What did you expect from a company whose logo is a turd seen from above!
I already don't buy Ubisoft games. Which of you spineless lukes is bankrolling this crap?
I'm so behind companies doing this because too many people accept ads in every other part of their life and then act surprised when they get more ads showing up. It would be nice if this stuff woke people up.
You can't pick and choose. You have to reject all ads. They're a cancer we let it metastasize

Take it back...call it defective. Fuck that shit, I don't care how good the game is, they're not getting my money ever again.
Yet another reason to continue my boycott of Ubisoft.
I wouldn't say I'm consciously boycotting Ubisoft, personally. But I sure as hell haven't bought one of their games for a long time, and with the way they've been going as a company in general, I can't see myself buying anything from them in the near future. If they do release something worth buying then I'll consider it, though.

I might be wrong, but don't they plan or already do put anticheat into single player games so people don't cheat-in the various ingame currencies they have to buy XP boosts (where without them leveing is a crawl)?
There thou art... The Big Three. Thy faces, AAA Publishers. Thy actions barely worthy of the name. Didst truly believe thy ploy would succeed? Dist believe Jolly Roger's would not notice? Publishers thou may be, yet thou hast proven thyselves fools, every one. The supplication of Ubisoft. The whimper of Activision. The death mewl of Electronic Arts...
