Ubisoft Dishing Out Free Games & Refunds Due to “Deceptive Marketing”

In a recent claim of “deceptive marketing” by consumers who purchased the recent release of Might & Magic Heroes VII: Collector’s Edition, Ubisoft is offering refunds and free games.

The controversy took to Reddit after gamers claimed Ubisoft made it unclear that a $100 price tag only included a digital code for the game and soundtrack instead of a physical copy.

Since the slew of outcries against Ubisoft, the publisher is now offering complete refunds and one free game to those who want it to make up for “any frustration and disappointment”.

MIGHT & MAGIC HEROES VII

Ubisoft said the following:

“Ubisoft regrets any confusion created by the marketing materials from our Might and Magic Heroes VII Collector’s Edition. We understand that some customers in North America were not aware the Collector’s Edition delivered digital versions of the game and soundtrack. Ubisoft apologizes for any frustration and disappointment resulting from these items being in digital format vs. physical format.”

The selection of free games are:

  • Assassin’s Creed Rouge
  • Far Cry 4
  • The Crew
  • Toy Soldiers: War Chest Hall Of Fame Edition
  • Zombi

This offer is only available to those who bought the Heroes of Might and Magic 7 Collector’s Edition directly from Ubisoft’s Uplay Shop.
