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.

    A word to the wise, as you say you don’t normally buy games - do double check whether your Mac is new enough for the game. I don’t know exactly how specs work on mac, but I would hazard a guess that anything older than, say, 2019, won’t be able to play it.
