Bought DVD version today in a store, cannot play!
Hi,
I bought the physical DVD version of this game today, legally from a well known store in Norway today, Platekompaniet. There was no warning on the shelf where they had put the covers, there were no warning on the cover itself. And knowing my friends had played this on PS4 for some days already I had no knowledge that it wouldn't play on my PC when I got home.
When I put in the disc, the first thing I had to do was to enter the activation code from inside the cover, then wait for the two discs to install about 13Gb's or so. And THEN when I finnally expected to play the came it came up that the game wasn't released yet! How could I know this?There is nothing on the cover itself stating that you need an internet connection or need to activate it online. And certainly no release date stated. The activation code is now connected to my U Play account, so I guess the store won't take the game back.
Yes, of course, I can wait some days. But... I don't have that much time to play. It's just the weekends that I can do this mostly. Also, it feels unfair. If I knew about this "problem" I would have checked online first if there were some restrictions. But like I said, no date was printed on the cover, no requirement for online activation after a certain date and so on...
I send a mail to Ubisoft support complaining, hoping they would come up with a solution, with pictures of my receipt from the store, but I got an automatic reply saying that they will answer in a couple of days during mondays to fridays...
