That's easy, you can't buy them because according to Ubisoft you won't own them.

If buying isn't owning, then piracy isn't stealing.

And I’ll say it again, dumb “quotation” because it only referred to convincing people to try Ubisoft+; which is very explicitly a game rental system.

(Setting aside the change going in through California law where ALL retailers must stop referring to sales as ownership. That affects Assassin’s Creed just as much as your next indie Roguelike)
