Ubisoft was wise. At least this way they still got something. If the price had been any higher, the Norsemen would have just boarded the longships and raided the Ubisoft store.

Wow! This is actually kinda a cool thing... interesting PR strategy, surely a smart way to bring more eyes to the game but yeah... cool nonetheless 🙂
I wonder if they gave the Greeks a discount on Odyssey.

As a Croatian-Norwegian I find this funny. Our tech papers said some of customers got a huge discount of this game. I use Ubisoft+ so it doesn't really matter to me.
Yes, it was a mistake from Ubisoft and lasted for only 30 minutes before they fixed it quickly 🙂
Another fun fact: the city mention in the game "Stavanger" is where I live now 😛 but it's alot of made up bullshit from ubisoft in the game which is not true in reality. I guess they used the location as inspiration.
But whats even more funny is that Eivors mother looks like Aloy from HZD and he did look like Arteus from GOW4 as a kid 😛 This game has many funny things about our city/place here in norway, some alot is made up though.

Got a bit (actually quite more than a "bit") of viking beard going, surely that's worth some discount. If Ubisoft reads this, I'll send pix for codes kkthx. 😛

Oh yes we did... Pretty unfair but I guess that is how the world is.

As an Italian-Norwegian(viking) American I got no discount. Lol!!!
Definitely something new strategy wise I haven't seen before or an interesting mistake.

And that is why we use VPNs (amongst other things). you can be anywhere.
Although I am almost certain those cheapskates are not going to give a discount and it was an error

No, a proper Viking discount is to raid those animals at Ubisoft and pirate it. The only way that games should acquired from Ubi IMO.

Best Viking beard contest for a free copy of the game would be a cool idea! I'd definitely have a shot of winning.

With that mix, they should have charged you double 😛

There's a VikingBay?

I'm waiting for Assassin's Creed Carpathians to get a discount. 🙄
/sad Vlad the Impaler frowns:p

They asked for hard evidence 😀
On another note, Assassin's Creed: Rome (Although I feel like they did that with Brotherhood)

So my Viking heritage is angry who's with me to set sail and raid Ubisoft for game keys? Thor wills it.
The ships will launch from the Uk kind of a reversal of History. (I'll pass the info onto a Norwegian chap I know).

Is that price only available in Uplay Connect client? I don't see that price discount (also it's only in Euro currency) when checking it via browser with VPN enabled to Norway.

My ancestry proves it lol I had no idea about anything except I was Italian and norwegian. Had no idea it was viking decent. Which is rather cool. lol
