Tom Clancy's The Division Companion App Cancelled

We haven't heard much about the tablet-focused companion application that was being developed alongside Tom Clancy's The Division since Ubisoft originally announced the co-op shooter/RPG, but word now comes from IGN that Massive Entertainment has decided to cancel it altogether as it was causing "imbalance":

A representative for Massive Entertainment, which is developing The Division, told IGN that the team cut the companion app because it "created an imbalance" that compromised the gameplay. The app was originally announced when the open-world, online RPG was unveiled in 2013.

The Division companion app was supposed to allow a person with a tablet the ability to assist other players or become a troll. For example, the mobile app would allow for you to control a drone and offer armor buffs to console players.
