Assassin’s Creed: Shadows can already be included in the list of the most problematic releases of 2025. Recently it became known that newcomers were working on the game when a new problem arose.
The gaming community on Steam drew attention to one of the clauses in the license agreement. According to the report, players should be given access to RAM monitoring so that the game can monitor third-party applications in the PC’s RAM and, if detected, send data to Ubisoft, including the owner’s IP address.
Many gamers did not like this clause in the agreement and accused Ubisoft of spying on users. The fact is that in this way the game gains access to user data, and in the event of a breach of the security system it can simply “leak”. This requirement cannot be waived; this is required to run Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
Monitoring RAM and sending information back to Ubisoft is a bit crazy.
The only logical explanation for this is that Ubisoft wants to be hated even more.
How the hell is this even legal?! Why is this necessary in a SINGLE game?!
To be honest, players rarely look at the user agreement when purchasing a particular game, but sometimes you can find much more interesting terms in it. But in the case of Assassin’s Creed: Shadows, distrust towards the project is so great that gamers begin to read every line.
Let us remind you that Assassin’s Creed: Shadows will be released on February 14 on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
Previously, the developers demonstrated the updated stealth in the game and talked about the mechanics in more detail.
