GAMING NEWSUbisoft Commits To Improving Relationship With PC GamersPosted on Friday, February 22 @ 09:34:00 Eastern by Jonathan_Leack
![]() PC gaming has been neglected for almost a decade, but developers are beginning to wake up. Speaking to MCV UK, Ubisoft's Stephanie Perotti shared the company's commitment to become more popular with PC gamers around the world. She said: She continued: Although Far Cry 3 on PC suffered from several glitches and wasn't quite as fulfilling as promised, it was a step in the right direction. Assassin's Creed III did an even better job with visuals that were immeasurably better than their console counterparts, and was much more stable than previous games in the series. Sony recently announced that the PlayStation 4 will be built on x86 architecture which is what the majority of PC games are fond of. Furthermore, it's in the best interest of multiplatform developers such as Ubisoft to work on improving their relationships with PC gamers so not only do the console releases fly off store shelves, but more PC gamers are interested as well. If there's one thing we've learned from releases such as Diablo III and Guild Wars 2 it's that the PC community is much bigger than people realize, and can produce sales figures beyond what even the best-selling consoles can muster. With even less work needed to port games over next-generation, it's a huge potential source of profit that should be fully taken advantage of. More from the Game Revolution Network Comments

"Far Cry 3 and Assassin’s Creed III on PC were very high quality."
If high quality means unoptimized then ok. It did have DX11 (something that should be stanard and not just considered high quality). AC3 did support txaa though which was awesome for the nvidia camp with 600 series cards(But we are very few)

Plus lets all remember Ubisoft spouting their mouths off calling most PC gamers pirates. " It's around a 93-95 percent"
You arnt going to make any friends or customers out of badmouthing a legitimately large paying sector. Since AC1 you had packed your games with shitty DRM schemes(that have hurt your legitimate buyers) which have forced some gamers away from buying your games out of protest.(and because pirates get to play offline but not real customers.) The DRM can be oppresive from not authenticating correctly. Using up a game install any time you even just swap video cards. Always online authentication checks. etc.
