I guess the lack of information on development could be relate to the way UBI soft has been shafted by its "Fans".
I was astounded by the level of piracy in other titles. I read an article about Assassins Creed. (
http://www.atomicmpc.com.au/article.asp?CIID=119232). Apparently the PC version only sold 40,000 copies but a buggy 'leaked' was downloaded 700,000 times!!!!!!
I bought a copy of that game and am still playing my way through. Compared with the XBox version, the PC has a huge improvement in graphics.
Basically with statistics like that it's a miracle that PC versions of software can still be created. I know If I was UBISoft i'ld tell the lot of us PC gamers to get shafted and go for the big $$$ on the console games, or make us pay for hardware 'keys' and online verifcation every time we play! How about charging us a monthly fee like world of warcraft????
