| episteme said: Not a good sign, but ACIV's embargo also ended on release day. |
true, I think it is just a general policy for UBIsoft. Its smart really. If you always do it people wont know when you are trying to hide reviews and when you are just following your policy and it is a good game.
I think they do embargos to prevent magazines from doing half assed reviews just to get it out their 1st. If they have to wait longer maybe they will actually play through the game before they review it. It also limits troll sites who make a extra bad review just to generate traffic. You know the one site that sees fit to give a game with a 90% average like a 5/10.
