Good to know. If you see a timely review, you know the reviwer's been bought.

Someone at Ubisoft is an undercover dude from another company.. and is trying to make Ubisoft fail extremely hard I think :lol:

Wow, if this is true then Ubisoft is never getting another penny from me again. They have gone mad.

The sad thing is, people actually go for the deal.

I'm just glad these knuckleheads don't make a franchise I really like.zomglolcats

I'm the other way. I really like the Silent Hunter and IL-2 series of games. Good thing the maker of IL-2 isn't going to go with UBI for their next release. Shame about Silent Hunter V though.

Im sure the publishers actually did this for years and perhaps decades already. Ubisoft is being clumsy now..they should learn to keep the table-talk in private.

Wasn't that Wings of Prey? Good game. Or is there a proper followup to IL-2, hope so. Bring back the simulators I say !!!

Digging up months or years old info sure is fun, isn't it?

All I can say is that Arkham Asylum had the very same policy. It's standard practice in this industry.

Really? Who's going to be the new publisher for Storms of War: Battle of Britain?

they didnt offer to pay the german reviewer, just to only be able to review it earlyFrenzyd109

I fail to see how one is any better than the other.
