Oh and I love how people try and argue that Nintendo fans should accept this or try to be reasonable about it and so on.
Could you imagine the outrage if say the PS3 version and PS4 version were announced to have no DLC.
It would be like the DRM xbox one fiascol. Be twitters aflame, every gaming website in an uproar, forums floading with 100 identical topics bitching, and so on.
Yet it happens to Nintendo and we get berated for having an opinion. |
Also, I don't know about everyone else, but I'm pointing out that while there isn't DLC now, doesn't mean there could be in the future. There's no berating Nintendo fans there. If Ubisoft thinks they'll make money from it, they'll port it. Nothing is set in stone. It's DLC after all, not like it comes on disc, unless it's a Capcom game.

What was the point of Ubisoft announcing it now?
Why not wait until after the game is out for a week and then announce which systems get dlc. THis isn't day 1 dlc is it? i imagine it comes out a month later at earliest.
I highly doubt anyone who wasn't planning on getting AC4 will now get AC4 cause dlc was announced.
DLC announced will probably lose more purchasers than gain.
Now on to the Wii U version. This announcement before release could hugely impact sales. As most any intelligent person knows. Most if not ALL Wii U owners also own probably a PS3 or 360 or have a PC that can play this game. So now you are telling them they will be missing out on future content for their version. THey may switch versions.

well if thats the case, why would Ubi or the gamers who were really interested in the game care? Cause in the grand scheme of things multiplat owners still get to play the game and Ubi still sells a copy, i dont think they care too much whether its a PS3/4 WiiU etc version or not.

Your right that a sale on PS3 or Wii U doesn't matter to Ubisoft. Those that just switch consoles DO NOT matter.
BUT I can guarantee that this news has lost AC4 at least 1 sale than it was going to get before.
I can Guarantee that this news has gained AC4 0 more sales than it did before.
Nobody is going to now buy AC4 cause DLC was announced. They either were going to buy it already or not.
THere are going to be at least 1 person who will now not buy the game, for whatever reason, whether its their own personal boycotting ubisoft for this move for feeling ripped off or whatever. But there will be at least 1.
Thus again reiterating my point. THere is no benefit at all whatsoever for Ubisoft to announce this BEFORE hte games release.
