Ubisoft Defends AC Black Flag Resynced Microtransactions as Optional Extras
Ubisoft defended Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced against Steam critics, saying the base game is the full, complete experience and paid add-ons are optional. The remake has sold about 2 million copies and sits around 76% positive on Steam, with day-one DLC listed at roughly $84.91 that includes cosmetics and a map pack, though nothing in the core game is gated behind purchases. The publisher contrasts this with other recent titles and argues players have grown more tolerant of cosmetic and optional content in single-player games, even as debates continue in Steam comments.
