Really? First Arkham City and now this?
Although I can't really complain about having one less game to buy in November, can I...

I imagine your joking, because that reasoning is silly. if someone was really set on stealing it, I don't think Delaying it will force them into a purchase of a game they (presumably) had no intention of buying.
Of course, lack of reasoning hasn't stopped Ubisoft from making terrible decisions in the past.

Ubisoft needs more time to perfect the ultimate DRM rapage.

I think this is the most shocking thing I have seen all day. Wait, no, least shocking is what I meant.
That two faced cat - now that is shocking!

Absolutely ridiculous! Because I'm sure this game won't be pirated at all on 360 or ps3. I was thinking of sitting this one out, the series is getting a little repetitive.

It'll show up on torrent sites 4 to 5 days before release like most console games.

I feel the same way. I loved Assassin's Creed II and liked Brotherhood, but I just can't bring myself to care about Revelations.

goddammit...I really don't know if I can wait that long. Guess I'll have to play it on 360, which is fine because that's how I played AC2 and brotherhood, but I just build a new PC and was looking forward to experiencing this game on a high end PC.

No matter, as I still have yet to play through the other 3 AC games. I've been meaning too, but just havn't gotten around to it.

@Khalus You must, they are phenomenal. AC1 should still hold up extremely well, there are only refinements and extensions fo the formula in AC2 and again Brotherhood. It's critical to play all 3 the story flows nicely. Ezio is fantastic as so is Renaissance Italy.. but I still hold a fascination for the Crusader era and it's facets.
Can't wait for Revelations, bring back Altair!

Man my heart sank until I saw it was the PC only. Bah.. My wife will probably be hogging the 360 for Skyrim until June 2012 anyway... :/

They probably need time to implement their webcam powered mandatory facial scan recognition DRM.

You Joystiq folks really called this one. I literally laughed out loud when I saw this headline on my phone.

i wonder how many sales are lost with this? considering that they spend so much money marketing it when it's not available to the pc crowd. feels wasteful to spread them apart
