How so, you ask? Well, according to Ubisoft, they allow for a more unique experience by letting players personalize their characters or speed up progression.

Yeah, just unlocking more personalization options through progression and challenges is such a dull concept. Or simply adding cheats as a way to speed up progession just like it used to be, is such an outdated concept...

Fuck Ubisoft, I'm so glad I stopped paying for their games.
