I can get behind these picks!

Contains a look back to 2025, confirmation of 2026 release (date TBD), main theme of the soundtrack, and a small teaser with some characters of the game being shown.

TL;DR: If Assassin’s Creed Shadows links to the wrong Ubisoft account on first launch, even a Steam refund and rebuy will not fix it. Ubisoft support says the license is permanently bound and cannot be removed, transferred, or reset.

Hey everyone,

Posting this as both a PSA and a bit of a rant after an entire day of back and forth with Ubisoft Support.

I bought Assassin’s Creed Shadows on Steam and during first launch it accidentally linked to an old Ubisoft Connect account that I no longer use. This exact thing has happened to me before with AC Origins, Odyssey, and Mirage. In all those cases, a Steam refund and rebuy fixed it and let me link the game to the correct Ubisoft account.

So I did the same here.

I refunded the game on Steam, unlinked my Steam account from the old Ubisoft account, made sure Steam was linked to my correct Ubisoft account, and repurchased the game. Despite all that, the license still automatically linked itself back to the old Ubisoft account.

I know I’,m late to the party, but just saw a video on upcoming games for 2026 and was surprised to learn Max Payne remake is happening, and did a deep dive.

Was again surprised to learn Alan Wake 2 was partly or majorly funded by Epic Games which explains why it isn’t on Steam.

I know they released a game FBC Firebreak that didn’t do well, I didn’t even know about it until SHTF, but AW2 was released before Firebreak. Did they have outside devs working on it, if not, why did they need funding from Epic even before Firebreak was released and subsequently received less than anticpated sales?

I thought Remedy was in good shape financially and if I’m not mistaken after all the games they’ve released to critical and commercial acclaim, even if they are just a small dev team out of Sweden.

Any details on why they had to broker a deal with Epic for AW2 to happen?

I think I’ve found it

My fiancé who is not a gamer ran into our office while I was playing last night with some friends. The look on her face, she seemed very concerned. I asked her:

“What’s up? Everything okay?”

“What the hell is goop and why are sticking it up your ass?”

She then proceeded to get the whole rundown on extraction shooters.

Totally made me realize how silly this game must sound from the outside haha

Edit: the amount of people upset about the term “goop” is hilarious. Just a funny term, and if it bothers you that much, you’re probably more immature than the people who use the term haha Also, Peanut did not invent the term goop

Love the game, hate how shit I am at PVP.

Despite being about 60-70 hours in, I’m still absolute dog shit at PVP. I maybe win 1 out of 5 duels - and that’s usually down to luck.

I hate being a slow, plodding, unbalanced potato of a fighter. I feel agonizingly slow to react, compared to other players - tripping over my own feet and getting wasted in seconds. I also suck at picking up audio cues from incoming raiders, somehow.

Besides just playing the game more, what are some key tips to get gud at the PVP part?

Buy better weapons? Avoid specific maps? Use certain audio / game settings? Be more patient and calculating?

Or just Free Loadout and get wrecked until I learn how the hell this is done?

Cheers for any answers and good luck out there, Raiders.

Edit: Neat, tons of answers! Thanks guys, will go through this and try to absorb the knowledge. Much in the same way I usually absorb bullets.

I myself am a long-time Helldivers 2 player, but Arc Raiders filled the void that HD2 couldn’t.

After I got this the next game I got the Wolfpack BP. Got the Anvil on Stella and Wolf on Spaceport in a computer. Just wanted to share since I have no friends that play!

That is all.
