Ubi boycott

[Dr.Jeckyl]

that is good news. i would be hard pressed to find a time when UBI US did that.

I'm all for trying to raise awareness of issues that plague games or whatnot, but ... what are the issues you're having?

I for one love GRAW. I love the Splinter Cell series, and am about to finish the latest one. I'm sure I'd like R6: Vegas, and I'll be picking it up eventually. There's no way I'd boycott these games. As Mono said, I mostly play single player and don't have any issues.

As far as games coming out unfinished... welcome to the industry. It's not just Ubisoft that does this. All the players do. It's because patch distribution is getting easier and easier, even finding it's way to the consoles now.

ubi us will do little to nothing, and even if it does, it only takes the good - and often will ignore or reject the bad!  german, and uk are more willing than the rest in my opinon, but that doesnt mean a thing, because thats very little in the stubern face.

aramis - thats off topic, and if you want to know - you would goto his website to find out the topics he and others are having issues with (but ya you have a point - it should all be consolidated and even a power point presentation should be made available to show the sources for a meeting).

ubisoft does just want to make games for the xbox (and whatever else is easy to make games for). put little money in and get product out fast - make more money - dont support your game, if its on xbox its easier to cut the cost for support - one system to build for - not a million differnt hardware configs like the pc.  it should be simple enough to make a pc game with light amount of bugs, but then again it should be easy to patch them too, i dont think they really utilize many resources at all to do that.  its also hard to find a staff thats competent in that kind of field.  hell its hard to find coders that know how to make games with light problems in the first place.  this all could just be a staffing issue at ubisoft and they are hiring baboons (yes i belive this!) - but that is no excuse - its managements' and the upper head of the compainy that makes the decissions fault

If you're really annoyed by Ubi's support and you want to boycot them it's really simple. Just stop buying games. Period. Money talks. It's as simple as that. Less sales than expected means that you need to modify the product you produce to expand your market so it eventually will also include the potential customers who are not buying (read: boycot) the product.

I think lower sales on PC games will just mean to UBISoft that they should stop making PC games because there's no money in it.  They'd be dead wrong but they do a lot of stupid things (customer service wise) anyway.

The bean counters focus on the LCD and have blinders for the rest.  Logic doesn't enter into their minds, IMHO.  They just think that it's not worth the money to make PC games because they have a lower ROI than console games.  Even though they shoot themselves in the foot WRT PC games by shipping games that are buggy, unfinished and have features removed from sequels that made the original so popular.  Penny wise and pound foolish IMHO.

i thought RS Vegas was awesome. Maybe too tough in some spots, but overall the game rocked. I cant remember the last game i played all the way through. Maybe BFME, or HL2, that's it.
