What exactly does it say about their intention toward PC gamers?
It only shows that PC gamers have around the same spread of playing a male or female Inquisitor as those who own a 'last gen' system.
What i found interesting, as a side note, was the hell storm around AC Unity. People were mad about it.
At least Ubi was answering, and as fast as it could delivered patches.
I recently started to play the game, 2 weeks ago. Im in love with it. Being a long fan of the series, im finding it better than AC3 or AC4. Also i got a nice discount on holiday sale, and even yesterday Steam gave me (guess for all) Dead Kings DLC for free. I guess this is some Ubi compensation for the problems.
I dont know about people with lower systems, but on my modest beefy system (4790K, 16GB 2133, GTX 980 OC), im getting 60FPS constant, with everything maxed except AA. The game has some minor bugs, but its very enjoyable now.
Even CA/Sega took a whole of press and PR for a year until Rome 2 was in a good Shape.
it seen EA isnt only bad on its strategems, its also very bad at PR and post sales relationship. After Unity and Rome2, i still want to purchase more from Ubi and CA, but from failure to failure, i just hate EA. Every damn game is a mess. PR is abysmal. Lies after Lies.
If you have +30 years, you should remember what EA was, when the logo was a block, cone and a sphere. When EA competed with Sierra.
At that time, EA distributed nice games. Someone remember Seven cities of gold? Ultima Series? Simcity (the real not recent mock)? Dungeon Keeper?
It seen that EA have a lot of talent to publish, but once things get produced into EA, it goes always bad.
There is a Joke "EA is where game franchises go to die".
