Actually, our colleagues at Ubisoft are extremely interested in making this game a success, they care about our opinion and yours, and everyone we work with there is understanding and cordial and more than willing to listen and change their mind.

Having said that, I'm glad to announce that the debacle has been resolved.

We will be making the filter optional, however turned on by default. And we will be adding a large epilepsy warning to our splash screen. I am almost certain that this update will hit the steam servers on March 30th and thus seamlessly make it onto everyone's machines when the game is installed on the 31st.

The March 30th update will also address some of the issues reported with the Russian version, but we'll provide more details with the patch notes once we know for sure what it'll contain. Obviously, we need to test the heck out of all the changes to make sure we don't introduce any new bugs while fixing the old ones (the team's favorite past time lately as it seems).

So there! Do a happy dance, I know I did.

As a diagnosed and confirmed Epileptic, I thank you and Ubisoft for seeing sense. I appreciate the opportunity to "Play at my own risk". Its nice to know I won't have to contact the Epilepsy foundation of America to get them to talk sense into Ubi and make this 'safety feature' optional. Particularly since "photo sensitive" epileptics are not common to all the very small minority of the population that has seizures.

Again, thank you.

(Does a Happy Dance)
