Well EA are doing things now which is good, I imagine the many years of being near the top of the "worst company in America" list has had something to do with that. They were treating all of their employees like absolute shit too. And the charging for online mode when people bought pre-owned games was pretty bullshit, but Ubisoft jumped on that bandwagon too. Both companies have now discontinued that, but I'm not sure if that's because of a consumer backlash or not.
Ubisoft these days are undoubtedly worse and have been for a long time. They previously were just as bad as EA and their continued consumer ignorance makes them worse since EA seems to be improving. Lets not forget the missing chunk of Assassin's Creed II that's supposed to be DLC (did I fuck buy it).
Also I spent time on the Ubisoft forums for the Rayman Legends daily challenges which just require a server update every day to update the challenges, which are single player aside from the fact that you're competing with other people's previous (and future) scores for the day. There's a trophy associated with reaching level 11 which requires getting an insane amount of points in the daily challenges after 100%'ing the game. I'm awesome at that game and I had to do challenges every day for about 3 months. To put this into perspective, 2000 points are required to reach level 11. A bronze cup is 1 point (most people). A silver cup is 5 points (anyone below the top 10% of scores). A gold cup is 10 points (top 10% of scores). A Platinum cup is 50 points (top 1% worldwide). Getting a platinum is nearly impossible for most people. It took me a month to start getting them consistently, and that was only on game modes ("Get as Far as You Can" in a level). Anyway, the challenges would break every now and again and yesterday's challenges would be showing and you wouldn't be able to actually play the new challenges and it stayed like that for a week, so you were stuck. Ngl, the game mode is fun (the levels were randomised and changed every time, also they went on forever if you were good enough because after a certain point the hardest sections just repeated). There are hundreds of complaints about this on their forum for all platforms and none of them bothered to fix it. There also isn't a way to submit a report about the game because ACIV was released at the time and that was a shitstorm, they removed the game section for Rayman Legends on their report site, so there were thousands of people who were trying to get that trophy that were stuck.
Anyway to get this back on topic, if ACIV is free on PSN for PS4 I'll get it and try it out since you guys are saying it's awesome. I don't want to play it on PS3 so it has to be PS4. I'm sure it'll happen at some point.
