Ubisoft is letting gamers play For Honor free starting today and running through Sunday or Monday, depending on your platform, during which time you can also purchase the title for a deep discount.

With a game entitled For Honor, you would think that gamers would in fact show some dignity and honor when it comes to playing. However, that might be a little too much to ask, as Ubisoft earlier this month said that it would begin cracking down on what it calls AFK Farming. In case you didn’t know, AFK stands for “Away From Keyboard” and in For Honor, AFK Farming refers to gamers who use sneaky methods to earn in-game loot.
