Is Assassin's creed shadows going to be some free to play bullshit or will I be able to just buy it? (lemmy.ml)

I don't really buy games much these days. I was trying to see what games would work on Mac and was pleased to see a new Assassin's Creed game is coming out on Mac natively. I was pretty stoked with this news, I've never played any of the AC games but they've always looked good.

I thought I'd check the Apple App Store to see if there were any other AC games that might already be out and there was only one option (actually on some 'App Store Preview' thing not the actual app store), called Assassin's Creed Mirage. It was listed as free to play with in-app-purchases. I'm really just not participating in that, can't stand that shit. I don't think I've actually bought any Ubisoft games since the Nintendo 64, are they all like this or is that just some unfortunate anomaly? I noticed also that it'd listed them collecting data about me, which, WTF?

Keen to wait till November for AC Shadows but not if it's going to be any of that nonsense.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think Mirage on the App Store is a trial version with the ability to buy the full version, which is why it's listed as free to play with micro transaction.

Yeah, Mirage is not a free to play game. Must be a trial version, with option to buy the full game.
