Ubisoft the Unity

Anyone else enjoying the show?

Reviewing shenanigans with reviewers getting faked builds they were blocked from reporting on before ship (Really?)

Microtransactions up through to 1.5 times the games price, effectively covering cheat codes?  Not even costumes or color schemes or other silliness, but 'Did you find this Collectible?  75 cents.'

'free' Microtransaction points for buying bigger chunks of microtransaction currency?

Seriously, this has corporate pressure cooker all over it.

Yeah, someone wants mo' money more than a quality game. Sounds like that to me, anyway.
