No one seems particularly shocked that no one is taking legal action against AC Unity.

MacDonalds doesn’t promote their meals as nutritious. Ubisoft promotes their titles as high-quality AAA software, priced between $60 and $70.
Defining functionality can be tricky. It might seem like a simple explanation, but legally it holds weight.
They absolutely can.
The main idea is that frequent McDonald's consumption clearly harms health, just as ignoring Ubisoft's unfinished releases puts you at risk of buying bad games. You could theoretically sue them, but it’s a far-fetched thought. I imagine taking legal action against McDonald's, Sony for uncomfortable TVs, and table makers for my broken toe—definitely a wild scenario!
The gaming world seems to be facing many challenges these days that other businesses don't encounter. Imagine buying a lawn mower only to have it malfunction and fly off, hitting a tree nearby—while you're safe. That would give you a reason to take legal action. Why should game developers be allowed to release products that fail?
I haven't purchased any more Ubisoft titles. Unity was my last shot with them.
Far Cry 3 is a solid title but feels heavily marketed. Watchdogs' feedback is disappointing and the game remains buggy. AC Unity shows major flaws right from the beginning, even at E3. Far Cry 4 is an improved version of 3, but it still feels like a copycat with little new detail. The Crew has its issues—some enjoy it, but I believe it was overhyped. It's similar to Just Cause 2 in ambition but lacks polish. (Just a note, Just Cause 2 is one of my all-time favorites)
