Anti-epilepsy filter? - Page 23

This thread truly is depressing...

How come I'm not amazed that this descended into making jokes about the 0.5-1% of the population that suffer from a very serious disease? What's next? How low can you go?

And no, I'm not cancelling any pre-order unless the devs continue blaming not passing the tests that most other games pass without resulting in a slide show - to cover up a non optimized release. I can take that the game is released in a non finished state and gets patched to work later (like the RoF release). But blaming the anti epilepsy screening tests and Ubisoft for that is not the way to sell games. I hope you understand that making statements like that hurts your sales - or what? Just look at this mess. Get some sleep and think twice before posting comments like that?

+1, 100% agree. This is not a joke, the epilepsy rule/law is there to protect people who have the misfortune to suffer from this terrible condition, Ubi should be praised for taking action in 2008 not rubbished. Its sad that it has blighted Cliffs of Dover, but it is an oversight from the Dev's not from Ubisoft. It hasn't affected any other game or developers that adhere to the same restrictions.

proof here from 2008, please read the forums Tiger, its all there.

The only thing that doesn't fit this is that Ubi only got involved again late last year. (I know Tree has said otherwise but i want to see facts to back that up before buying another grand conspiracy theory)

Rush released by 1C, not by Ubi.

We cannot accuse Ubi of delaying the release to the 31st in Europe & April in the US, and accuse them of releasing it too early.

Information about how finished the game is/was lies in the studio in Russia & at 1C. 1C decided on the global release date (March 2011) as much as Ubi, if not more.

Well that is most probably true, unfortunatley Cliffs Of Dover failed to meet the required standards by Ubisoft.

well i agree with you whole heartedly, however we are assuming that this was required by Ubisoft, all other Ubisoft games have a warning on the box. So the dev's blaming Ubisoft makes it very suspicious and looks more and more like a smoke screen for a very badly running unfinished game.

So then all is fine? Should I let my five year old play computer games as he has not had a seizure in four years play this game then? The other solution here seems to be that I should tell him that no, you can't play computer games ever in your life even if all your friends do it all the time. That is not for you, go can go play on the yard outside instead...
