Ubisoft, the French publisher’s indifference has risen to unexpected heights…
From Ubisoft, Tara Johnson Reichley, head of consumer relations, wrote forumthat anyone who visits customer service for Splinter Cell Blacklist to fix a problem online (“requesting a ticket”) is simply banned, which means not only saying goodbye to Sam Fisher’s adventure, but all the We can also say goodbye to Ubisoftos if this happens. Why? Because Yves Guillemoths don’t design the Spinter Cell Blacklist (which we wrote in more detail here earlier) to restore the online part: no online, no co-op.
Reichley added that the game (and not just that, but other older Ubisoft products that have / had online items) will continue to work offline, which is only good until we realize that many of their games have an internet connection, or requires a connection to a server. (So was Might & Magic X: Legacy, which used to be a scandal, but we were wrong: although it took a while for Ubisoft to actually make its DLC operational.)
The ban lasts for seven days, and during that one-week ban, we won’t be able to buy from the Ubisoft Store, let alone play. Further abusive behavior will result in a permanent ban, writes the post. Well, and anyone using an older Ubisoft Connect or Uplay client will also be banned. Because previous versions of the former are insecure, so our Ubisoft account, or Ubisoft itself, could be in danger, Reichley writes, and are they wondering if they’re pirating their Denuvos games, which they use almost constantly?
And now comes the “put my hair down” twist: Ubisoft deleted the topic by saying that not one of their employees wrote the post, but this seems like an over-PR-smelling justification, as the topic itself was highlighted before it was deleted, and no reply could have been there. And only moderators and admins can do that. So it’s a storm of applause for Guillemots, it’s a deservingly sarcastic act for them…
