News of Assassin's Creed III getting a remaster was met with lukewarm reception from the get go, primarily because the original game does not rank high in the preference of games in the series for most people. The remaster itself also seemed to be more a color palette sweep-over than many suspected, with a faux-HDR effect at times that has had mixed reviews in the few short days since it has been made available. Many on Steam have also took to the review section to complain about bugs and launch issues, as well as the $39.99 pricing (although it is included for free with the season pass for Assassins Creed Odyssey at the same price point).
 
Ubisoft has since de-listed the original game from Uplay, and had the same done on Steam too as the original store page says.
 
I assume Ubisoft wants to eliminate confusion.

    I guess it makes sense to delist it since it’s the version to get. Of course the price will go down with time to what you could pick up the old version for. I do hope that people who already owned it get a free upgrade though to the remasterd version or at least get an option to download the original.

    Use an Associates Code & SAVE 5% - 10% on your purchase. Just click on the associates banner to save, or enter the associates code at checkout on your next purchase. If you choose to use my code I want to personally say "Thank You" for using it.

    NOPE.  I checked.  All previous owners do NOT get a free upgrade.  That is what pissed so many people off. 
     Charging full price to the people who already supported the company by buying it the 1st go-around...
     
    They need to make a good PR decision & announce a change of heart to their loyal fans and offer it free to current owners of the original.
     
    But also, it is still mind boggling to believe they even did this remaster for what was possibly the worst main character ever received in reviews in an Creed game.... the voice acting & dialog / story for your guy was mostly junk.
