Dear, Ubisoft! F**k this policy. How many years do you need more to understand that this is unacceptable?! Original language, or better - a choice of all available languages - or no buy.

[Serum]

Totally agreed. When I pay full price I want to have all available options, not just a part of it. All languages or no buy.

[DenKa]

The price is not full, but I'd prefer a more expensive but full version or choice between two (cheaper with cut languages or normal price with proper experience).

You can thank your enterprising russian friends for this restriction.

Initially you bought the same version as everyone else, but heavily discounted since russians apparently can't afford to pay what the rest of us do. So they bought several copies and resold them at twice the price, which is still half the price that we pay for a new copy. They made money, we saved money, win-win for everyone. Except the publisher/Steam. Enter region locks, language locks and an assortment of other countermeasures aimed at stopping this practice. And it has been pretty successful.

I do agree that a choice between the two should be available. Full price = full features, reduced price = reduced features. Everyone is happy, except the ones who can't afford it but they were never relevant anyway.

Maybe your people shouldn't have been ripping ubisoft off with your scams.

It'd be great if all Steam games with multiple languages would get shaved off from audio files so that the game requires at least one of the "language" DLC's and has no audio at all as it is.

You just dont buy Ubisoft games, thats how you deal with it. I did randomly get here through discovery queue and added the game into my wishlist, but then I read that its Ubisoft title and came here to see what sort of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ there is this time, just sit back and enjoy the 8/8 misery. :D

This is getting ridiculous. I understand region locks but a language lock. That would piss me off to no end.

Yes, punishing majority because of minority. Great logic.

[Varitus]

+1 from me. No purchase because of that.

Also to those who's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about russians not being able to pay full price.
1. Ubi does not give such option. On steam I can see only this mess and if I go and decide to switch region and buy it for full price - steam will ban me.
2. Compare salaries in russia and in where ever you came from.

Not because peoples live in america we are all rich, lol, you guy think we can all afford a 110,00$ + game ? Even if we got the language in english ( my primary language is french ) I have to pay the game.

[zais]

+1.
Ubi, thanks for saving my money (will never give you a penny for language locked game).

[Zbig]

if you can find a better way to make digital products affordable in regions where people are poorer and far more likely to just pirate without allowing people in rich countries to purchase for a fraction of the price from these other regions, you can probably get Ubisoft or other companies to hire you

sounds like you're buying keys from third party Russians or using a Russian proxy to get better deals tbh

I believe most of contributors to such topics (as this one) are from CIS region.
And we'd like to have high quality content for money (notice that Ubi asks quite high prices for their games, considering 'poorness' of region).

For piracy and RU/CIS copies for US/EUR/... gamers, they will do it with language locked games anyway (just download language files from somewhere else and you are good).
But doing such a trick defeats idea of steam-store for me (why will i pirate part of game and buy rest of it? it would be easier to pirate whole thing).

This thread on other hand is to bring issue of double locking. We have region lock on all games already, and some games getting language lock on top of it.

[Box]

I agree, F*** this! I always prefer to listen to original voice actors who are putting effort and emotions in their work. If game forcing me to listen poor localization it's no buy (and it's always worse than original). A shame i was looking forward for this game.

I'd pay twice to not play with Russian language.

I've got 2 friends that live in ukraine, same thing happened in Division and the siege games, Ubi does NOT like cross-region purchases due to "hurrr you'll buy keys from this region due to price difference!".

So if you go to live in ukraine, russia or china, be sure you you learn the language before you buy any games 'round there.

One of the friends I've mentioned above got into lenghty discussion with their support so he could get access to english version of the game, go figure.
