10 Video Games Where Consumers WON

10. Ubisoft Offer A Free Game As Compensation - Assassin's Creed Unity

Assassin Creed Unity had one of the most notorious video game launches of all time. Because of the baffling graphics, shabby performance issues, dysfunctional online mode, and meme-worthy glitches, Unity was - and still is - the time-hopping series' lowest point by a large margin. Even though the best franchises will suffer a misstep here and there, the drop in quality between this abomination and previous mainline entry Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag was stark.

Ubisoft wasn't just compelled to remedy this issue - it needed to. If the company didn't do everything in its power to undo this travesty, then it could irrevocably tarnish its reputation.

Ubisoft's first attempt at damage control was turning the Dead Kings DLC into a complimentary gift. As nice as this gesture was, it was a hollow reward, since this expansion was barely better than the game itself. (Although the Guillotine Gun, which converts the player's axe into a grenade launcher, was pretty awesome.)

Fortunately, the creators redeemed themselves a little, by allowing anyone who obtained Unity's Season Pass to purchase one of six Ubisoft's titles for free, including Far Cry 4 and the previously mentioned Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag.
