For anyone who's ever been frustrated by the need to go online to play a single-player video game, the European privacy specialists at noyb have heard you, and they've filed a complaint against Ubisoft in Austria dealing specifically with the issue.
Noyb has asked Austrian data protection authorities to investigate the French game studio, which publishes titles in popular series including Far Cry, Assassin's Creed, Watch Dogs, and others, for violations of article 6(1) of the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for forcing players online when a game doesn't have any online functionality.
