    Ubisoft can go fuck themselves with their little “accident”. I haven’t bought one of their games in years amd this greedy corpo shit paired with lackluster games is exactly why.

      Well said!

      Last game I bought was crew 1 for 5€ many years ago. All the games I have were redeemed using amazon gaming.

        I purchased R6S years ago and it’s gotten nothing but worse over time.

          I also purchased that. One of the worst purchases I ever made.

          That game is nothing but sweaty try hards. No thanks!

      You don’t - it’s a bullshit excuse. It’s like a 5 year old with their hand in the cookie jar saying “I didn’t mean to do it.” Yes you did, little Jimmy, what you didn’t mean to do was get caught. Now blow that idea up to a greedy, unethical, billion dollar corporation.

        Rhetorical question haha, I know it’s bullshit. Popups take effort to create, you can’t just accidentally add them.

    A technical error doesn’t result in popup ads. The code had to already be there.

    Ubisoft says it was trying to put an ad for Assassin’s Creed Mirage in the main menu of other Assassin’s Creed games. However, a “technical error” caused the promotion to show up on in-game menus instead. Ubisoft says the issue has since been fixed

    So they fully planned to roll out full screen pop up ads, it was just supposed to be in the main menu, not in-game. Fuckers.

    This is why I don’t play AAA games.

    Obviously coding this up isn’t accidental, so I guess they mean that activating the feature was accidental (not very reassuring) but also it’s kind of hard to believe that even that was accidental. Any very basic QA would have prevented that. It was probably deliberately testing the waters.
