Ubisoft

2026:

  • fires team lead after return-to-office critique
  • closes Halifax studio 1 month after Union formed

2025:

  • full-in on gen-AI after shares plummeting
  • NOYB sues because of covert user tracking
  • Ubisoft wants to monitor your RAM (๐Ÿดโ€โ˜ ๏ธ)
  • EULA demands deleting delisted games

2024:

  • deletes inactive customer accounts with purchased games
  • "Gamers need to get comfortable not owning games"
  • adds Denuvo after reviews were made

2023:

  • ads in games
  • started that list here

To be fair, they also want to be bought up (rebranding), after multiple buy-outs and mass-layoffs.

I feel like this file would be valuable for every company we might purchase from, and also nearly impossible to maintain.

If only instead of each one micromanaging our purchases there could be a system set up to thwart the bad corporate behavior in a broad and systemic way, with the dedicated pros doing oversight professionally.

That's ridiculous. It would take some sort of centralized entity designed to represent the will of the populace. I wouldn't even know where to start to create such a thing.
