Uplay And Other Ubisoft Logins Unavailable During Ubisoft Forward

During their Ubisoft Forward presentation, the company asked people to login to their accounts to claim the rewards for watching the show. Sadly the system did not allow logins or password changes before or during the show.

Skewed and Reviewed have posted an image of the error message in a new post.

Well, that was a short article. Great journalism /s

Garethvk2014d ago

Let me help you out. You do see the tag "Image" correct? It is not "Article" it is an image. One is written, and the other is visual. Since this is visual there is no need for text as the image and descriptive text explains the image. Do we really need 500 words saying what the picture is about? Remember a picture is worth a thousand words.

Skuletor2014d ago

No, but the 'article' could have said something along the likes of, "we reached out to Ubisoft and will update the story when we here back from them" or something like that.

Garethvk2014d ago

If you knew how the industry worked you would know that nobody is going to respond on a Sunday morning especially with their presentation going on. But since you asked I did write to a couple of reps one via e-mail and one on Linked In. So since they did not reply and since it was topical I did not see the need to wait around and include that.

Father__Merrin2014d ago

they have said everyone will get the rewards now

Garethvk2014d ago

Good. How will they handle knowing who was watching and who was not? Is it everyone wit a valid Uplay account will be assumed to have watched?

Father__Merrin2014d ago

i read on ubisoft support tweet that they will make rewards availiable asap. i think the log in issues was a stunt to drum up social media and hype imo

Garethvk2014d ago

You may have a point. Is it for anyone with a valid account?

Profchaos2014d ago

Yeah I was ultra pissed at this I woke up at 4am for a free game couldn't log in struggled to get back to sleep

Garethvk2014d ago

Exactly. You made the effort and should not have to miss out. Let us know if it worked out for you.

I'd like to see how long this small gaming website lasts until it closes down like the hundreds that came and went way before it.

BrainSyphoned2014d ago

So a service doesn’t work when tons of people try and break the door in? Crazy, unheard of and unprecedented.

Rockstar launches official marketplace for mods

Rockstar has launched an official marketplace for "every server and every player" to buy mods: Cfx Marketplace.

I wonder how much of this isn't just taken work of others who have modded for free.

Edit: Also, great way for R* to take popular ideas and build them into GTAVI based on demand.

What I see happening here is, R* is going to ban mods in GTA6 UNLESS you buy them from the marketplace and R* then gets a cut of that sale.

ActualWhiteMan10h ago

Ah, perfect timing with them taking down the Bully online fan mod. Greedy a$$ company.

Christopher8h ago

It's okay as long as they get a cut of the money.

fr0sty8h ago

Expect R* to force it on you.

Snookies122h ago

Yep, right there with you. I'll happily donate to a mod creator if it looks really cool, or if I enjoy it. But expecting payment up front? Nope, not touching it.

I'm not entirely sure how to read this, as it doesn't seem exactly like an exact parallel to Bethesda's paid mods shenanigans.

Rather than single player stuff, this appears to be aimed solely on Cfx Servers. From what I've gleaned, apparently Rockstar bought the Cfx mod team several years ago, coming a few years after weird contentions led them to ban a few of their members. Ultimately, the question is if they plan to keep this contained to only online/servers.

I have to guess to a degree yes. It'd be pretty hard to "force" paid mods for single player when modding files locally on your own machine, but much easier for servers they'll control. So perhaps this is their soft launch ahead of GTA6 online and they'll clamp down more tightly on non-official servers going forward? Ever since they've become a 1 or 2 property studio, I haven't really cared much for Rockstar stuff, so I'm not entirely up on everything surrounding this. Sounds like it has the potential to be problematic further down the line, but right now fairly easy to ignore...I think lol.

Can this mother fucker just get lost already

PRIMORDUS1d ago

He belongs in here ⚰️, hopefully sooner than later.

MrDead9h ago(Edited 9h ago)

Kotick Made $155 million from MS in the buyout, the little b*tch needs to stop whining. Thanks to this Microslop deal and massive industry consolidation thousands upon thousands of devs and other workers lost their livelihoods. This greedy piggie pervert needs shut up and f-off.
