Sounds like they added it after the review embargo ended but before the game releases to the public.
So time for those reviewers to send their version.
๐ yeah if they want to get blacklisted and sued.
Unless each review copy is internally flagged, I wouldnt expect anyone to own up to leaking the copy to even risk being sued.
You're right, according to Ubi the update on PC was 'included in the 41.6 GB game files ahead of Oct 5'. It was a prerelease patch, not day 1.
Nice of Epic to start directly exploiting the lack of PC physical media around the same time people are talking about getting rid of disc drives on consoles.
Epic? This is Ubisoft.
I think the primary method of PC sales for this game is on the Epic Game Store. Yeah I neglected to consider it's also available from Ubisoft+ or whatever but also does anyone actually use that
Epic Game Store also doesn't have any preloading, meaning they had all the opportunity to deploy Denuvo pre-launch but post-embargo without having preloads as a loose end.
What does Epic have to do with this?
