Unfortunately, this has been a problem for quite a few years now, and a good excuse for cutting down costs.
A 20 page manual for an FPS may be adequate but when it comes down to simulators it is unacceptable!
And the worst part was Lock-On which had no manual but only hotkeys printed and the 100+ page manual available on pdf.
I may be provocative here, but what is the added value of going ahead and buying the game when all the compan offers is a crumpy manual? It is of course the legal option, true, but where is the added advantage?
I had written an e-mail to Ubisoft about this, where their reply was in terms of cost and weight - the usual !
But, I feel that at base-cost of an extra 5 - 8 Euros per game, they could provide a full printed manual.
Whatever happened to making the customer feel exceptional?:hmm:
