    Some of Ubisoft devs don't care about PC

    UPDATE: Alright so this is definitely a real comment which has been confirmed by a number of people and places. Now I've seen a lot of talk about the comment perhaps being misread out of context. And I will say this. It IS quite possible. However given the past of Ubisoft and many other game companies/developers, it still would not surprise me if the comment was intended as an "I don't care about pc" kind of comment.

    So in short, I myself still see the comment is very likely being written as an I don't care about pc. But I would very much love to be proven wrong on this. But I doubt there really is much way to prove this in all honesty. People can easily lie. Take Ubisoft's dear PR replies about the graphical changes for example as seen here.. https://twitter.com/UbiTessa/status/478622295662297088

    Lovely isn't it? It's like being spat on the face. Anyways, I think I can honestly say I am disappointed in Ubisoft regardless of this comment in the code.
    There is plenty more that I do not like about them. They're just as bad as EA if not worse. And thats hard to beat.

    ORIGINAL POST:
    VVVVVVVVVV
    So due to the recent modding of the game that brings back some of the E3 graphical effects, modders stumbled upon a comment made by a developer in one of the game's code files.

    Now, I cannot confirm that this is definitely not fake. But I've seen a number of different modders talking about this much earlier on. But now theres screenshots of it popping up.
    So... Ubisoft.. Is this really how some of you feel?



    If this is indeed real, I can honestly say I am truly disappointed in you developers that feel this way. You are the problem that plagues the gaming world. And this doesn't apply to just Ubisoft, but any developer/game company out there. There is nothing wrong with consoles. But seriously, why go and limit yourselves. Watch Dogs could have been real nextgen stuff for PC and probably somewhat for the new consoles as well. But as with many releases from you, you've left nothing but a bitter taste in my mouth. I won't be supporting you any longer unless I can truly see that you care about what you sell to your consumers. Enough is enough. Im done giving you chances and pre ordering.

    My 2 cents worth. Hate it or love it.

    Let's see how Ubisoft will handle this. What do you think? Close this topic and remove OP? Call it fake? We'll see.

    I am really tired of Ubisoft actually. They don't care what they give out to the consumer these days

    well that is not something to shout about..

    I'm a software engineer and this is one of the kindest comments i have read )

    Doesn't mean anything though, the coder could simply love ps4 and have a Machintosh.

    Assuming this is real, it could also be taken as sarcasm. A dev creates a beautiful looking product for PC, and then is told to downgrade it to make it match up with inferior hardware (consoles), and sarcastically leaves this bit in. I read it as "This is PC only, so who cares right?"

    A message to whoever wrote that thing:

    Well, I can honestly say that I feel the same way about Ubi products for a few years now as a PC gamer, I just don't care and don't buy them on full price because your ports lack the kind of quality I'd expect from such a big company. You create garbage, your work is worthless, you should be fired. People like you made the gaming industry an unhealthy place for PC gamers, people like you are the cancer video games don't need.

    I can't imagine they left that in there to make people angry( because gamers have been disgruntled by Ubisoft many times before) but more of a hint that the pc version didn't get the attention it should have,This is PC only who cares.. as in not interesting enough to invest in,either that or they were being ****heads.
