Cash shop in a single player game.
Contains Denuvo and requires a Ubisoft account to use their shitty launcher.
Has adverts in-game.
Launched with $85 of DLC.
Immediately started laying off workers after launch.
Fuck Ubisoft, and if you bought this game, fuck you too.
Honestly the "laying people off after launch" speaks volumes of the teams that do the same; can you not work multiple projects and shift people to the other one until it's complete?
The layoffs seem more like "line must go up'" than any kind of "we can no longer afford you now the job is done".
I'm probably preaching to the choir.
Yeah, totally.
I really dislike the dishonesty. If you're always going to lay-off/downsize/insert-capitalist-euphemism-here after each project is done then stop hiring people as staff and hire them as contractors instead. Make it clear from the start it's not a permanent position.
But that's more expensive, as people demand 50-100% more salary as a contractor; Line must go up faster
Yup, exactly 👍
