Ubisoft: No Prince of Persia PC DLC for you

If you enjoyed the PC version of Ubisoft's recent revamp of Prince of Persia, get ready for some bad news. While the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the action-adventure game will be getting a downloadable expansion pack that will continue the game's storyline, PC owners won't get that opportunity.

Big Download emailed Ubisoft last month to inquire if the announced console DLC would also show up on the PC. We never received a response from the publisher. However, In a post on Ubisoft's message boards their community manager has posted up this message: "Unfortunately for business reasons we won't be seeing any PoP DLC appear. Sorry guys!" In the meantime, the publisher will release this mini-expansion, which has the Prince and his sidekick Elika face off against a new enemy called the Shapshifter, for the Xbox 360 and PS3 on Feb. 26.

Such crap. I feel so second-rate. I haven't purchased PoP yet; I've been waiting until I finished a couple games first. But when I did, I wanted to get the PC version. Now I don't want to. For business reasons, they're cannibalizing their own PC sales.Posted at 7:39PM on Feb 2nd 2009 by Sokkratez

Well a great big F*ck you right back atcha' Ubisoft. I'll just keep my money then or give it to one of your competitors.

Guess that means no more buying Ubi games on PC -- and since 90% of my game time is on the PC, I guess that means no more buying Ubi games. Thanks for nothing, assholes.Posted at 8:39PM on Feb 2nd 2009 by James

I won't buy the PC version then. For business reasons.Posted at 5:05AM on Feb 3rd 2009 by malau

Then i wont be buying Ubisoft games anymore .. for business reasons. I havnt played one of their games since they started to use StarForce. Maybe they will start to make some original games instead of rehashing old franchises. French tossersPosted at 7:27PM on Feb 3rd 2009 by S1mon

Sorry Ubisoft, I'll keep my money in my pocket when considering your titles.

Treating PC Gamers like red headed step children isn't a wise decision.Posted at 8:06AM on Feb 7th 2009 by Ladron

UBISOFT totally ignore the majority who is playing on PC platform.
Anyway, this POP series is already a failure. I suppose Jordan Mechner will feel the same too!
Looking forward to POP Movie next year @,@Posted at 10:54AM on Feb 26th 2009 by Exodia

To tell the truth... they did a good job with POP 4 on PC.
The entire POP trilogy, Sands of time, Warior Within and Two Thrones were done good for PC. Not like shitty transports you see nowadayz....

I am still playing Warior Within on PC. and i love it. IT is Great.

I bought POP 4 for pc because there was no DRM.

They are trying to please us but they only go 60% of the way with no expansions for PC.Posted at 3:51PM on Mar 4th 2009 by BRENT

I'm not angry im'just... Disappointed (for ''business reasons'' ofcourse).Posted at 5:18AM on Mar 21st 2009 by DaXeL

Can any one tell me why in Pop: Sands of time the Prince is having an affair with farah, when he was married to the Princess of Persia and all of a sudden Princess vanished after Pop3d.... Why? Prince of Persia without Princess of persia is incomplete.... we fans must call Jordan Mechner.
