MODERATORS
Companies realized they can sell cheats as microtransactions instead and people will pay for them. They will likely also include some cosmetic microtransactions like their previous game, which they definitely don't want people just cheating in. It's why so many single player games require being always online as well.
"Cheating in", aka doing something with the thing you paid for that you want to do with it. Fuck this company.
You're not even paying for cheats in a ubisoft game, you're just buying back the time they added in with pointless grind so you can play through the short storyline without having to run fetch quests for an extra 50 hours to pass through the level gates.
