Watch Dogs PR Stunt Mistakes

Man, what the fucking hell was Ubisoft doing in promoting their game? Sure, ever since the annoucement two years ago, there was a huge amount of excitement coming from the fans of the genre and the company and after the game was delayed until this year, the game was finally released but this kind of promotion they're doing to Ninemsn which is one of Microsoft's news division is WRONG! It's controversial that way that they might have scarred the shit out of Ninemsn that the staffs at Ninemsn made a police report regarding this seriously offensive bullshit! From what was found inside the safe, it's nothing but a copy of the game. The safe eventually started to beep when the staff tried to open it but another bullshit was that another staff received a hang-up message from an unfamiliar phone number. Was that coming from Ubisoft as well? What if that safe really blew up or something?
Eventually, Ubisoft had issused the statement of apology and regret regarding this serious incident but what the hell was the special package all about related to Watch Dogs? At least, they should have promoted the game in good ways, not this regretful mistake! Hell, have they even known what has been going on about the cyber-privacy invasion thing that has been affecting everyone? We may be glad about the YouTube Content ID controversy like even Ubisoft was aware of the situation. Being aware of it as a game company is what will keep your customers and fans safe and sound as well to let them know that YouTube was behind that technical disaster. We don't know if that bullshit is gone or something but we should learn on how to promote our stuffs in a good and interesting way.
Hmm, speaking of Ubisoft, have I played any game published by them? Perhaps time has already told for me.
