You've heard it, everyone. Buy Ubisoft games to show them that halfassed is good enough for you.

I thought Rayman Legends was the best version??

Regardless, you know even if they put the effort into Splinter Cell, ect it would have sold the same.

It was also completed half a year before it got released. Besides, it's not like RL is doing well on any platform, not even those with big installed bases.

Anyway, Ubisoft has to give reasons why their games should be bought. Issuing threats isn't the way to go. Of course, it doesn't help the company one bit that they built an awful reputation for themselves on Nintendo platforms. Always there with plenty of games, but almost exclusively cash-ins or games that cut corners. Nobody in their right mind should expect goodwill with such a track record. But that's just how it goes: Lost Planet 3 bombs spectacularly and it's concluded that it's well deserved; game flops on a Nintendo system, the conclusion is that the audience is to blame. In the specific case of Splinter Cell, I am quite sure that the game underperformed across the board. But even though the Wii U version was never supposed to carry the load, it's the one that is the most talked about.

It's not good enough to say "It's not doing well on any other platforms" Perhaps that means the game shouldn't exist simply because it doesn't have an audience on whatever platform it's on.

But WiiU is a young system, not only is there not many games on the system right now, thus owners should be picking up the new ones, but Rayman is a platformer which really should appeal to WiiU owners, it's a very good one by the looks of it too.

Why didn't it sell?

I was planning to buy it when it was supposed to release... then they delayed it and put it up against the tail end of Pikmin 3, windwalker, splinter cell black list, wonderful 101 and a bunch of others.  I bought pikmin, windwalker and splinter cell.  RL can wait until a lul in other games.  I have AC3, Just Dance, Zombie U and Splinter cell so far from Ubisoft.  I was planning on RL until they puled a dick move and I am currently planing on Watch dogs and AC4...  If they pull another dick move, like giving me an ultimatum,  I have steam games I might buy instead. They have no right to me as a customer, if they want to continue to recieve my money they will stop pulling this shit.

I have no problem with them making RL multiplatform, none whatsoever, and no problem with them not releasing a game on wiiU because they don't think they will make money on it (they are not a charity).  I have a problem with ultimatums, and bad decisions like the RL delay.  I actually buy a lot of thier games, but I will think twice about the next one they release after thearing this.

This was the post I was going to type about 20 minutes ago, but I got distracted.

Prety much exactly this, even down to the games you bought.
