Yes, there you go, the shady fucking Ubisoft trying to cheat on review scores of their mediocre games.
When Valhalla came out, they did the similar scummy thing - right after the review period, the added the XP boost items to the in game shop, which was supposed to be "only cosmetic". I made thread about it.

And people were even defending that saying "well I don't care because it didn't bother me". Fuck that "I don't care" attitude, this is why we are never getting anything good any more. Just let the fucking corps do whatever they want to exploit you.
