RIP to the last day of the free trial. Worked fine yesterday, installed before going to bed and played about 2 hours with no problems.

I wanted to put at least a few more hours in today before deciding to buy it. Guess I ain't buying it.

Tried several things, Ubisoft doesn't even let you play the campaign in offline mode, so there's literally no way to play for me right now.

Now I'm reading that apparently all of Ubisoft connect is having issues...meh. Well hopefully they extend the trial

They don't allow you to play Anno 1800 in offline mode, even the campaign, do your own research before you spew bullshit.

Why would I buy a game that doesn't let you stay connected for more than 10 minutes when I was testing it out?

While I understand the frustration about the current issues with Ubisoft Connect which also impact Anno 1800, the part about the offline mode is simply not true. Anno 1800 can be played (sandbox + campaign) when using Ubisoft Connect's offline mode.
