That annoying day one DLC in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced was less than 3% of its initial Steam sales, but hey, $1 million is $1 million

Edward Kenway looking at a piece of paper with a curious expression.

Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced is, naturally, a modern Ubisoft game—and as modern Ubisoft games are wont to do, it had some really annoying DLC wrapped up into it alongside an in-game cash shop. One point of contention was a day-one map pack DLC for five bucks, which reveals the location of every collectible in game, thus defeating the purpose of… y'know, looking for and collecting them.

What did Ubisoft reap as a reward for this chicanery? Well, aside from a brief dent to its overall Steam review score—one that's evened out to a respectable "very positive" 80% at the time of writing—not all that much.
