Apparently the Ubisoft servers are down so I cannot play SINGLE PLAYER Breakpoint.

I don’t even want to play the game online. I just enjoy running around in single player. Why they haven’t dropped an offline patch yet?

For the same reason that YouTube music refuses to play offline content stored on your phone until there’s a live internet connection - particularly helpful when you’re outside of coverage.

That reason is that you are the product and playing without being tracked doesn’t make any money.

No, it’s not the same; not even slightly! Youtube Music is a monthly subscription, whereas Ubisoft presents the transaction as a sale. Ubisoft has no right to gatekeep your property away from you.

I’m not saying that the two are the same.

I’m pointing out that you are prevented from using either service offline because they want to track your behaviour in order to monetize your data.

Yeah, I get by that by downloading the song and listening to it offline

Unless something has recently changed, I was unable to play music that was downloaded inside YouTube music but refused to play if there was no internet access.

I mean I copied the link of the music, used a youtube downloader and listen to it that way. The Youtube music App is broken AF.

You need to be a YouTube Music premium subscriber for true offline playback.
