Wow, good on Ubisoft. I usually don't trust them, so I do wonder if they are trying something shitty, but this seems cool.

A lot of game launchers can already be skipped by putting:
--skip-launcher
In the game properties under steam

in future their games will hook into the smaller Ubisoft Connect Services

It’s still a turd sandwich but a smaller one.

They are installing a new package through steam, "Ubisoft Connect Services" and are trialing it alongside Prince of Persia and so I removed both when I saw the download pop up. I'm so done with Ubisoft, triple a in general, and spyware entirely.

I need a script to put that into every goddamn game on steam and another to auto refund any game it doesn't work with. I'm tired of dragging out the m+kb from the couch

My man. I have also been fighting with Windows DPI scaling on a 4k TV, and some games wanting to be 300% larger than my screen. I have to go into compatibility settings and tell those games to ignore Windows scaling. Can this tool manage that too?
