When a company (or really anybody) does a Massive Bait-and-Switch where they show you something that Looks amazing with great graphics and features, and then you buy it, thinking it would be like that, and the product was Downgraded, streamlined, and is Nothing like they promised upon release. Fallout 76 is a great example, as well as Watchdogs and Many Ubisoft titles with graphics-downgrade scandals. Thus, the Ubisoft-Swap is when a product that was shown to you is significantly changed, most often Reduced in quality the day they sell it to you.
