But then you took it away. You moved it onto other, lesser platforms. You ruined our lives. You destroyed Nintendo. You made our Wii U worthless. And the Rayman franchise? You might as well throw it on the Mega Man pile of failure."
What a load of crap."
Hanzala from eXputer: "With Ubisoft's practices becoming increasingly anti-consumer lately, the destruction of The Sands of Time Remake looks almost inevitable."
Hey Ubi, here's a gun, don't shoot yourself in the foot.
*Ubi takes gun, aims at foot, empties clip*
Top executives including games boss Sean Shoptaw have also been promoted…
Behind XDefiant's toxic work culture, crunch, delays, and a group of directors and managers internally referred to as 'The Boys Club'.

This game will be tossed out broken unplolished with a bloated budget trying to be cod but will fail sense ubi can get there shit in order. If i was me i would have gotten rid of this boys club asap there is alot looking for work out there.
Every industry has these issues
Some companies I’ve worked for were great and some were toxic as hell (UPS when I was a teenager was extremely toxic and I have heard it still is) It all starts at the top. They either hold people accountable , set standards and treat people with respect or the crap rolls downhill.
nintendo fanboys that would complain about rayman being postponed for seven months in order to port it to the ps3 and xbox are idiots. these companies need money to stay open so they need to sell enough copies of the game to stay relevant. a lot of games on the wii u have failed which sends up a red flag to devs who want to make games for the console but its actually insane to make exclusive third party for the wii u. history shows that more than 90 percent of third party games are doomed to fail on nintendo consoles so it boggles my mind that any dev would make a third party exclusive title for wii u.
let nintendo make exclusive titles for the wii u and the nintendo fans will be fine. they are content with waiting for months or a year for one game from nintendo. the wii u is rubbish and a waste
Yeah, this article is going to rustle a few jimmies tonight. Good grief.
I can see why they may have been cautious with releasing it as an exclusive, new console and all. Not to mention the constant slew of hit-fishing journalism pieces on it in the media, despite it's fair sales. Releasing it on multiple platforms for better sales would be a good idea, can pay off even. However........ the month that was chozen for it's release wasn't smart at all, in my opinion, especially if they've actually wanted it to sell and with less effort.
The game was to be released as an exclusive a little over a week from now, if I'm not mistaken, with not much heavy competition in it's way. Now........ they would rather have it release after E3, when everyone are surely going to be hyped for other games and consoles and along with the release of GTAV and god knows what else in the same month of this game. Ubi are going to need a hell of an advertising campaign for this game. Which is another reason why that date was a bad idea, for they could also have saved more money in that department.
I'm not at all pissed at it going multiplatform or even it's delay. I didn't have my sights set on this game as much as I have for Monster Hunter tri U and The Last of Us. However, the frustration on the delay is understandable, especially since we were so close to the original release date.
Ah well, just my take on all of this. Best of luck Ubi.
If you have played the demo..Rayman was MADE for the gamepad.No other version will come close...Also the graphics will have to be downgraded...thats what Ubisoft said months ago. disagree all you want FACT.
So this is one video game publisher corporate suck-up article. EDIT: And it starts off with something similar to a straw man argument. Not a good read. D:
It's like the author saw how much the "Ubisoft are jerks" article got in the way of hits on N4G and thought up a way to try to get even more hits and/or controversy. (i.e. a typical games journalism tactic)
