Australia has a small population which accounts for less than 1% of the video game industry sales. It should not matter much to Ubisoft at all.

+1 Funny. Now what point were you trying to make?

Australian video game market does not matter to Ubisoft. The costs involved in improving its network for a few Aussie gamers is not cost effective. ok the Aussie gamers may boycott Ubisoft. Not a big loss. Think of the big picture.

Internet connections in Australia are terribly slow and laggy and they pay a premium for broadband in Australia. The location of where Australia is situated does not help much in regards to its internet networks. The Australian government has not updated its telecommunications industry in a long time and that adversely impacts upon internet broadband networks.

Ok thanks for the clarification. Yes you are right AU is often quite behind in both speed and cost of internet access, but there is no logistical reason not to support them. Sure they are only 1%, but if every country that was only 1% were ignored gaming would be restricted to about 10 countries and all but dead. FYI I'm not Australian, but even I know that losing any market- no matter the size for no reason is dumb.
