Ubisoft Taunts Software pirates with missing FOV control in Far Cry 4

Ubisoft is taking a smear out of software pirates by disabling FOV control on illegal downloaded versions of Far Cry 4. A good number of players are complaining online about the lack of field of view control, it turns out Ubisoft disabled this feature via a day-one patch to troll pirates. Well, good on them, if you play the game then just buy it.

Developers have trolled pirates with game-crippling devices in the past. Most recently, The Sims 4 put an ever-growing pixelated blur on the screen of pirated copies. Other examples include the notorious immortal pink scorpion of Serious Sam: BFE, and Game Dev Tycoon, in which pirates have their virtual games virtually pirated until their studio goes out of business.

I used to be a pirate like you, but then I took a Steam sale in the knee.

Now, seriously, if you think the game is expensive now, just wait for it to be on sale or until next year, when it'll be half the price. Easy as that!

Who cares, let them play with no FOV. It gives eye seizures playing like that.

pc gamers show ubisoft the kind of contempt ubisoft show PC gamers. We use pirate versions to test your ****. Make the games properly and we may pay for them. Get rid of uplay for a ****ing start.
