I'm curious though whether there is some sort of publication agreement stipulated about the number of patches. Notice for example that the previous two games had exactly 3 patches after release (+1 add-on). I know that some major publishers used to limit the number of patches that would be issued for the game before it was even published. Not sure if that is the case anymore. However I would be very surprised if there were no provisions in the contract for this game for post-release support. That's really not how software generally works, so I'd be surprised if it was dropped. Something would have had to gone really, really wrong for that to happen. Honestly, if anything has gone spectacularly wrong so far it's the DRM. If Ubi hasn't dropped the DRM, I would be surprised that they would drop the developers. It's obvious that they're far from desperate at this moment.
Anyway, yeah, I don't think there's any hint of it not selling well, to be honest.
