13 years on, Ubisoft adds Steam achievements to the one mainline Assassin's Creed game you can't actually buy, but not the updated version you can

    Man, screw this headline.

    Literally in the news post on Steam, it says:

    What About Assassin’s Creed III Remastered?

    Achievements for Assassin’s Creed III Remastered are coming soon!

    So while factually an accurate headline, it’s implying something else. More accurate would be 13 years on, Ubisoft adds Steam achievements to original Assassin’s Creed III, with achievements coming to AC III Remastered soon too.

    Disclaimer: I hate Ubisoup games and I haven’t bought a single game since Far Cry 3

    I bought Black Flag a few years ago during a steam sale because I heard it was good, but never got around to playing it.

    Last week I decided to finally give it a try. Got it downloaded, only to be asked to sign in with my UPlay account. Ok, pain in the ass, but whatever. Got my password reset and entered it in and then… Nothing. Login window closes, game does not launch.

    I scoured the internet looking for a solution and found a ton of people with the same issue. I also found many reported “fixes” that did not work for me, nor for anyone else judging by the numerous replies to each of them saying the “fixes” did nothing.

    So cool, and since I bought it years ago, it’s not like I can refund it. Guess I bought a game I won’t ever be able to play unless I decide to pirate it. Ironic. Thanks Ubisoft!

    Speaking of somewhat related things, wasn’t there a Steam bug not that long ago that allowed you to essentially be able to “buy” delisted games?
