I've had enough bad experiences with Ubisoft that I've vowed to NEVER buy another Ubisoft game. I suspect this "change of heart" by Ubisoft is just setting up customers for another huge let down. AFAIC they can pack sand.
Comcast charges $15.00 more per month for their high speed internet if you do NOT also subscribe to their cableTV. In many areas of the country, their basic cabletv package is cheaper than $15.00 ... so there is an initial savings. The problem arises when, in other areas of the county, the basic cable fees (due to sweetheart deals with local government cable franchise agreements) are HIGHER than that $15 so-called "discount".
This pricing model essentially forces people in the areas where there is a possible savings to go ahead and subscribe to basic cable to achieve the discount, even though they may in fact subscribe to satellite TV for actual viewing.
This "sleight of hand" essentially skews the numbers of people actually viewing Comcast basic cable, and results in higher than actual eyes-on-the-screen numbers which impacts the reported cableTV subscribers communicated to any advertisers who contract with Comcast to display their products. They are basically lying to their advertisers.
