You'd think with nearly 1/4 of their market being PC that they'd put more of an effort into it.

Never played it. I did love Black Flag but I'm a pirate fan. Love the Far Cry franchise. AC Unity set them back though. Might & Magic Heroes 6 had launch problems too, as well as the DLC I think. I don't even know if ubisoft had more problems with other games but those two issues set ubisoft back. I believe I read that they are in the running for the worst company this year.
I know people always say never pre-order, but if I love the franchise, I'll pre-order. If steam refunds weren't around I'd stay away from ubisoft until after release.
I didn't wanna mention Watch Dogs since I didn't have any technical problems but the game is meh for all the hype it got.

Yes, Watch Dogs is a good game, but it's not what they promised.

Especially considering this is likely by dollar amounts, not units sold. With how deep the discounts run on PC, that means they're selling a lot more units to make up the price difference. Hopefully, this change will encourage them to refocus things going forward.

And that was after they said that their DRM was a great success and had done a lot to reduce piracy. If 95% were pirating things after the DRM went live, and the DRM was so successful, I wonder how many pirated things before...
Comment has been collapsed.
Their games were always pirated because they use the worst DRMs in history ever since the early 2000s. The only worse one I ever met was Steam when it originally started.

Just gonna let you know that mobile does not include 3DS and Vita. Possibly because there are no recent Ubisoft games on either system.

I still can't play HAWX 2, and doesn't care the customer

My opinion is that those % doesn't say much. In 2014 Ubisoft had Watch_Dogs (and it was Ubi's bestseller and for many people who only watch commercials one of the reasons to get next-gen), can't remember any big Ubisoft game in last 3 months, so all those numbers comes from sales of
a) old shit
b) microtransactions and DLCs.
Which only shows how powerful those microtransactions (I'm guessing at least 50% of whole PC pie comes from F2P games - it would be close to mobile/Others gaming) and DLCs are.

With 95% of PC users being pirates Ubisoft must not have a lot of sales if PC can get 23%.

Ubisoft's sales breakdown by platform for Q1 2015/16 and compared to Q1 2014/15,
taken from the quarterly financial report they provide to their investors.

36% Playstation 4
17% Playstation 3
17% XBox One
14% XBox 360
14% PC

27% Playstation 4
23% PC
11% Playstation 3
11% XBox 360
11% XBox One
14% Others
3% Wii & Wii U
'Others' includes mobile and 'ancillaries' which I have no idea what that means.
Maybe it refers to phones, tablets, handheld consoles like 3DS and Vita?
PC continues to grow, taking a piece of everything except for the Wii & Wii U.
PC, Mobile & Ancillaries, and Wii & Wii U, have grown, while others have fallen.
What is everyone's opinion?
