It is a marvel this game hasn't been cancelled yet.

    It's amazing they haven't just released some crap and called it a game.

    Games getting their release dates pushed back should be applauded not criticized.

      Except this game's development has been a trainwreck since Day 1. There were many opportunities to release it earlier as a good game, but Ubisoft keeps changing their mind on what dumb monetization model they want to weasel in there.

    The rumour I've heard is that they got a massive grant to develop this game from an Asian government (thinking Singapore but not sure) and if they scrap it, they have to pay it all back possibly with fines, so they're desperately trying to avoid cancelling it. No idea if this is true though.

    This is not a delay. They are updating the window from "Early 2023-24," which the article states is likely anytime this past year to the end of their fiscal year at the end of March to… "Q4 2023-24" which ends at the end of March. So there's no real change to when it could release by (yet).

    Is this bcz they found out nobody wants to play a black flag game without the black flag part? Trailer got a really poor reception so they tried to address the criticism?

    Hey, weren't you fucks whining about how games get released too early and now that one's being delayed you're whining about that too?

    "Gamers" are cunts.

      Sounds like you have issues. Also, there's a difference between games being released prematurely and a game that's been in development for 10 years that completely missed the point of why people wanted it and looks mediocre in every way.

        Sounds like you're a braindead "Gamer" cunt.

        Shut the fuck up and Dorito yourself in the Mountain Dew hole so nobody has to listen to you.
