Ubisofts watchdog major fuck up

Seriously this is one of the stupidest things I've seen a games company do in a while... did they think the sort of people who play pc games wouldn't find the files?

Someone bought a (new) Ubisoft game? Fer real? Fer shame!

Thanks for the post as this is seriously bizarre. Sentiments on this already expressed in the vid. Oh, and this game is coming with a lot of new vid cards and such I think. I probably would not install it if free if it has ANY DRM.

The only 2 reasons I've heard that make sense for them doing this are.

A. They didn't want consoles to look to shitty in comparison as they've only just been released.

B. They intend to sell better graphics as dlc later on.

Sadly while both are reasonable reasons I wouldn't be at all surprised if it ended up being the dlc option, it would explain why they left the files in the game so they can just sell us a £10-20 dlc pack which only involves them giving us a file that activates things which are already there. Its sad when you're hoping they just want to screw over pc gamers are were to incompetent to remove the files because its the best option...
