Its Fry Cry 5 on a Latin American island

I gave up on FC5 as the spawning of enemies was really annoying. I cannot see this to be any different

I don't really get the uproar myself, isn't this just the usual kind of marketing that you get from pretty much every company? It's almost certainly something that would filter directly to my junk mail if I received it.

You tick affirmations on terms and conditions to receive this kind of stuff.

There's marketing and then there's nagging. Say you don't have the time to play for a while; do you really want an e-mail reminding you of that fact?

I think part of it is because it is Ubisoft, I reckon it gets less of a reaction if it's a company people like. I doesn't particularly bother me personally but I can see how people would find it intrusive.
