Really?
Yeah, really, what do you dispute there? All those are pretty major releases, most of which I, at least am seriously contemplating and that's just an absurd amount of quality games to come out in a month.
Another demo? Bad attempt to clean up the mess. I think they even add fuel to the fire. I just checked Miiverse and Facebook and there is rage everythere. They never ever expected such a backlash. What a huge PR disaster.

It's not that they didn't expected it, they just didn't (and still don't) care.
I think you're gonna be disappointed.
those games will all sell better than rayman. i dont really know what you are trying to say
I reckon they could be looking at around 100,000 less sales across several IPs if people really are going to boycott Ubisoft's software from now on. :Oo
Uhhh... I wouldn't say it's that many people.
Many are upset but the people who are are Wii U owners... people who are currently a minority in comparison to other console video game players.
So there are what, 5 million Wii U's out there? And no games! And all Wii U owners are either kids or old-school gamers. If Ubisoft had played their cards right they could have sold 500k+ of this game long before we hit September.
Why are no major sites covering the protest to get Rayman out on time? Who is covering this story?
Hey, Rich from IGN retweeted the petition link. That's enough.Why are no major sites covering the protest to get Rayman out on time? Who is covering this story?
How does that help publishers?

Do you think it's feasible at this time to do a "soft launch" - say, an eShop only release of the game? Then later do a b&m release, with a big marketing push for all platforms?
wow, the origins sold 2million despite the 50k first month? If indeed it sold that much, at least making the game multiplatform totally makes sense, though of course not the delay of the Wii U version.No. There wouldn't be any new assets to communicate if a version launched now and the next 7 months later since it's essentially the same game. History as shown this time and time again, you wont get any sales on a late port with no new assets or marketing support.
The game sold close to 2MM units world wide on all platforms. It makes better business sense to release it all at once, especially since it seems like NoA isn't spending to push the title like they probably hoped to initially

In Doritoland journalists that report in negative feedback from a series's fanbase that imply a mistake by a publisher are frowed upon. At best we are gonna get some article calling us entitled cunts and being glad we are getting a demo.
What?
I didn't say it would help publishers, but I'm genuinely interested in knowing why no major site has covered the reaction of this news beyond "Wii U is doomed." You would think it would be worth a conversation or opinion piece. Hell, there is no major site that has compiled the arguments, the developer reaction, or addressed public response. It's pathetic.
I was joking about the correct point JDSN made.

the bulk of that 2MM came after a price drop, and don't you talk about NoA not spending alot to push the title. It was (and still is in some cases) the ONLY playable demo at WiiU demo stations. They have done more than enough for Ubi already in that regard. This is classless and in bad taste/faith
It's not that they didn't expected it, they just didn't (and still don't) care.
I think I know a little bit more about what I'm talking about then you do.
Total Ubisoft bullshit. I'm boycotting this game.

This exclusive demo nonsense is hilarious. For them to react on facebook is a pretty notable effect IMO.

Not sure if this was posted yet but it looks like Ubisoft is looking for a new Public Relations Coordinator

The job advertisement went up today.
And yet, poor developers. So many gamers are ready to shout at them, boycott games, etc. It is as if the most dedicated gamers were so frustrated with their hobbies that they totally need their daily fix of delicious, dedicated anger and hatred. Why is that?
stupid stupid stupid.
just release the wii u version as planned this month and if people want to wait for the ps3/360 versions in september, let them do that. its not that fucking hard ubisoft.
it just doesnt make any sense to me to delay the goddamn finished wii u version for another 6 months.
