Assassin's Creed Unity Season Pass Free Game Comes with Catch

Make sure you read the terms and conditions when you head over to claim your free game, given to those who purchased the now-defunct Assassin's Creed Unity Season Pass.

If you bought the Season Pass, you can get one of five games for free, because Ubisoft cancelled it in order to give the DLC for free. This is a way of apologising due to requiring (so far) four different patches in two months to make the game almost completely playable.

But when you head over here to get your free copy of The Crew, make sure to read the terms and conditions (and do it before 15th March).

You hereby irrevocably and unconditionally RELEASE, WAIVE, AND FOREVER DISCHARGE AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE Ubisoft Entertainment S.A., and each of its past, present and future divisions, parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, predecessors, successors and assigns, together with all of their respective past, present and future employees, officers, shareholders, directors and agents, and those who give recommendations, directions, or instructions or engage in risk evaluation or loss control activities regarding the Campaign (all for the purposes herein referred to as “Released Parties”) FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY TO YOU, your assigns, heirs, and next of kin FOR ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, CHARGES, LAWSUITS, DEBTS, DEFENSES, ACTIONS OR CAUSES OF ACTION, OBLIGATIONS, DAMAGES, LOSS OF SERVICE, COMPENSATION, PAIN AND SUFFERING, ATTORNEYS’ FEES, AND COST AND EXPENSES OF SUIT, KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, SUSPECTED OR UNSUSPECTED, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE PURCHASE, ACQUISITION, RENTAL, POSSESSION AND/OR USAGE, AND/OR THE INTENT TO PURCHASE, ACQUIRE, RENT, POSSESS AND/OR USE, THE ASSASSIN’S CREED UNITY VIDEO GAME AND/OR THE ASSASSIN’S CREED UNITY SEASON PASS ON ANY AND ALL PLATFORMS, AND/OR RELATED TO THE CAMPAIGN, WHETHER CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASED PARTIES OR OTHERWISE.

So if you're planning on any legal action against Ubisoft on account of the many problems since release, then you cannot accept a bribe free game. Sony have just recently come under fire just for misrepresenting the graphical quality of Killzone: Shadow Fall, so there is certainly precedent.

Of course, if you have no plans on seeking legal damages, then go ahead and claim your free game! This is hardly unheard of, but there may be some people wanting to have their free game and still sue Ubisoft.
