I made the first thread advising people of the first ninja ETA edit that Ubisoft made on their news site.
Well, there has been an other ninja edit, this time on Steam forum.
Ubisoft have potentially further delayed the ETA again.
This is the new update on the Steam forum
"Update: November 21st, 3:30PM Due to a minor delay this patch may be pushed to sometime early next week. We apologize for the inconvenience, and will update you if we have a new ETA."

Minor delay? 3-4 days after release is more then just a minor delay! So basically, who knows when this patch will come.
According to their original post, Ubisoft had claimed to have already fixed the black screen issue and implied that they were just waiting for the rest of the patch to be done.
"We have been able to remedy the issue... Though Patch 1.4.0 will contain additional fixes on release, we wanted to let users know that the black screen issue has been tackled. An update containing the full list of fixes will be posted to the blog prior to the patch being released on Friday."

What the hell is going on with this company. Are they bullsh1itting us? If they have already "remedied" the black screen issue then why not just release a hotfix rather then make us wait for a full patch release?
This black screen issue is a serious issue that is effecting many customers. The Ubisoft news live feed (for the black screen issue) currently has over 1000 listeners, and the main black screen thread has over 55,000 views. This is a massive issue for Ubisoft.
The size of this issue makes it reasonable to conclude that Ubisoft knew about this issue prior to release. If so, this means that they deliberately misled their customers. Remember that there was a PC review embargo prior to release. Makes you think, no? There was a truth embargo on the real state of their game.
If in the unlikely chance that they didn't know about this issue prior to release, then that means that Ubisoft simply didn't test their game extensively enough. This is disgraceful considering they spent many millions on just marketing.
Something smells fishy. Vote with you voice!
