Because Canadian laws likely prevent it.
Meanwhile I -still- can't access https://club.ubisoft.com/ at all to use my points, unless I disable CORS security support in my browser because apparently ubisoft has nitwit sysops that don't know how to configure an httpd lol.
The fact that Ubisoft read's these thread but choose to ignore us, just tells me that they dont care...
There is only one way to answer such arrogance by a game company...
My wallet will ignore any future ubisoft titles
And i prob wont miss it too, i know pcdr have a cool game brewing that will be released in 19... so im good.
I really hope they stick to a bad april fool's joke...
Else it's a(nother) stupid nail for a grown-too-fat companie's coffin. Reading the entire news-msg they released it tells you that it will shove a large, spiked "Uplay club" into their fanbase's a** and detonate it right there, while trying to sell it as if it was a wonderful act of love for anyone affected. Sry but FUself Ubi-manager ! Not only that your kind tend to ruin great franchises and fire great project leaders because of personal big-ego issues, (yeah, remember the storytelling course after AC2? R.I.P.) you as well don't know how to treat a community well/right.
This nail went straight through your own vains. If this is about how to go down with a big explosion of sh'tstorms, then that's the only thing you're doing right.
We've had a lot of bad jokes from companies like E.A., Ubisoft, Bethesda or Steam (right in that order), so don't you dare to wonder why ppl getting upset with those announcements. Get over your mess and start gathering your remaining social senses.
Oh and just btw. I'm just an average player with roundabout 1200 Club points, earned long before that dumb uplay-club idea, so get to understand why it's a bad idea to feed ppl with self made "candy" (to lure ppl towards the 2nd worst launcher of the three (supposed to be) serious PC launchers in total) and make them puke all of it afterwards because of... Wow, marketing idea from fleshly graduated marketing students that should've better joined a B.King/McD career to limit their greedy idea's impact radius to a regional disaster.
Dear Ubisoft, you can blame yourself to get to read such sh'tstorm-like comments, I hate to write that way, as I find there's pretty much enough of poisonous communication online, but at a point you feel betrayed for literally getting ripped off your - listen up carefully: - LOYALITYsh POINTS, you have to kick the company awake that comfirmed such a devastrous step against their customers. (I call them loyality points, because Ubisoft obviously did energe with this to differ from competiting launchers/DRM-software.)
And in case... just in case this was an attempt to make a joke... fire the guys responsible for writing jokes and the ones who gave them the job under your oversized roof. This ain't be funny in any way.
What the ... ? I was new to Uplay, collecting these points little by little, playing games that I like for fun, not really for collecting or achievements. I've got 84 now, and I was pleased that one day I'll have a discount to buy another game on Ubi store. And now you tell me I must spend everything before May 31st?
Should I hurry and collect a hundred and decide ASAP what I want to buy from your store in fear that I'll lose everything in 3 months? Should I play games for collecting those points of yours and not for my own fun? Do you wanna reward me for my loyalty or for ****ty challenges that I must complete so that you throw me a bone like I'm a dog? Oh, and the bone I got will expire in 2 years, better chew it quick.
Guess I'll pass this time, Ubisoft. Don't want any more business with you guys. You made me wonder how I could even put my faith in Uplay.
2517 Units. And now 565 will expire,unless i use them.
Taken directly from your Club Unit page,
"Redeem your Club Units now and enjoy all your Club benefits"
Ok then. On what exactly? I spend some units on Evie in Odyssey ... not even that good. But then that's it.
There's this free extra you get whilest playing your games, and now they expire, because people don't use it on ... weak rewards?
Iv'e yet to see the first who buys 10 games each day with the % reward, and you can't buy a game or something special if you save up, so where is the logic in expiring the points?
You don't gain anything, except people's frustration, and you sure as hell don't loose anything.
Give some ACTUAL rewards then if you want us to spend them, or stop with the system altogether.
Now i have points, gotten as a nice extra, for free. Taken away just as easily. No way to spend them, but let's just take it back for added frustration, because, ****, you know, we can.
Shame on you Ubisoft; it's appalling! Imagine the bank saying you need to spend your savings before x date or else they're keeping it.
Airmiles did the same thing and because of the masse opposed it they changed it back again. That's what we need doing. There is NO good reason for doing this; disgusting!
me too got email, im going to lose 90% of my points( from 641 and ill lose 541points!!)
...what UBI? are you serius?
this really p.i.s.s.ed me off, im so happy slowly gathering points for years!! now you want to take it away!!
ok i spent them already all,..
guess now ill seldom playing your games,. and ill skipped TD2
thank you
S.H.A.M.E on you,
