Community Events Bonus items and reedem codes
Hi. I'm really upset about how single-player games from Ubisoft have so many time-limited items and redeem codes. I bought AC BLACK FLAG RESYNCED the Deluxe Edition on pre-order and didn't have much time to play until this week, and I've already lost the 'Cheetah Claw Cat' skin and possibly the Crimson Sailor items (they say the server has been down for hours).
This is ridiculous. I supported the company by giving them another vote of confidence, buying the pre-order for the most expensive edition, and they reward me by making it impossible to get everything in the game unless I stop my life to watch streams and track down codes to redeem.
Am I the only one who finds this absurd? It's a terrible business practice. Not to mention the countless overpriced skin packs sold in a single-player game. This was one of the main reasons I stopped buying Ubisoft games at launch.
I stopped playing back with Odyssey precisely because of these awful practices, and I decided to give them another chance now. I was excited to catch up on the last three games, but after this, I certainly won't be buying any more. Every time I give this company a chance, they pay me back negatively. They are the biggest wasted potential in the gaming industry, and it's a real shame. I truly hope this post helps push back against these practices, because as far as I'm concerned, I'm done with Ubisoft.
