This is what happens when Corporate Communications don't bother giving basic guidelines on what kind of talk can be misinterpreted (and they clearly didn't do a good job differentiating GRO from GRFS PC....)

Sebastien Arnoult (guy quoted) is a producer on a free-to-play game, and what he said was while referencing HIS game, not all of Ubisoft. It's like having a GameStop manager get quoted as saying they won't be selling any more games, that they'll be selling movies instead. Does ONE manager's comment automatically mean all of the company is doing that??

Anyways, Seb was orginally with GRFS PC. Then, GRFS kind got rebooted, so the studio porting the PC title decided to do their own thing, and pitched the free-to-play Ghost Recon Online. After all, their assets would go to waste otherwise :P And so what if he called PC gamers pirates? If that helped him pitch his game to higher-ups, than cool, it means PC gamers are getting a game that has the same production values as a 50 dollar boxed product, but for FREE, with a different business model. What's the big deal?

As for GRFS, its still on track for the X360, PS3, and PC (different studio for the PC port than the one that was originally supposed to do it, of course).

For the first time in years, I have PS3 achievements, and even the X360 & Steam ones seem up to date. Unfortunately, my WoW account says that it "does not exist" ...

Is anyone else having this problem???

I had no idea the mega64 guys were doing commercials now... (only occasionally stumble on their videos). Anyways, i thought this was pretty good.

Might have been a better fit for a game like Kenka Boncho: Badass Rumble though. :)

not to be mean, but if she wants a break, i agree with EpicSteve. she's probably more interested in someone else, which is why she is spending more time elsewhere. whether or not she's done anything doesn't matter much, because we're talking about feelings here, not actions. the best you could do is let her do her thing, and if she comes back, fine... if not, fine... just make sure you have things to keep your interest towards yourself, your friends, etc. and not be focusing on her. if you focus on other things, you won't be a mess, and you can deal with things as they come with a cooler head once she figures out what she wants. also, bang her sister if she's hot (obligatory forum mentality)

I've been lurking on the site for some time... but i guess i need to be more social... follow away! :)

except for LAN? =P
