Too late. Do companies really expect positive publicity from scrounging people then, once they made their money, going back on it?

It's just disrespectful and shows they view their customers as suckers.

Brave_Losers_Unite1610d ago

Even if they released the content for free, the game sucked anyway.

UltraNova1610d ago

They should have refunded everyone who bought this content as well then maybe we might talk about redemption and when they finish the game give it a try too. As it stands Ubi can take a hike for all I care.

I guess Ubisoft finally reached their....breaking point. I accept all forms of donations.

You guys should check ubisoft's merchandise store. You can get the statue shown in the thumbnail for 40% off. It's like $40 CAD (So not sure if U.S. has the same promotion but I would imagine so).. so worth. Just got mine last night and I would've easily paid $200 for it. Big statue well made with some weight to it.

I like the game. I stopped playing because far too many games came out soon after, but I will definitely go back to it soon, especially since they're making better. The current Ubisoft seems to want to fix things, this wouldn't have been the case a few years ago. This game will only get better imo.

Nicknasty1610d ago

I agree, every game is broken at release in one way or another. Its a good game i think. Just needs some update fixes is all.

DaveZero1610d ago

Agreed, my main problem with the game is only a few wolves come at you at a time, I want to be really hunted. Fights need more once you engage loudly, everything should come at you. Once your of a certain gearscore 'll the places you go apart from camp Kodiak I've found are easy.

This is why I keep telling gamers the importance of voting with your wallet. If this game was a financial success and still a critical failure I doubt they would of changed anything, as long as people keep buying they are going to do whatever they want this game's failure sent the message loud and clear.

That’s very generous. Thank you Ubisoft.

Microsoft should have left them stay 3rd party

GamerRN11h ago

If they are let go, they can be whatever they want. They ARE 3rd party now... 🤦

Barlos9h ago

Yeah, they're also jobless.

GamerRN2h ago

They can form a company if they want, they are just as jobless as if "Microsoft had left them as 3rd party".

"MIcrosoft leaves Bethesda do what they know how to do best" ... close! Oh the irony ....
(Citation from a week old article)

ChasterMies6m ago

I think Microsoft and other game publishers are letting people go because they think ai will replace them. Doesn’t matter how much profit they make. They were always going to be let go.

Bethesda France was made up of roughly 15 people... they couldn't of being doing much

Bethesda France mainly did publishing and marketing within the region

blacktiger11h ago

that's a shame for you to say that, i'm sure Elite loves hearing what you just said.

Profchaos13h ago(Edited 13h ago)

Bethesda France focused on publishing and marketing in the region. And 15 people lost their jobs as part of the closure.

I wonder if this is part of Microsoft's strategy to abandoned physical media or possibly gamepass advertising makes their roles redundant you don't need to market a game as hard when the majority of players get the game as part of a sub which already promoted upcoming games

Tacoboto13h ago

It's France too, there's a high likelihood only 1-2 people on the team even had an Xbox.

Profchaos13h ago

Possibly guven all the leaks we know the Xbox brand is really struggling in the region.

Yi-Long10h ago

Well, if your consoles and games are barely found in any stores any more, of course you're gonna struggle finding consumers ...

XiNatsuDragnel12h ago

Tbh Microsoft I think Bethesda being 3rd party same with Activision would probably more competitive than thus scenario imo

Profchaos10h ago(Edited 10h ago)

I think it would have been better for all parties really especially gamers

TheColbertinator11h ago

The recently purchased Activision French offices might take over all the licensing and marketing for Microsoft in France from now on.
