Wait. Ubisoft advancing PC gaming by ditching XP support?
Which is weird because they’re still using DX9.
They’re going to cause confusion with those reqs, many people won’t know that a shader model 4.0 card is advertised mainly as a Direct X 10 card, by saying a Direct X 9.0c complaint GPU with Shader Model 4.0 support, they’re going to confuse lots of people. Not sure why they didn’t just say a DX10 card.
I think it’s just them saying “You’re on your own if you’re running XP”. I expect AC3 to work on XP but Ubisoft not officially giving support for it (since it’s too bloody old to spend the time on)
The always-on DRM thing is pretty muddy these days isn’t it? Sure, UBI drm was invasive nonsense on single player games like Assassins Creed 2 – but since Brotherhood / Revelations added multi the DRM was redundant anyway since you were connecting to their servers no matter what for multi.
They may put on a big show about the DRM being ‘gone’ – but if you do anything but singleplayer it’s still phoning home in a big way.
