Saving trees?

Unless game manuals make up a significant proportion of tree loss, I don't see that as an argument.

Who knows how accurate this is  or how many manuals you get out of a ton of paper but :

"Internal Ubisoft numbers indicate that manufacturing one ton of paper used to create game manuals uses two tons of wood from 13 trees, enough energy to heat an average home for a year, 13,000 gallons of wastewater and 6,000 pounds of carbon dioxide."

I do miss some of the manuals (those that put actual effort and artwork into them)

If that's true then I'd prefer for the game to have a digital manual in it instead.

PrayforMojo is probably right that Ubi and the rest of the industry's move away from physical manuals is likely more about economic incentive.  Saving some trees and producing less waste is probably just a happy PR friendly side effect.
