I just found out Far Cry 4 won’t work on a Duel Core CPU. I’m a bit behind, but I’m curious—can they legally make that claim? It seems like a possible breach of consumer regulations. I don’t see any mention on the packaging saying a Duel Core can’t run the game. This might be considered misleading advertising since you pay $60 for the game only to discover your CPU can’t access it.

Ubisoft seems to be handling things a bit differently lately. Gaming businesses are increasingly focusing on what players want, which feels good.

It varies; some systems handle it while others might not.

But isn't it against the rules if it wasn't mentioned that a duel core wouldn't run? I'd be upset if I bought the game expecting it to function only to discover it's restricted from even attempting to run on my system. It's not the issue that it can't run on a duel core that I'm concerned about. What bothers me more is the possibility that it was blocked from trying altogether, and it isn't clearly stated. That feels extremely unfair to me.

No. It's legal lol.. It's like buying milk and putting it in your gas tank. "Well, they didn't say it's not safe to put it in the gas tank!"

It seems the essential criteria are noted. The approach is clearly not against the law, though it may be questionable.

The specifications mentioned required a quad-core processor. The listing was on Nvidias website because I didn’t have an easy way to verify other online services. If they say you need quad-core, you can’t expect dual-core performance for the game. It’s similar to how gamers complained about BF4 beta being limited to 64-bit only.

Hmm, they really messed up with the unity joke—though I don’t think I fully agree. Still, their work on Far Cry 4 was solid, with good optimization and no big changes. The visuals are also impressive. They mentioned a key problem before releasing it, which is fair. It’s not right to blame them again.
