For the first nine months of fiscal 2009-10, sales totaled €661 million


That equates to $878,303,306.42 USD for 9 months sales.

Yup... they are pretty well done.

Here's an idea.

Not too sure how many of you guys are members of Facebook, but there is an anti DRM group there

http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=312298689495

It's not too active at the mo - but maybe you could join up with them - see what can be done.

You're all welcome to add me too, I'm there under my real name "Adin Roberts" Just make sure that you let me know your forum name here (not too keen on adding strangers)

Sorry for the hijack - but I thought it worth mentioning.

You are not telling the whole story, nor giving dates. Sales and profits are two different things. Any company can have high sales, and still operate at a loss.

Among the comprehensive list of numbers in Ubisoft's first half fiscal 2009-10 report, measuring performance in April through September 2009, one figure stands out: the French company's reported €52,027,000 in not-profit. That's right, Ubisoft's profits are down by more than €70 million (over $100 million) from the same period last year to rest firmly in the red.

From a profitable first half of fiscal 2008-09 of roughly €24 million to just over €52 million in losses in the first half of fiscal 2009-10, Ubisoft's profits have experienced a year-over-year change of -316.53 percent.

* puts on some anti-Flame Apparel *

There.. much better.

I hate to say it, but I'm kinda in the same boat as TC though I wouldn't go so far as to say I've had it and will not play this game ever again.

I am simply not playing it until it gets patched up to what I would consider a "playable state". (And yes, I have all the recommended mods etc)

If Ubisoft can't be bothered to patch the game up (I consider the list of 1.2 to be a step on the way) then I will simply stop purchasing anymore Ubisoft products. (I have been a loyal Ubisoft customer since Rainbow 6 on the xbox) I bought a game expecting a decent experience, not to pay Ubisoft to become an unofficial Beta-tester.

For now, all I can do is say Meh! while flicking my right hand in a dismissive manner.
