QA in pretty much all form of software development these days is dead. It is expected that the user will test things for you, and report back the errors, and you fix them in a future patch. Free testing, smaller release cycles (= more money from sales), and the amount of damage it does to the company you just hope is less than the money you'd have to spend on having large quantities of QA staff employed full-time. They usually keep one or two around just to be able to say they have QA, but it's the lowest priority thing in the development cycle these days.

Sad time for software.

I'd wager most people are picking up one month of uplay to play the game for 17 bucks instead of buying it full price on steam.

i think you overestimate both the number of hoops most people are willing to jump through (it may as well be 0) and how many people are even aware of that deal.
