Ubisoft is apologizing for the disastrous state of the Assassin’s Creed Unity launch by giving away free games to users affected by the sad state the game came in. Great, we get a couple of downloads and all is well in the world -or is it?
If you do decide to chose one of the free games offered by Ubisoft you’ll be shown a large amount of fine print. Okay, we see these things all the time when downloading games online, but something about this one is slightly different. A difference that Ubisoft hopes you don’t take time to read, because who has time for that.
Well, our friends over at Game Informer did take the time to read over everything. They seemed to have found a clause in the terms and agreements that says by chooing a free game you waive all rights to ever sue Assassin’s Creed: Unity, and or its DLC anytime in the future.
You can read the actual bit here:
- “You hereby irrevocably and unconditionally RELEASE, WAIVE, AND FOREVER DISCHARGE AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE Ubisoft Entertainment S.A., and each of its past, present and future divisions, parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, predecessors, successors and assigns, together with all of their respective past, present and future employees, officers, shareholders, directors and agents, and those who give recommendations, directions, or instructions or engage in risk evaluation or loss control activities regarding the Campaign (all for the purposes herein referred to as “Released Parties”) FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY TO YOU, your assigns, heirs, and next of kin FOR ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, CHARGES, LAWSUITS, DEBTS, DEFENSES, ACTIONS OR CAUSES OF ACTION, OBLIGATIONS, DAMAGES, LOSS OF SERVICE, COMPENSATION, PAIN AND SUFFERING, ATTORNEYS’ FEES, AND COST AND EXPENSES OF SUIT, KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, SUSPECTED OR UNSUSPECTED, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE PURCHASE, ACQUISITION, RENTAL, POSSESSION AND/OR USAGE, AND/OR THE INTENT TO PURCHASE, ACQUIRE, RENT, POSSESS AND/OR USE, THE ASSASSIN’S CREED UNITY VIDEO GAME AND/OR THE ASSASSIN’S CREED UNITY SEASON PASS ON ANY AND ALL PLATFORMS, AND/OR RELATED TO THE CAMPAIGN, WHETHER CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASED PARTIES OR OTHERWISE.”
I suppose most gamers won;t think twice and just snag their free game, but if you’d like to maybe get in on some sort of class-action lawsuit that may be around the corner, you may want to hold off on that freebie. The Ubisoft free game offer is good until March 2015 so you do have some time to wait things out.
