Before you download that free game Ubisoft is offering you should read this article!

Many gamers have felt the sting of Assassin’s Creed Unity and the 4 patches needed to fix the broken game that they presented to players when it launched In November.

What you may not know, is that you can sue them over this discomforting experience. The full text, which follows below explains to the consumer that agreeing to accept the game waives all legal rights against the company.

You hereby irrevocably and unconditionally RELEASE, WAIVE, AND FOREVER DISCHARGE AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE Ubisoft Entertainment S.A., and each of its past, present and future divisions, parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, predecessors, successors and assigns, together with all of their respective past, present and future employees, officers, shareholders, directors and agents, and those who give recommendations, directions,

or instructions or engage in risk evaluation or loss control activities regarding the Campaign (all for the purposes herein referred to as “Released Parties”) FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY TO YOU, your assigns, heirs, and next of kin FOR ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, CHARGES, LAWSUITS, DEBTS, DEFENSES, ACTIONS OR CAUSES OF ACTION, OBLIGATIONS, DAMAGES, LOSS OF SERVICE, COMPENSATION, PAIN AND SUFFERING, ATTORNEYS’ FEES, AND COST AND EXPENSES OF SUIT, KNOWN OR UNKNOWN,

SUSPECTED OR UNSUSPECTED, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE PURCHASE, ACQUISITION, RENTAL, POSSESSION AND/OR USAGE, AND/OR THE INTENT TO PURCHASE, ACQUIRE, RENT, POSSESS AND/OR USE, THE ASSASSIN’S CREED UNITY VIDEO GAME AND/OR THE ASSASSIN’S CREED UNITY SEASON PASS ON ANY AND ALL PLATFORMS, AND/OR RELATED TO THE CAMPAIGN, WHETHER CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASED PARTIES OR OTHERWISE.

What you SHOULD know is that if you decline to accept this offering, you are well within your rights to do so as well.

You can start a class action suit against the developer and publisher for several reasons (many of which we won’t list due to legal reasons of our own).

Has Ubisoft gone to far this time?

The biggest thing to bear in mind however is that you will receive and percent of and percent if your case is successful against the publisher, and could be counter sued as well by Ubisoft. So In essence you have and serious decision to make:

Don’t download the “free” game and sue Ubisoft. Ignore the masses and injustice given and continue gaming without worry or reason.

You should also remember that Ubisoft isn’t The only developer being hit with a class action suit this year. Sony was recently sued over Killzone: Shadow Fall when they stated the entire game ran in 1080p.

What they didn’t disclose was that the multi-player ran at a lower frame rate and was upscaled to 720p.

When players noticed they were outraged, and revolted with a lawsuit. You could say Sony and Ubisoft both delivered an unfinished product as in defective.
