So did the price. Gold edition is 100 bucks in some countries plus whatever DLCs cost Ubisoft tacks on (despite gold part)

The price did not slip through, it was a deliberate choice.

And it's crazy to expect this price while a lot of labour was saved due to AI slop.

So their "fix" was to have an artist do a quick paint-over to remove the most egregious artifacts. Is that... actually any better? Just hire artists to make the damn paintings in the first place.
