If you are wondering why we waited so long to make a comic about the whole Rayman: Legends Debacle, it’s because we wrote this Wednesday when it would have been released (I think) if not for Ubisoft selling out and screwing everyone over. We wanted to make one earlier, but all we could think of was how depressed the whole thing made us. Rayman: Origins was one of John and my favorite games of all time; we actually learned to write comics faster for the sole purpose of playing more of it. We just couldn’t think of a comic that was anything but white hot rage, and we had just done the comic about Monopoly that would have been essentially the same. S eventually we decided to go with a super heavy handed metaphor, and this is what we got.

The thing that makes me the most angry about the whole thing (aside from the fact that I’m not currently playing Rayman: Legends) is that absolutely no one benefits from pushing the Wii U release back but Sony and Microsoft, and they only benefit in that Nintendo is being hurt. Now, a lot more fans will get to play the game because it’s going multiplatform, and this will make Ubisoft more money, but that would have been just as true if the game had been released as scheduled on the Wii U. All that pushing it back does is screw over the company that made the system that the game was designed for and the fans that were expecting to be able to play it now. It’s really despicable business practice by Ubisoft, Sony, and Microsoft.
