Ubisoft Doing Away with Printed Manuals

(emphasis added)

Good find! If they cut the price of their games by 50% in return then it would be fine, but for >=40$ is still have to think back to my old Aces of the Pacific, Aces of the Deep or Jane's Longbow printed manuals with 100s of informative and educative pages...

I think they are presently pressing forward quite fast to get to a pay-as-play games basis with monthly user fee per title or so. Then you'd already have conditioned your customers to purely digital manuals. I'd be really surprised if my notion is wrong here and it is just to save cost, or even if it were really the s*t they keep telling people... robust... LOL
