Anno’s DRM was particularly annoying and had to phone home each time I played. This would have been fine if Ubisoft ran a reliable server, which it didn’t. Once I sat down to play and the game refused to open because it couldn’t phone home.

I then learned my lesson, have not played the game since, and will never buy any Ubisoft product. Too bad, it was a nice game, maybe I would have bought some DLC. But I’m sure the pirates are still getting plenty of DLC. Instead I play Factorio and Paradox games and spend money on their DLC.
