I don't mean to pick on you specifically because I know this is a commonly held opinion but I personally never understood what was so great about the concept, either. I don't really know what everyone expected the hacking mechanics to be instead. Maybe I lack imagination, but I figured it was either going to be some kind of annoying minigame or the point-and-shoot hotkey we actually got. I just don't see how else it could have been done. As for the news, Ubisoft always used to talk about how Watch Dogs was going to be their new big franchise. I think it would be bigger news if they weren't working on a sequel. Hopefully they'll have learned something from the original. The pessimist in me wants to say that they've probably only learned they can get away with microtransactions in the singleplayer game and millions will buy it anyway.
They essentially validated Watchdogs 2, 3, and 4 after investing heavily in promoting the initial Watchdogs. It seems they wouldn’t allocate such resources without multiple upcoming titles in mind.
