Ubisoft’s shares have taken a significant plunge following the delay of its eagerly anticipated title Watch_Dogs, with the company’s stock trading down 22 percent to $2.27 as of today.
Watch Dogs was expected to be a huge hit with the masses, particularly in relation to the next-generation consoles. Fans of open-world games were sure to pick it up next month along with the brand new hardware. That was until yesterday, when Ubisoft made the announcement to push it back to Spring of 2014 due to the game’s unfinished state.
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.
Wow, I guess a lot of people were banking on Ubisoft selling a lot of games this holiday season.
Nows the time to buy.
Ouch. Went from $2.91 a share yesterday down to $2.27 today. I know its the right thing to do to make the game as excellent as can be and, out of respect for Ubisoft, I kept my Watch_Dogs PS4 preorder because I'm still going to want to play it. It's just now it'll be fighting with inFamous Second Son and Destiny as to which of these 3 games will get most of my playing time now.
And also my wallet will be hurting again in the Spring :(
Buying shares now. :)
