the Ubisoft account is required.
The product key is then linked to this Ubisoft account and can only be used by the original purchaser. With a resale, the new buyer must purchase the product key again for about 20 euros.

In addition, you can not start the game from the desktop. It is therefor an additional installtion a program required that calls itself U-Play. This only works with a Ubisoft account, which you have to invest online. First you have to start this program and only then can select the game to start it there. Außderem you have to enter each time his access to Ubisoft. This computer can even remember, but the prompt will appear each time.

All in all quite complicated and not very user-friendly fall. I bought the game, now I have to prove my identity each time you start. Abnormally.

As if that were not enough, I recently received an email from Ubisoft that Bentuzerkonten hacked and all email data had been stolen. One should change his password and also wherever you have otherwise used this password.

Ironically, I can say nothing, because I have played a maximum of half an hour more than the game itself.
Much more time I have to install the additional program and then change all passwords for the used for setting up the Ubisoft account. What a pity.

On the ertsten view the game made a reasonable impression. There was also a decent tutorial (manual) how to play.

Another note: I had created on Mac with Boot Camp Windows partition. When you download the file appeared to 4GB to note that the download was aborted. Amazon could not help me. I had at the time even Windows XP. In the product description was also announced that this is compatible. Unfortunately, my operating system did not support downloads / files that were larger than 4 GB. I then converts a USB stick in the UMTS format and could then save the target file. After unpacking only smaller files were on the stick. For me this was a bit of a challenge.
