News::Ubisoft and PC gamers: This new relationship is not off to a good start

Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon hasnt even been announced for PC. There was a listing for it on the Steam database, but no release date (although a pulled XBLA listing claimed May 1). And yet, right now, you can open uPlay on your PC and trick it into downloading it for you. Then, you can play it to your hearts content. Beginning to end. This isnt some half-assed beta. This is the full, finished game. Its just sitting there on uPlays servers, waiting for the bigwigs to pull the switch. Is this legal? Probably not. And just to be safe, Im not going to tell you how to do it. By tomorrow morning Ubisoft will have fixed this exploit anyway. Theyre not stupid, and in any case, thats not the point. The real point here is this: Ubisoft is off to a pretty poor start on its mission to improve its relationship with PC gamers.
