UBI passes Epi filter debacle cost onto customers?

So, whenever it is you install the game, your version will be the same as everybody else's. You can choose to disable future updates if you like but not with the initial install.

Excuse me, but i have to pay £1 per GB that i download. I dont mind downloading 500MB patches, but i wanted to buy a DVD and install the Game, then patch it. Are you telling me that on top of the £30 to buy the game, i have to pay an additional £10 or so to download it?

I feel sorry for you, I really do.

No wonder Oleg has had enough what with you lot ******* and moaning.

Why not moan about the cost of the electric to play the game too?

I would think you will only be required to download the differences and the steam client, the steam and DVD games will be much the same, although I am only guessing of course.

This takes ranting to a new level. In fact, UBI passes cost for updates on to no one.

Seriously: It's not UBI's fault if you have a paid-volume internet connection. Correct me if I am wrong, and someone forced oyu into this. Then I do feel sorry. Nevertheless, I don't recommend a lawsuit.

Somebody want cheese with their whine?

Yep im with BT Option 1. But i always use up my entire 10GB quota. This would mean i go over by the size of the game.

Nobody forced me to be on this ISP package. Im unemployed at the moment, so i'm only eating 1 meal a day in order to afford to buy the game. BT Option 1 is cheapest for me. Cant afford to add more cost to my phone bill.

If you can, change your ISP as you're being ripped off by them and that's not UBI's fault.

I think it's friggin boldness from UBI to really think that their customers should have an internet connection. At least, they could make contracts with major ISPs, and put vouchers for volume into the game boxes. Or, better, send USB sticks to every customer with every patch.

:confused:

So how exactly does the money you pay BT end up in Ubi's pocket?
