Last year, Ubisoft revealed it would launch the free-to-play PC game Ghost Recon Online some time in 2012 that will be supported by micro transactions. The free-to-play model has been part of Ubisoft’s counter to the piracy problem. Now, Ubisoft has gone off and registered a dozen domains with “online” in the name like RainbowSixOnline.com and SplinterCellOnline.com, hinting at the possibility of releasing several more free-to-play versions of its games. The list of newly registered domains includes: BlazingAngelsOnline.com, FarCryOnline.com, RabbidsOnline.com, RavingRabbidsOnline.com, RaymanOnline.com, RocksmithOnline.com, WatchdogsOnline.com, and more.
Hanzala from eXputer: "With Ubisoft's practices becoming increasingly anti-consumer lately, the destruction of The Sands of Time Remake looks almost inevitable."
Hey Ubi, here's a gun, don't shoot yourself in the foot.

Top executives including games boss Sean Shoptaw have also been promoted…
This is interesting news for comic and Far Cry fans as something new in the universe for the game is always welcome. Villains from popular Far Cry games are transported into prehistoric times by the priestess Batari, who has pulled them from their lives before they've committed their most heinous crimes.

Why do they make every f****** thing goofier and goofier
Watch Dogs become whacky, Assassins Creed jumped the shark, Ghost Recon become less serious now this
I think it is the trend. They look around and say ok; what can be done that will not infringe upon the next game and this is what happens. I heard rumors of the next Far Cry offering may be in Alaska and there was also an Online offering coming. So we get this to tide us over.
Oh good lord...
Intredasting...
