I have to wonder what the end goal here is for Ubisoft. you got people leaving in droves, people leaving and forming their own studios and producing games that are quite literally games of the year, and they're axing people left right and center.

And lets not kid ourselves this company is essentially the cockroach of gaming, how it's still alive in 2026 is in it's own right quite the achievement. I can't even recall the last good Ubisoft game I played.

Management have over inflated egos. They think, oh, fuck John, John’s division only did $25m. They only see bottom lines. But they fail to realize they killed off John’s ideas that would have brought in $500m. So John leaves, gets to develop his own ideas, then shocked peakachu face.

I believe they want to divert all their resources into one huge Fortnite like success story. Something that can bring them a reliable recurring revenue stream.

So what happens if everyone shares the video? Are they gonna just fire everyone? I'm sure that'll do great for your stock price eh executives?

What a shitty company, glad I've been boycotting the hell out of them!

I think people at Ubisoft should just quit and start their own competing game studio.

If this type of leading results to profits then almost any does.

Is this sort of thing not protected by labour laws?

I'm pretty sure France is one of those places where it is indeed.

Not anywhere in America.

Definitely not a message being sent to the remaining employees...
