One day there was an update and the game forgot my credentials. I hadn't saved them anywhere (being naive at the time) so I never played the game again even though I was fond of it.
When you write an app, treat saved credentials very, very carefully. Losing them may mean you lose a customer.
And never buy from Ubisoft.
Edit: Wow--just checked and they're still selling this game, even with this egregious hang.
Pretty sure that Gog's "DRM control" would have rejected this game ?
Even better to buy directly from the devs, or from small publishers, like Matrix/Slitherine - but keep an eye out for them turning big and evil, like (Micro)ActiBlizz.
(Another issue is platform-tied features that make you a second-class citizen : never buy games that have a Steam Workshop or use Steam Multiplayer.)
I’ll probably be kicking myself if Valve ever gets sold, but I’m pretty happy with it for now.
Yep, and I basically lost my (legal) access to Heroes of Might and Magic 6 when they updated their store/launcher...
