Six titles in total will be unplayable during the transition with an even split on PC and Mac. H.A.W.X. 2, Might & Magic : Heroes VI and The Settlers 7: Paths to a Kingdom are named.
It’s because of Ubisoft’s always-on DRM system that these six titles be inaccessible. Fortunately the pool of those affected is rather small. Offline modes are said to be okay.
”Starting February 7, Ubisoft will be transitioning the hosting of many of its online services from a third-party data center to a new facility. During the transition, some Ubisoft services and online games will not be available,” said Ubisoft.
