Collector´s edition release cancelled????

[Bowtome]

When will shopto.net or play.com actually have it for pre-order?

I haven't had the cancellation in the UK yet but I will expect it now.

Ubi are a disgrace - why would Oleg go through a bunch of turds that give it virtually no marketing time?

* at the Ubisoft headquarters:

Employee: ''Boss, I've got an idea: let's make the games we sell extremely rare, that way it will somehow improve our income and popularity''

Bpss: ''Yeah, that sounds very logical indeed, im stepping down as boss and you can take my place because I am ashame i didn't thought of that''

I'm actually starting to get worried that IL-2 Sturmovik series suffers the same fate as FreeSpace franchise, which was a superb game series that was left unfinished due to bad sales of the second game in series (FreeSpace2) - because the producer, Interplay, didn't market it properly.

What I don't understand is this flip-flopping with availability information. What's up with that? Can't be too hard to make a comprehensive list of what version shall be available where, and then stick to it, or increase the supply to match the demand if that happens to be the case!

Ubisoft's business model indeed seems to invert the conventional definition of laws of supply and demand - instead of demand defining the amount of supply, Ubisoft has figured a way to increase demand by reducing the supply.



Genius troll marketing ploy.


Whatever, I would have been happy to pay double the price to get a cool Spitfire manual, game manual on print rather than a crummy PDF file, and a cloth map of 1940 West Europe, but I guess my money is not good enough for them. Not to mention I still have no answers as to whather the entire Collector's Edition is going to even exist in the first place, so I can't know where I would even start to order it if I were to get it from abroad, which would present logistical challenges unforeseen in purchasing a game.

It's just... I'm not asking too much, am I? Why would a company whose profit depends on paying customers actually refuse to sell stuff at certain demographics of their target group (namely, those living outside an unspecified area)?

I'm sad and confused and tired. Is there any way to contact Ubisoft and ask if they even have discrete plans on their marketing strategy regarding this game, or if they're just winging it as they go?

Crash and burn Ubi. Crash and burn.
Hope 1c finds someone else to get the CE's out.
