A couple of days ago, Ubisoft revealed some new prices and new editions for Rainbow Six: Siege. The French company was planning to completely remove the Standard Edition and replace it with the Advanced Edition. And since the Advanced Edition is more expensive, a lot of players expressed their frustration to Ubisoft via its social media.
As Ubisoft claimed:
“The Advanced Edition comes with all of the content that the Standard Edition had – access to all Rainbow Six Siege content: modes, maps, weapon options, level progression and the standard amount of time required to unlock the original 20 Operators. As an added benefit, the Advanced Edition comes with 600 Rainbow Six Credits, and 10 Outbreak Collection Packs.”
Furthermore, the Gold Edition was lowered from $90 to $70, whereas the Complete Edition was raised from $90 to $130.
After the backlash, though, Ubisoft decided to re-introduce the Standard Edition and will make the following changes:
- For our veteran players, any of you that play an online match between now and March 6th will receive the upcoming Ash Sidewinder Elite skin for free. The Ash Sidewinder Elite will be automatically granted to your inventory at the launch of Year 3 Season 1.
- For our newcomers and those of you concerned about introducing your friends to the game, we will be keeping the Standard Edition in the store at the current price.
- For those of you who have raised concerns over the Starter Edition when it comes to acquiring Operators, we will be sharing more information about our next steps during the Six Invitational. We recognize that this has been a point of frustration for new players, as well as existing players bringing their friends into the game, and have been working on how to make this process more fluid.

Bunch of greedy parasites…. i bought the $15 version.
“those of you concerned about introducing your friends to the game”
With Ubisoft’s track record any person should be ‘concerned about introducing friends’ to any Ubisoft game!

It’s his Widow running things. He died about 4 years ago.
Tam Colnancy doesn’t let women run his affairs. He makes games from the grave.
oops, you were being funny. My bad.

“Why they love PC”
Tim Colancy is a busy guy.
Ubisoft…..Ubisoft. Why?
You fight piracy with everything that you can and at the same time give people more reason to pirate your games.
Guillemot needs to hire a gamer that has been around long enough to know about the hobby and consult with him before trying things like this and have the PR department and Marketing consult with him before making statements.
It would have been so easy to avoid this latest nonsense.
??????????
“those of you concerned about introducing your friends to the game”Anybody should be ‘concerned about introducing friends’ to any Ubisoft game!To recap the past 9 days of shame from Ubisoft,Jan’ 18: ‘Why We Love PC’ cringe worthy video for some good PRJan’ 23: Denuvo confirmed for the upcoming Far Cry 5Jan’ 25: Loot boxes confirmed for Ghost Recon: WildlandsJan’ 26: Price increase and more loot boxes for Rainbow Six: Seige
Hmmmm…At least give some space/indent and paragraph the text, if you wanna copy/paste what @bubbob:disqus wrote before.
LOL.
I just tried a copy/paste of Bub&Bob’s comment and posted it and it was exactly how Bub&Bob posted it and not like cryusa. It’s bots doing this but poorly programmed bots.
Yeah. But, what’s the motive and reason behind this whole copy/paste thing ?
I checked their profile as well, and I don’t see any Advertising/Marketing link as well, assuming they are just trying to market their products ?, but nope.
Something else is going on, or these bots are just trolls.
I may be going out on a limb here but I think these bot posts on Disqus may be to seed a larger farm of bots. Most sites have triggers for spam bots and 1 of those triggers is a newly registered member posting certain things on their first few posts so using bots to post multiple “innocent” posts over time across a variety of Disqus supported sites lessens at least 1 of the triggers.
I see such accounts a lot and also can’t imagine any viable reason behind this practice. I don’t think likes on Disqus are coveted enough for people to buy them. Also, those bots don’t even seem to maximize upvotes by liking their own comments.
Come on guys/gals, after all UBISOFT really cares for us all Gamers. They indeed do have concern for the PC gaming community, and most of their titles are totally worthy of purchase.
Support them, please, at least for this move….
