Well you have to give them credit for the amazing job they're doing to promote Cliffs of Dover. . . they have a "web site". . . . well, a front page.

Pretty much all the hype built up for the game is due to 1C and Oleg actually releasing content themselves and giving interviews. Ubisoft only cares about A++ titles that they can make for consoles and maybe do a crappy port to the PC.

Plus they like to "buy" a dev team, squeeze out a product as fast as possible, and then lay them all off as soon as the game goes gold. That's one reason why their patches suck, because they don't have anyone from the original team working on them.

THis is called capitalism enjoy it. THe rich upper echelons control everything so that it lines there pockets with maximum cash at the expense of the little guys. The larger the corporation the worse it gets. Unless government begins to regulate some of these things it only gets worse.

Well, look at it this way:
Publishers are in purely to make money off of other peoples blood, sweat, and tears, using its printing and distribution skills to make that money.

Good publishers should serve the developer, listen to their desires and needs and offer what help they can (but have some, not much, but some limits).

Bad publishers get a title and do what they want with it, and pressure developers to hurry up, and just right rough shod on the hapless programmers.
UBI created the name for this game (despite years of Storm of War), chose a CoD that sounds like CoD, and used IL-2 despite the fact their is nothing related between the two, AND the IL-2 airplane is not even in CoD!!

At the very start, it is already looking like UBI is messing up the game....


Perfect example:

And let's compare that with the marvelous Silverlight Only "front page" for Microsoft Flight?

Whether you like the french or not (which, incidently, is exactly that same proposition as 'are you French or not?') you have to admit that they're quite cool. Which is also, incidently, exactly why we in the UK hate them so much.

Except we don't; we're just jealous that they can score so many top beauties whilst stinking of garlic and doing bugger all of an afternoon. It's not fair.

CAUTION: THE VIEWS EXPRESSED ABOVE ARE PROBABLY MEANT TO CONVEY HUMOUR.
