Deal: Immortals Fenyx Rising And Other Ubisoft Titles Have Been Discounted In The UK

Picked up Fenix Rising the Shadowmaster edition from Game today for £29.99.

So Ubisoft likes to screw over gamers that just paid full price for these games? 🙄

F sake, bought this last week on PS5 for £45.

It's my understanding that this title has underperformed pretty badly on all platforms, despite positive reviews and word of mouth. At least part of the issue is its now fairly well established that Ubisoft are pretty aggressive with their price cutting when a game drops out of the charts (Fenyx barely scratched the top 10 in many regions). I've seen loads of comments along the lines of "looks interesting, I'll pick it up on sale". Nevertheless, going on sale for as much as 50% off less than 2 weeks after launch is pretty terrible... last time I remember that happening to a big holiday title was Fallout 76... and Fenyx is a damn sight better than that was at launch.

Is Valhalla this season's best big game?

@KelticDevil I find it interesting that Sony, Activision 2K and other companies are insisting that AAA games need to be $70 to be sustainable because dev costs have skyrocketed. Even Microsoft's CFO was saying the increases were justified due to the costs and the fact that games haven't kept up with inflation. Fans continuously defend "costs of everything have to go up because of inflation and games haven't kept up until now!" - while ignoring that applies to commodities, not discretionary products.

Meanwhile Ubisoft, one of the biggest studios there is, with, therefore, some of the highest budgets there is, are still doing $60, haven't commented yet until 2021 about the $70 increases, launches games, then 2 weeks later drops them to $40....not good enough? How about $30 next month? And they don't exactly seem to be teetering on bankruptcy.

Someone's narrative is wrong. And it's not the company that's making fortunes at bargain pricing.

I don't mind the company's lying to charge more, I expect that from them. I mind the fans who endlessly defend "but inflation!" Clearly these are individuals who make way too much money, that apparently increases greatly year on year unlike most people, relative to the amount of sense and thought capacity they possess.

FWIW, Legion is a steal for $30. It's a really solid and fun game - if you like the Watch Dogs formula in general.

@Lionyone No, Cyberpunk 20......oh.....yes. Yes it is.

@NEStalgia

I completely agree.
