Ubisoft, one of the not-so-famous but still quite productive game companies, has announced that they're going to stop including printed manuals in all their games for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Instead, they'll be including the manuals in the game. They claim that placing the manuals in the game will allow more intuitive access and more content.
What do you think of this move? Is it a good idea or would you prefer having a traditional paper manual? Have in-game manuals ever been done well enough that they make a good replacement for the paper kind?
Will other companies follow Ubisoft's lead and ditch paper manuals? Nintendo games weren't mentioned in the announcement, so Nintendo is likely forcing Ubisoft to continue to include paper manuals in Wii and DS games.
