Wasn't it revealed that the reason for later AC release on PC is mainly to delay piracy?

I wish they'd just take an extra year to make it extra good. The last few Assassins Creed's have been pretty 'eh'.

Or to inexplicably blame piracy for the PC version not seeing the same sales numbers in a week as the console versions saw in the delay period.

maybe they're busy downgrading the graphics :v:

If you need to delay it, then delay it; it will help the game a lot in the long run. Who gives a shit if some people complain, those people will still buy it anyways. You also attract more customers with a quality product.

remember back when some journalist went "so when are you guys delaying AC3 on PC" and then the ubisoft guy was like "what? no way, we're not delaying the PC version at all!!"

and then it happened and the game ran like shit and was bad anyways

It'll happen again and we fucking know it. Ubi can't deliver what they promise. Best game they've made is probably FC3

Best game they've made was the original Far Cry.

That one was made by Crytek.

The last time they scrambled to get a game released "on time" was AC3, and we all know how much of a disaster that turned out to be. But at the same time, Watch_Dogs was delayed by approximately six months and that turned out to be an even bigger train wreck. These people just can't win no matter how hard they try.

I am just wondering why so many of these companies have moronic executives pulling these strings

like, could at least one guy of average intelligence and a firm grip of reality get through for once

Delay is probably because they don't even factor in their PC port development into their actual development stages, and just whack it together after the console release for a little extra cash from PC. Since most of the dosh comes from console purchases.

I wouldn't say they're trying too hard.
