If you care this much about the game, you're going to buy it no matter what, so why would Ubisoft give a fuck about what you think?
Or is this coming from some place other than a deep love of Rayman?

The delay wouldn't have bothered me had it not been delayed TWO FUCKING WEEKS before the game came out. The multiplatform announcement was great, but the delay a mere two weeks before the Wii U version came out is pretty ridiculous.
If this delay came a month or two ago, I wouldn't have cared. But shops were ready to receive shipments and people who preordered it were getting ready.
Shit is unreal. But I still laugh at this "social movement." It sucks, but I have other things to do than freak out over Rayman's delay.

And this folks is why I don't buy a console for a game that isn't out yet.
A lot of people in this thread don't seem to realize that many, many people bought a Wii U at least partially for this game. It was close enough to release that buying a system for it wasn't at all unreasonable. (Unlike people who bought a PS3 for FF Versus XIII.) The multiplatform thing isn't a problem. That happens all the time. The problem is that this game was supposed to be an important part of the Wii U's early library, and it would be if Ubisoft hadn't decided to delay it for no good reason. The game is done. Just release it.

Yeah, I think I agree. I'll get the game in September. The delay is annoying but I don't think ubisoft will change their mind about this.

I don't see how this is a problem, it's not like the game is canceled or delayed indefinitely like some other titles *cough*TLG*cough*
Well yeah, it's being release in September, near Fall, where the Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed and every other big games are being released. I mean Christ, GTA V is being released the same month.
Origins didn't exactly sold well IIRC, I can't see this one doing any better.

I'm starting to think this whole thing is just a viral marketing stunt from Ubisoft.
I mean, the first game bombed hard and there's no way the sequel would have gotten half the attention it's getting now, had it been released as planned.
Either way, too much fuss about some niche game. Just don't buy it so Ubisoft don't get your money for treating their customers like idiots.

I'm not entirely sure what my name entails, but if it means providing information to others who want it, then I'm wholeheartedly happy with that.
If anything, this thread will continue the discorse on whether the business practices Ubisoft has displayed are acceptable and worth a response from fans or not. I'm inclined to believe that delaying a game for 7 months only 2 weeks from release is wrong, and Ubisoft should have been upfront about it the entire time if this was a possibility.
7 months when the game is done is pretty long, man. Especially when the delay was announced 3 weeks to launch. And the reason for the delay doesn't happen to sit right to many, either.
Do all marketing in Sept. Nintendo already provided plenty of that for free and no more is required for the U sku by UBI.
I know, do not take my comment as I didn't know what you were talking about is that, it is funny that Ubisoft do not see it that way..

Because people bought a Wii U on launch/near launch window to play this game, then delayed for 6 months in a starved console?
True. Buying consoles based on promises (not sure if that's even the correct word...) is setting yourself up for disappointment. Rayman Legends isn't the first example of this and won't be the last. I'm saddened that so many feel so upset about this. I wish we could just focus on the game itself, which I'm sure will be fantastic, whether or not it's out in two weeks, or September, or five years from now. I would understand the sentiment better if it was flat out cancelled for Wii U.

GTAV coming September 17th
Now say late August this year Rockstar says it will delay the PS360 versions 7 months so they can launch the Wii U version at the same time.
Not for PS4 or any Next Gen or PC no the delay is just for the Wii U port but the game is finished.
the same adult men who are calling us silly for wanting Ubisoft to release Rayman Legends as promised would be posting very angry rage all over the net.
So please shut up and allow people to ask Ubisoft for what they care about.

People are not very smart buying a console for only one game.

The second game will bomb hard as well; it sold just nicely on PS360 after its price got cut to 20$. The same period of GTA? lol

One thing that I do not understand is the fact that they are doing this to sell the game simultaneously
in September... month of sports games, GTA
and its Rayman
not a consumer's priority
so it would be smart for them to launch it now for the Wii U (probably the only decent exclusive for a large amount of months)
market the hell out of the visuals, the kid vibe, the wii name
attach it to the nintendo brand
and suddenly you have a game that matters
and by releasing it in other consoles in September maybe you would sell more copies just for that factor of "this nintendo console has a pretty nice game ... I want that ... but I cant afford a new one because I am waiting for the new Playstation or whatever"

People buying a new console for one unreleased game? A 'starved console' with barely any games announced for release in the near future?
Definitely Ubisoft at fault here.

So you were only going to buy it because it was a WiiU exclusive?
It´s so fucking hilarious that people say fuck Ubisoft i won´t buy the game anymore because it became multiplatform.

Rayman Legends had the potential to become a big Wii U hit by Wii U standards, as well, for the starved Wii U owners. It wouldn't have sold ridiculous Mario levels, but I could see it selling over 100k altogether for its first couple of weeks (which sure as shit was better than Origins) if it had decent marketing.
Now the Wii U version is fucked, as well as the PS3/360 versions. Getting released around the time Nintendo's products are coming out, along with the holiday rush?
Fucking unbelievably stupid.
It seems like he means he would rather buy other games at that point of time.
This is true.

Why doesn't the contact information include Nintendo? It's their platform and they should be trying to convince developers/publishers to give it the best support.
The original release date is in the middle of a schorching drought. Of course the delay will affect purchase decisions.
I don't know his name but he has some good videos on youtube.

You're so delusional if you think people aren't buying this anymore because it's multiplatform.
It has nothing to do with it being multiplatform. By the time in releases in September, the biggest games of the year will be coming out, and Rayman will get lost in the shuffle.

I predict this will only go slightly better than the L4D2 boycott.

I bet Ubisoft is reading this thread right now, looking to make new hires after their so-called human rights violations.
You're at the top of the list I bet.

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
It's even more hilarious how knee-jerk trolls in this thread don't bother to inform themselves what people are angry about before posting their low-brow trolling.

As shitty and moronic as Ubisoft's decision here is, I don't think a barren Wii U release schedule is their burden to carry. They're worthy of scorn for this delay whether we were drowning in Wii U games or not, but this seems less about "we want to play Rayman right fucking now" and more about "now I can't justify my ill-advised £300 purchase".
Get mad about the fucking developers who are getting screwed over. Montpelier deserve better than to release when GTAV is clogging the channels.
How does that affect you? If it gets lost in "the shuffle," then so be it. You still have Rayman Legends and it's glorious.

Your nonsensical whining about Ubisoft business practices. The OP and his WiiU human rights.
Oh boy lol
It wasn't nonsensical, there was rationalization behind the post, and there is no mention of human rights in the OP. Please try again.
No people don't. If one game has more attention to a person than another game, then the person will buy the game that he/she has more interest in.

No, he does not. People who wanted to buy the game, buy the game regardless. This is not the first delay that ever happened. It just hurt some people´s feeling that RL is going mulltiplatform.

Because the only reason I had Rayman Legends preordered was because January-March are absolute shit for gaming and there was nothing coming out for any systems (and the fact that I got it for $26).
Now that it's being released in the months were a ton of games are coming out? I'll probably put my money towards something else. Otherwise, it'll just be one of those games that I "buy" but never bother opening because so many other games I'm more interested in are coming out.
