So if you ever were curious before but dreaded the bugs and all, now its the time, the game is still gorgeous and surprisingly still have players online for the coop. you can get it at ubi store directly or going https://register.ubisoft.com/acu-notredame-giveaway/ they are also donating 500k for the rebuilding of the monument.

Awesome free PR grab by Ubi!!! I'm sure Ubi hopes their future sales will benefit from all of this.

I'm sure Ubi hopes their future sales will benefit from all of this. you know ubisoft is french right ? when was the last time EA,Bethesda,or WB ever gave a free game ? i mean GAME, not those old trash games which IPs they will never touch again that EA did back then. ubi did after the unity "fiasco",during the division 2 pre order,ac odyssey and farcry5, and not old games either, newly released titles as well.

I'm fairly confident Ubisoft is hoping to get some kind of future tax breaks in exchange for this gesture of good will.

EA has occasionally done it. Although the biggest one was a technical issues when you could get Mass Effect, Dead Space, Mirror's Edge and all those games back in 2011 or so but they did honor it. Ubisoft has done this a few times before. I have AC3, 4, Far Cry Blood Dragon, Watch Dogs and a few other decent titles that they gave away for free.

So, out of curiosity, how true to the real world is the ingame Notre Dame?

Ubisuck could offer me anything they have for free and I would pass.
That companies behavior in almost all my dealings with them was abysmal. Luckily, I haven't had to deal with their crap for a long time, and plan to keep it that way.

Very cool. Fun game and a little different due to the variety of weapons and combat system. It was fun going around the city and a good exercise before the next game that really nailed it. Syndicate, while a little odd due to the two characters, was amazing with London as a setting. Both are very atmospheric.

So, out of curiosity, how true to the real world is the ingame Notre Dame? the monuments are reproduced 1:1, the only one that reutilize tilings texture inside is versalhes, because the france governament didnt allow them to take pictures of some rooms, so you will see the same ceiling murals and pantings on the walls in different rooms, but the archteture is there, some paintings are also forbidden of reproductions i read somewhere, so maybe it was a licensing deal as well.

Ubisoft gonna have the right to tax break, but linked to its donation to rebuild Notre Dame. About the free game, it is a commercial thing I think.

I've read that Ubisoft is giving the rebuilders all of the work they did on the Notre Dame model. They modeled the building so completely that it should help them rebuild it as closely as possible to its pre fire state.

If there were no tax breaks, most charities would fold. People aren't THAT nice in general. Even most churches send out tax documents for your donations. LOL
