Ubisoft And The Division Of Content (The Jimquisition)

Oh, Ubisoft! Europe's EA equivalent has split The Division 2 across six special editions, a recurring habit of a company desperate to make all of the money in the world.

But how does Ubisoft's promise of free updates mesh with DLC, season passes, and half a dozen special editions? Awkwardly, friends. Awkwardly.

There's actually a real term for what Ubisoft is doing with special editions: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confusopoly" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confusopoly</a>

Hey now, I still go game stores all the time. Beats the shit out of buying games digitally since you can't get refunds on digital goods(at least not on PSN or XBL, and Steam has that bullshit time limit) and can't trade in digital games for store credit and games install way faster on disc anyways. Ubisoft's multiple special editions are getting ridiculous at this point, though I am still looking forward to Division 2, as I really enjoyed the story in the first game, thankfully I have zero interest in the multiplayer portion of the game, so the early access stuff won't affect me, but it still shouldn't be there and I feel sorry for those who will be at a disadvantage because of this.

Well I prefer to play on console so Origin isn't really going to cut it(most of my Steam games are sixth-generation titles) as my PC is nowhere near powerful to even come close to running the latest AAA games and I don't have thousands of dollars lying around that I can spend upgrading my PC. Also I will not use G2A out of respect for TotalBiscuit, as he spoke out against them loudly and very often. Problem is Steam has that dumbass two hour time limit. Whereas if I buy a game from Gamestop and it sucks, i've got a whole week to return it and get my money back, i've done that twice-once with Colonial Marines, which I did like actually, but I was short on cash and wanted to buy something else and I figured if I got a refund for that game nobody could give me shit about liking , and the other time was with Federation Force, it was so awful even the store clerks didn't try to defend it, they had no problem giving me a full refund on that worthless piece of shit game.
