    I’m not much of a Ubisoft fan, but I just want Rayman and Prince of Persia to be saved. Growing up with both franchises since the 90s, ‘Rayman Legends’ and ‘The Lost Crown’ were incredible and these franchises deserve some respect.

      How much do you want to bet that most of the things wrong with Ubisoft games are results of bosses ordering a sacrifice of quality to achieve maximum monetization rather than anything the workers have a say in?

        Nah.

        The problem is that AAA gaming hasn’t really innovated that much in the last decade while development costs go up to fund better visuals. Worse, consumers won’t pay for the higher development costs.

        I’m surprised that the gaming industry is as large as it is.

              For sure. It’s not like the bosses at other big companies are magically better. They select for the same criteria, so they get the same crap.

              And honestly, AAA industry should go down for 99% of them. The way they treat their workers is not something that should be supported.

        I’m not really into betting.

        How much do you want to bet that Ubisoft massively overhired personnel when they were making money hand over fist, forgetting to take into account how much money they could actually make from their IP?

        These workers were fools to join or stay with Ubisoft
