Well I guess some are running with the theory that MS payed for this since they have been the one advertising the game. Honestly, wouldn't surprise me with how MS has been running things recently.
Well whatever, I already think Ubisoft is a garbage company, so dumb choices like this don't even surprise me. Unity looks like lame AC shit either way so I was never going to buy it(or other Ubi games honestly), but it would have been better to not say anything in this case. This won't avoid arguments.
