Ubisoft Backtracks After Fans Slam Black Flag Remake's Microtransactions

Looks like Ubisoft got the message loud and clear. Per Eurogamer, the company has quietly removed a line from its latest financial report that once claimed microtransactions make games 'more fun.' That bold statement had drawn widespread mockery last year.

The timing couldn't be more pointed. The move comes as the publisher's new release, Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, is being review bombed on Steam. Players are furious that the single-player remake includes in-game purchases.

Despite the backlash, Eurogamer notes the title had a strong financial start, reportedly pulling in roughly $14 million ahead of launch.
