Youtube-gänget Team Epiphany kan vara på spåret till en liten konspiration kring Ubisofts kommande actionspel The Division. Under ett besök hos Ubisoft i New York ska en anonym anställd hos Ubisoft Massive efter en fråga om skillnaderna mellan de olika plattformarna spelet ska släppas på orsakat några problem avslöjat att de hade varit orättvist för konsolversionerna om man pressat PC-versionen allt för mycket.
"It is definitely a factor. But one good thing about The Division is that we've always considered PC as a separate platform. I've worked on projects before where the PC version's a port from a console, so it carries those limitations over, but we've always been in the mind that we'll have a dedicated PC build, so it hasn't really held it back too much.
We do have to kind of keep it in check with consoles because it would kind of be unfair just to push it so far away from them."
I en värld där många redan tycker att PC-versioner av storspel får en styvmoderlig behandling, kolla bara fiaskot kring lanseringen av Batman: Arkham Knight till PC, är det här beviset för att utvecklare struntar i PC-marknaden? Inte om man ska tro Ubisoft själva, som dementerar att PC-versionen av The Division ska ha "dummats ner" till konsolernas nivå.
"It has come to our attention that a comment from one of our team members has been perceived by some members of the community to imply the PC version of The Division was 'held back' and this is simply not true. From the beginning, the PC version of The Division was developed from the ground up and we're confident players will enjoy the game and the features this version has to offer. And the feedback from PC players who participated in the recent closed beta supports this."
Vad tror du? Är detta Ubisofts försök att undvika PR-problem, eller har det hela haft sin början i en kommentar som missförståtts?
