Throwdown Ep. 11 – “Stop Using Embargoes as a Weapon”

Tony Polanco from The Koalition writes:

"Tonight’s featured topic is about video game embargoes. This week showed the world how embargoes can be used by developers to withhold information from the public. This was the case with Assassin’s Creed Unity, a game that had its embargo lift a full twelve hours after it was released. We contrast this with Dragon Age: Inquisition‘s embargo date which was more than a week BEFORE its release. What do embargoes say about a publisher’s faith in their game and what do we think of them overall? We delve into this topic head on."

Embargoes have definitely been working against a slew of devs and publishers as of late. It's a great way to alienate your entire fanbase. GG, y'all. GG.

Developers are not making u go buy there game day 1. Have some damn patience ....wait for reviews

Romudeth4198d ago

You're missing the point. If an embargo is set to the day the game is released that is a deliberate attempt to withhold information from people. That's wrong and speaks to how little faith a publisher has in their product.

You have a point, but it doesn't alter the fact that publishers are knowingly putting out shoddy games and using embargoes to stifle the facts. It's going full circle though, it's starting to generate negative press for publishers. I think some recent high-profile broken games have been so blatant that the public and press can't ignore it any longer.

Do the NPCs still randomly levitate every now and then? Even years later I noticed they hadn't patched that out

Honestly I loved the PS4 ACs. I'd love next gen ports of Black Flag, Unity and Syndicate
