It benefits me because I get a free game lol. It also benefits me because they might sell off the rights to Splinter Cell to a better company who will actually put out new games.
It's not just a "made-up war". I've had both OG Black Flag AND it's remake since the last Splinter Cell. Fuck that, these guys can go. I'm not going to buy a game off fake good-will points and the hopes that a corporation will start doing better lmfao. That's legit senseless and naive.
