I will bet you that this discussion have happened between the devs and the management...and management didn't listen.

Most likely because they didn't get measured on quality, but on deadlines and budget. Ubisoft management is probably right now doing the blamegame for the poor reviews and sales....wonder who becomes the fallguy

Agree with this.... but still think the Dev Project managment takes some of the blame. Had this been the first time they worked for Ubi on SH...then I wouldnt blame them at all.

But we have had three releases now... all of which crammed as much new stuff in as possible, and most of it half done and need 3 + patches to get it working enough to barely call it a final release (one patch being a PAID patch...which was baloney).

So you would think the Dev team would have released this and adjusted accordingly.

What Im trying to say is the blame goes both ways. The devs blame is overpromising/commiting and UBI by not giving enough time or budget. I mean cripes had UBI allowed a few months for beta test....that would have found/fixed most of the major bugs at least.
