    [Feedback] Retail pack

    why does ubisoft only issue hard copies as retail packs?
    for one it is only available in a handful of countries, may ppl cant buy this way or have to wait days and days

    2nd, it is all about the codes.
    this way ubisoft pollutes our planet for nothing.. plastics, transport.. all polluting.. for what? so we can chuck the disc in the bin as soon as we registered the codes? (i didnt put the starter pack cd in the pc either, just got the codes and threw away the disc, like most of us) what a waste and such bad example for all the kids on here.. you want them to be as nonchalant as you guys with our planet in the future?
    i am sure, if the retail pack was downloadable, ubisoft would sell a lot more to impulse buyers.. more profit for ubisoft and a lot less pollution for our planet.. which would mean a better, earth-friendly image for ubisoft as well.

    Also, it is a pity that the release is AFTER dutch xmas, which is on december 5th, however, it looks like dutch ppl aren't allowed to get the new retail pack anyway
    Then..: the new pack has no special items? just a few resources, gems and an adventure that is waay too hard for beginners!? that is hardly a tickle to buy anyway

    Come on Ubisoft.. it is so easy to do better than this!

    Hello,

    I do not have any information on digital versions right now.

    If I do, you guys will be the first to know

    you must understand that you are not the target audience for this. you are 1 in 1000 who won't buy it. i buy it, i LOVE to have retail box with cd and codes, i can put on shelves. its magic to hold or figt them as box.

    you miss the idea

    i am not saying i wont buy it, i am sauying i CANT buy it cos its not available in Holland. also, if i could buy it as a download version, maybe i'd buy more than 1..
    i am sure there are a lot of impulse buyers like me.
    you are 1 in 1000 who is attached to a box for the shelf.
    1 option shouldnt exclude the other, right?
    its a missed opportunity.

    you are missing the point billy, read my opening post

    for one, i dont want to pay lots of extra postage for a cd i dont need in the first place, all i want is the virtual goodies after all.
    for me, sustainability is more important than a game so i really dont need all the extra plastics in my bin..

    Then, as an impulse buyer, if i would want a package like this, i'd want it NOW! and not wait for days and days.
    If i have to wait that long, i change my mind 10 x before actually buying it.
    So its not very commercial of Ubisoft.
    As game producers they should understand the human psyche.. if people can actually have the package they want RIGHT NOW, their sales would explode, i guarantee that

    The starter pack was available as a digital version in a few countries, Poland for example.
    We love our new CM.

    Newfoundland: 20th November 2011 to 25th November 2014. RIP
    It was good while it lasted.

    I agree with you 100%, being in AUS we can't buy it here either, but I would if I could get it as a digital version and more then one. Why do only get a few countries the extra things? are the rest of the world not as important as players?
