Ubisoft Montreal boss Yannis Mallat does not think gamers are turned off by the idea of a new Assassin's Creed game every year.
IGN writes: "On September 11, most of the over 4,000 employees at Ubisoft Montreal returned to office in Montreal’s Mile End for the first time in three years. But hardly anyone seems happy about it, and many are furious at what they’re calling broken promises from Ubisoft leadership."
All this over working 2 days a week in the Office? Doesn’t surprise me coming from western developers.
“Montreal employees are expected to work a minimum of two days a week out of the office. "
Hmmm..I thought it was like this across Canada. My friends who work from home signed contracts saying that they would have to work two days in the office and rest from home. Guess not everyone is the same.
Meanwhile why the rest of everybody else has to go to work the old fashion way and deal with it. Certain office workers, I guess are so privileged, that somehow I’m supposed to feel bad for them.
I get that certain concerns should be addressed but most people are back to their work environments and a majority have never left. When I hear about these workers, who possibly make much more than me, complaining about an office. Probably they should check out the environment that a majority of people have to work in. Hint, it’s not some beautiful, convenient space, that’s for sure. Why I’m sure their offices aren’t a bastion of delights. There are much worse working environments.
Take a page from Insomniac’s book and see how much more productive their staff has been, being able to work from home these past three years. Also, speaking from personal experience, working from home has definitely been a boon for me as it has allowed me to save time and money from having to commute 3 hours total daily. Amongst other personal mental benefits, I’m giving my employer more work hours per day and it doesn’t bother me in the least.
Working from home isn’t possible for everyone of course. But if you have a job that can 100% be done remotely, I don’t see why that should be an issue with employers in this day and age.
why is it anyone's business how Ubisoft carries out its business with its employees?
This does not concern games and it's a big nothingburger.

Dont forget Gamers also want always online DRM, oh and day 1 DLC, f@ck you EA I mean Ubisoft
I don't want one every year.
When I play a game, I like to be amazed. Likes it's fresh and new.
AC games never feel that way to me.
1st was the best.
We would buy a new fresh ip from your studio with the same quality as assassins creed, but we can't promise that it will sell as much as AC, so...nevermind.
Not me I want whatch dogs and far cry
Keep milking the franchise, Ubisoft.
I read somewhere that drinking too much milk can turn you white.
If that's true, the people who keep buying these games will eventually look like KKK members on a Daz commercial.
