UbiSoft: Competition for Worst Publisher?

When the whole Batman: Arkham Knight issue boiled over several months ago, I'll admit I was completely bowled over. Before you even get into the fact that the company released a game in such piss-poor quality they had to take it off of Steam to convince a few customers not to refund it and before news came out they basically had 12 people total porting this game, you have to concider WB released a game that they knew was at best in Beta stages, and the best evidence for it is that literally two hours before the game came out, they increased the minimum requirements to play the game. Such action is despicable as it really can only be seen at best as an attempt to decieve people into think this is what the game was supposed to need to begin with and so it's ok if it runs like shit everywhere else, and at worst, it's an attempt to make people who are not paying attention believe it's their own fault for not reading the requirements and therefore they should just keep the pile of shit WB just shoveled out to them. It was perhaps the single most shameful display of bullshit from a AAA publisher I had ever seen...

From the “This Just Might be True Files”

Ironically, while looking over Kotaku this morning, a page I rarely take seriously, a story happened to catch my eye by it’s title and picture alone. “Extreme GameStop Pricing Leaves Some Fans Calling Scam” with a nice picture from the cover of what could easily by my personal favorite game on consoles… Xenoblade Chronicles. The story seems to be about how used copies of the game (previously sold out throughout the USA in both new and used forms, and having tried to help a friend get his own copy, I can speak to this through experience), is suddenly and readily available in used form from the chain. So what’s so bad about that?
