Apparently not. Ubisoft is the one who sells you the right to play the game on release date for extra money and punishes others who pay the regular price.
I dunno, given how bad and buggy games are at release these days, seems more like the ones paying more are getting punished.
Sure, that's how we see it but for them that somehow has value. Why would anyone want to rush and pay extra to play the game they don't even know is worth that money and there are no reviews is beyond me.
Hype is an effective marketing tool, If not for that many current triple-A games would sell less, and indies would sell more.
