Dead Island publisher Deep Silver has claimed that it is "much better than the Activision's, EAs, and Ubisofts of the world" because it actually "make(s) money", and attributes Dead Island's success to "some genius marketing... that larger companies wouldn't try".
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'.
Man the industry just keeps on going with all this bs and to think this is ubisoft again remember what happened with that skull bones team same crap.

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.
Well its not that hard to be better than Activision and EA but Ubisoft I dunno. Ubisoft is the lesser of three evils.
Deep Silver Dead Island was decent game that sold well but don't let it go to your head. Riptide is right around the corner, hopefully it won't fall in the same pit-holes that Dead Island did.
Not to mention Saints Row 4 and Metro Last Light. Which I hope turns out well.
Let's not dupe gamers with a heart wrenching trailer that has no thematic relation to the real game. No one will be offended if we send out a half naked, half eaten figurine of a woman to game journalists. No, we are better than other game companies.
That's why they release beta code with source to Steam as a full game?
Deep Silver are not prolific at anything. Say what you like about EA, Ubisoft and Activision, but they all produce far better quality and more interesting games.
I regrettably purchased Dead Island. Sometimes it pays not to get hyped over a game, and read the reviews instead of pre-ordering. Dead Island is a sham of a game. I expected more from the trailer, but instead we get a farcical romp in a Zombie invested generic (Far Cry, Crysis etc) location with so-so graphics.
Deep Silver are lucky they got away with it. Deceptively naming the re-release as 'GOTY' edition. I understand they're a fairly new company. So, when Deep Silver make something universally amazing, then maybe I can take this statement seriously.
*Summary
Deep Silver mislead with that Trailer.
Deep Silver mislead with GOTY lies to get unsuspecting buyers to increase sales.
I DON'T TRUST THIS DIRTY TRICKS PUBLISHER!
Well you are for saying that. Go come up with a good idea and have a crap dev make it. Why compare yourself to someone who probably publish more games in a year then you have made since you started.
