It really is unfortunate that developers can no longer openly discuss the game they are working on due to fear of causing an outrage. Calling for a boycott was definately an overreaction to this bit of news. Now most communications about a game have to go through shitty PR channels and speak in half-truths.

What is wrong with teh two of you???? Reallly....
- You are paying $60 for something. And you are one of a potential 17M people that could be paying $60. If Ubisoft or any publisher sells 6M copies of a game, they have made $360M from what is usually a $30M-$100M investment. In other words, they are getting their money and they are not doing you a favour by fucking trying to get that money from your own pockets. You better damn well feel entitled to get the most for your money.
- And yes, maybe devs should not talk without whatever they are saying first going through PR. You are dealing with people and you have to respect that people are diffeent, if you don't care about that, then deal with the consequences.
- And drop that whole giving them a chance BS and openly discuss stuff. You can discuss stuff as openly as you want to, that doesn't mean that when you say nonsense you shouldn't be called out for it. And all we are asking for is honesty, if your practices lead you to do things that you cannot be honest about then try and bullshit people about it... tehn don't be surprised when they call you out on it.
- And the whole boycot thing wasn't an over-reaction. If they had just told me that hey your game is gonna be 900p@30fps.... that would have been fine. But when you literally open your big mouth and tell someone that their game is being "limited to avoid debates"... don't be surprised if those people decide to "limit" how much money the spend on you. Sounds fair if you ask me.

Don't get me wrong, what was said in the initial statement (We've locked both versions of the game “to avoid all the debates and stuff”) was incredibly stupid and hints that the decision may have been made to appease the company paying for the exclusive marketing for the game.
As I've said in other posts, it is really unfortunate that they have made the decision to not utilize the PS4 to it's full potential. There are many examples, including Assassins Creed IV and Watch Dogs, showing that the PS4 is capable of outputting at higher resolutions than the Xbox One.
That being said, I still think it is an overreaction to call for a boycott of the game over this.
