Recently Microtransaction along with the PC version of The Division has started to turn into a PR nightmare.
According to a Dev who works on the title the graphics of the game on PC has been downgraded.
"We really loved the reception to the demo we showed on the PC version at E3. Currently as it stands, there is definitely a lot of push coming from publishers to not make the experience so different on consoles as to alienate people into thinking that next generation is not as powerful as PC. This is probably what happened at Ubisoft Montreal. I think that while making stability changes is definitely important, it does not completely obliterate a lot of enhanced rendering applications."
Oh dear....
"Truth be told in regards to your question that while 'Yes' the lead platform is the PC, we simply cannot have such a big gap. As you know when the first WATCH DOGS Review was published by that one site, Ubisoft called it a "false review" and I am sure everyone can see how bad that sounded when they saw the game did look marginally better than something that was a last generation GTA IV. But no, they will not admit that they practice this or actively downgrade a game. It is much easier to say they removed things for stability which is often a lie as you can tell by the post-issues which are expected in any production we do."
Sure you can find a copy of the devs statement a full version.
But Ubisoft should change their method and show off the console version only avoiding PC until release simple!

It's Ubisoft. That's all that can be said. They constantly fuck themselves over left and right. Reason being they want people who own potato stations thinking they have a worth while investment when they really don't, But to be honest, I haven't bought an ubishit game in years and don't plan on it. It's either their DRM or incompetence that fucks everything up.
Well in anycase as long as they shovel their shit on the pc someone will make it look like it should with mods because well that's pretty much the point with pc gaming. We invest in the hardware and the games will look better than the $400 peasantboxes.

One of the things I don't get is 80% of trailers are viewed by a small group so no point in downgrading later on.
Ubisoft is looking rather incompetence right now along with EA.
