Yeah, the technical error of enabling them before they meant to. Anyone who’s stupid enough to have bought a Ubisoft game in the past decade deserves this shit. There’s so much excuse-making about the way gaming companies are going, that they can all get fucked. I hope they enjoy their full screen ads.
They didn’t accidentally code everything for this, test it, put it in updates, etc. That was all on purpose, and they ‘accidentally’ enabled it to measure how much outrage was generated. If people make excuses for this shit now, it WILL be coming as a permanent “feature”.
Absolutely correct.
It’s the old “let’s do it and measure outrage”. Companies have figured out how to slide things into the mainstream now.
Give it a bit, see how F2P games are gonna start doing things like “enable ads for 50% more coins” and then… Few years later, its standard.
Just sucks and it’s so tiring to always have to be researching and be aware of everything, all the time. I just want to play my damn game, man…
A technical error doesn’t result in popup ads. The code had to already be there.
Fuck Ubisoft and fuck greedy corporations!
