Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced’s controversial $85 collection of day one DLC earned Ubisoft an extra $1 million on Steam, it’s been reported.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

That’s according to Alinea Analytics’ Rhys Elliott<\/a>, who has published detailed sales information for the game’s PC release. Ubisoft itself has officially trumpeted 2 million sales<\/a> of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced<\/a> across all platforms in just 24 hours. <\/p>\n

While the game itself has been warmly received, fans have been less impressed by its optional extra packs, which total a collective $85 \u2014 more than the game itself. <\/p>\n

“Come on Ubisoft you just couldn’t hold yourself huh?!” wrote one player via Steam. “Releasing a 70 euro game and on the DAY of the release you slap us with 85 euros worth of DLC packs that are just not cosmetic but give you a gameplay advantage this is why piracy exist and I will be refunding!”<\/p>\n

Backlash at the offering has dragged down the game’s Steam user review average, with many players upset at the principle of Ubisoft launching Resynced with a more expensive DLC collection than the cost of the base game, as well as the fact that Resynced also highlights these extra packs to players in-game via a pop-up message.<\/p>\n
