The PC version of Ubisoft’s Prince of Persia won’t be receiving downloadable content. Ever. A recent posting by Ubisoft’s community manager on their official message board carries the bad news. “Unfortunately for business reasons we won’t be seeing an PoP DLC appear,” he told users. “Sorry guys!” he exclaimed over the Internet after punching every PC owner of the game in the gut with a mere sentence.
What the hell will be Prince of Persia’s DLC? It’s called “Epilogue” and it’s due out in late February. As the name implies, it will take place after the game’s conclusion and have players fighting a new boss in a completely new area with new abilities.
Sounds great, right? Too bad PC people won’t be getting their hands on it.

I bought it for 15, completed it, traded it in for 12.
Wasn't even worth the 3. I had to play it through twice to get the platinum, and the second time through (and the later part of the first) I hated it and had to force myself to play it, just to get the trophies so I could get rid of it.
My first dabble with the PoP series did not go down well with me. :(
Ubisoft has a problem lately where their games start off with a great first impression and then go nowhere.
FarCry2: Holy shit this looks amazing, wow an open world! And then you figure out that once you complete a mission it's gonna take 20 mintues to get another one. Repeat that 50-100 times, enjoy!
Assassin's Creed: Wow look at the damn graphics and animation! Now have fun doing the same thing over and over again for the next 20 hours..
POP: Wow look at the cell shading! It's so magical, wow kinda like ICO or Shadow of Colossus..only not fun and insanely repetative with tons of backtracking!
They come sooo freakin close. All these games have good control and great production values, lots of great ambition and ideas..but they just fall flat. What gives?
Who cares. (Period.)
All I can say is I won't be buying anymore Ubisoft titles, for business reasons of course.
Which will of course mean that PIRACY is the only possible answer, because when a game tanks on PC, it's because everyone stole it.
This has only assured me one thing: I will not be buying Ubisoft games on PC. And since I am a PC gamer, I will not be buying Ubisoft games period. There are hundreds of good games coming out every year, I think I can make do without Ubisoft's B-grade catalog.
