How Ubisoft deceived millions of people (Downgrades)

[Peh]

For the case of Watchdogs,

"One thing to remember is that the first showing of Watch Dogs came in summer 2012, before anyone knew what the Next Gen of consoles and hardware would be. We did our best at the time to predict what that would be and always were forward that this first showing was running on a very powerful PC.

For Watch Dogs 2, we are in a much more predictable context. We have been developing the game on our target platforms from the beginning. "

I suppose, the PC version was held back because of consoles. They didn't wanted these game to differ too much.

 

Also.. Rainbow six is probably the game with hurt the most after the downgrade. It's a totally different game.
