Might & Magic® Heroes® VII

I’d genuinely recommend this game if one of its core features actually worked — you know, like LAN or online co-op, the thing many of us bought it for. But even with community patches, the game consistently crashes after 1.5–2 months of in-game time. According to modders, it’s been a known issue since launch — and worse, it’s unfixable without source-level access. In other words: the devs broke it, left it broken, and never came back. And that leads us to the real culprit: Ubisoft — the master of promising polish and delivering rot. Year after year of half-finished projects, live-service schemes, and a complete abandonment of actual game integrity. Co-op doesn’t work? Too bad. Game-breaking bugs? Live with it. Community cries? Ignored. If you thought EA was bad, Ubisoft is the rotting carcass of a once-great studio, and somehow still manages to smell worse. And now here comes Tencent, creeping up with its 40% stake. Great. Just what we need — the same company that gutted League of Legends, sucked it dry, and turned competitive passion into monetized chaos. People like to debate about the “lesser evil” in corporate gaming, but as Geralt said: "Evil is evil. Lesser, greater, middling… it makes no difference." There are no good hands left guiding this game, and no excuse for letting a core mechanic sit broken for over a decade. Ubisoft didn’t care, Tencent won’t care, and we’re left with what could have been — a good game, buried under publisher apathy and corporate rot.

The game doesn't start, it needs "UbiSoftConnect", waste of money, thanks for nothing....

Shouldn't need a third party app to play games if bought from steam. Ubisoft connect is trash, Ubisoft itself is garbage tier and constant online connection for a singleplayer is outrageous.

If you purchase this game in 2025 even on deep discount for $7 you are a fool. It is abandonware. Networking & multiplayer absolutely never worked correctly EVER and like others have noted it crashes, doesn't load, forces you to use the Ubisoft launcher which wreaks havoc on your system. Most of my play hours are from years ago, but every year or two I come back to load it up to see if they have fixed it seeing as they still sell it and the answer is a RESOUNDING NOPE.

Ubisoft destroying my once upon a time favourite IP by making games unplayable due to their useless launcher. Can't even start the game, utter garbage.

the game installs a garbage launcher of the trash ubisoft company and does not work without it, the game cannot be played without installing the launcher. This is terrible. The ubisoft company has 10-15 years left to live in the best case, after the company goes bankrupt and their launcher no longer works, the game cannot be launched at all, that's why I hate it so much when buying a game in the steam launcher, the game installs other online launcher, which requires mandatory registration, in fact, when buying a game on steam you only buy an icon for your library because everything goes through the ubisoft launcher, but then what's the point of buying a game here if it was previously distributed in the ubisoft launcher for free :/

Hey, How would you like it if you prefered Steam because you dispise developers that force you to have to own their everything to play their slot machine oriented games? Well they sell their games to Steam also. Ubisoft launcher manditory. No thanks, ide rather not play the game I paid for and leave a bad review about Ubisoft.
