Ubisoft Connect Outage Locks Players Out of Black Flag Resynced

This past weekend, an Ubisoft Connect outage prevented thousands of PC players from launching Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced — a game they had purchased and downloaded. The incident is technically routine, but politically revealing: when a mandatory launcher goes down, the player owns nothing. It's exactly the scenario physical media advocates have been warning about for years. This time it happened to a freshly released Ubisoft title at the worst possible moment.
