It feels tragic. On the one hand, they made some of my most favourite games especially the Splinter Cell series, and it would be sad to see a once great developer to go. But then on the other, the greedy bastards deserve to go under for ruining some of my most favourite games including the Splinter Cell series.

But seriously though, if Ubisoft do go under, I hope that their IP would go into safe hands, like how Baldur's Gate franchise has been handed over from Bioware to the competent team of Larian (and I do hope Larian does not enshittify unlike the fate of other companies, such as Ubisoft and EA).

Larian isn't making another Baldur's Gate.

Ubisoft always reminds me of an old pun my Latin teacher taught us: Semper ubi sub ubi. Always where under where.

FFS just get Olden Era released and then go die in a corner somewhere, Ubisoft.

If only bankruptcy actually meant consequences for those responsible.

Gamers say that Ubisoft execs need to get comfortable with not being solvent.

Part of me is sad because some of my favorite games might get shitcanned as a result, but it’s a loss I’m willing to accept if it kills such a parasitic company.

I'll be sad if For Honor stops being supported

Came here to say this.

Really sad because Ubisoft can make games, good ones even. But with out the freedom or time and now talent best they can do is movie licensed games.

They need to get comfortable with losing their company.

"Company fails to generate infinite revenue even after implementing every abusive tactic known".

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (2 children)

More like, company keeps pushing for short-term profits, runs out of goodwill built up in the past.

Ubisoft had many long standing issues, but disowning The Crew users was the worst possible move they could have made in their already dire situation.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

I played and enjoyed both of them, shutting down the first one instead of giving it offline functionality really pissed me off and was the final straw for me with Ubi. It had a fully offline playable story, NPC vehicles to race etc. and the game would've been preserved forever.

Instead we got the crew 2, always online AAA signature garbage.

This true, because no one is buying their steam games on a USB

Let it die.

Ubisoft executives need to become comfortable with "not being employed."

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

Some will take the blame, take millions as parachute payments, then the low level workers will have their jobs cut.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

Unfortunately, that's not how this works.

This is late stage capitalism, execs are judged on how much money they managed to squeeze out before the company died. They'll be hired immediately specifically to do it again somewhere else.

The company dying in incidental.
