  1. What a bizarre article! Bug lists for games in beta. Then again, could just be me being weird. Oh, well. :-)

    • exactly my thoughts..i was under the impression that is what a beta is for? finding bugs.

      • Betas are for finding bugs right? They know about these ones, so you don’t need to tell Ubisoft about them, which is your purpose in the beta. It’s to stop you wasting your (and Ubisofts) time by writing “Textures are loading slowly” on the beta forums and thinkinng you found summat new :)

  2. I didn’t even realise until now that it would require a subscription.
