did he shoot himself in the foot posting that?
Makes ubisoft sound like arseholes.
Well, they are assholes. They are delaying a finished product for no good reason and fucked over the people who worked in this game.

As opposed to what? Buying it and telling Ubisoft that it was okay to delay a finished game?
OT but what is the difference between arsehole and asshole?
That's exactly what the poor overworked dev asked you not to do. That achieves nothing.
I'm not supporting publishers who resort to this type of action. Full stop.
I'd say this manner IS unusual. Usually it's well in advance of release (the original AC apparently, FFXIII) or at least within the last few months (Dragon Age: Origin.) And more often they just release then and port later on, albeit to mixed results. That may be why Ubisoft decided to just delay the Wii U version, but it's also possibly just as big of a mistake at this point in time.I mean is this even really an uncommon occurrence in the industry? Both the delay and that level of developer crunch time to meet release

It's not really a matter of morality; It's about you telling publishers that if you don't get what you are promised, they won't get their money.I don't know why that is so morally reprehensible to the point where you'd boycott a product you want to play and not support a developer you want to see do well.

em, by being under extreme pressure for 6months for no reason?How are they fucked over?
British versus American (non-British? Do Aussies/Canadians/etc say arse?).

They worked their asses off to hit the original release dateHow are they fucked over?
Are you all going to boycott Pikmin 3 considering its obviously being delayed purely for marketing and business reasons? There's no doubt that game was finished long ago.

It's so stupid for those Ubisoft execs to make such a decision. Why delay a Wii U version just so you could release it along with the PS3 and 360 iterations? I think it would've been smarter for Ubisoft to have released the Wii U version this month and the other versions later on.
How are they fucked over?

That's not being fucked over, that's doing your job in exchange for money.

Was the game delayed a couple of weeks prior to release and purely so that it can be ported to competing consoles?
Thank you found it and Yeah! itRicardo (username is Suzaku) I believe. I saw it earlier.

Well, if the dev quote is true, then Ubisoft had them work on a cruch schedule (lots of overtime) pressured to meet the release date for the end of the month. They essentially had the dev team run the last stretch of a marathon, putting in a ridiculously (and often controversial) amount of hours, so they could get a project out the door in the highest quality.
And then turned around and said "oh lol now it isn't coming out until september".
It's a dick move.

This.
Also I realllllly doubt Pikmin 3 is done and they're just sitting on it. Not that they haven't done that in the past (supposedly Luigi's Mansion 2 has been done for 6+ months), but the Wii U desperately needs games right now and I don't think I've seen any obvious indications that they're just sitting on it or anything like that.

I've only read a few pages of this thread, but wouldn't the best option be to buy it on the Wii U to prove it was an unnecessary delay while at the same time show Ubisoft that we do want more Rayman? Seems like a better option than boycotting the game.
Based off of what evidence?
Based off of what evidence? Also, we don't even have a release date for Pikmin 3 that's being abandoned mere weeks beforehand. This argument is ridiculous.
That's not being fucked over, that's doing your job in exchange for money.
Fucking hell, so the game is essentially done? Yeah, guy with the suits, nice job at getting losing a sale.

The evidence of common sense.
Nintendo do this all the time. You really think their localisation is so inept that it justifies the often comical delays between regions for their games? Yet when it's important they manage to do worldwide releases. This is standard practice for Nintendo, to object to Ubisoft moving a game and not them is hypocritical.
Sure, Ubisoft left it late. You can be irritated at that. But it and Pikmin are both "launch window" games being delayed for business reasons.

It's also a much more expensive option.

Read my edit.
Also, if you think they delayed Pikmin for business reasons...I don't know what to say. There's NOTHING left in the launch window. You'd think they'd put Pikmin there if it was ready.
Not to mention I'm about 90% sure I read that Miyamoto said the game was being delayed for polishing reasons (but that may be wrong).
Is this Dave guy serious or a joke character?
I'd specialte that they would rather get the potential boost for Wii U in the next fiscal year by releasing Pikmin after April. Who knows. But there's no way that game can't be ready to go. This is vintage Nintendo.
