When Ubisoft announced that Watch Dogs was not going to make the release date of both console systems, we can hardly say that we were surprised. While there are a number of theories as to exactly why Ubisoft moved the release date till Spring of this year, but beyond saying that the title needed more development time, no specifics where ever confirmed.
If you are looking for a bargain, check out the huge discounts across the entire WatchDogs series on Steam.
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.

Ubi needs to get on the ball with this game.
Watch Dogs vs inFamous: Second Son.
I live near ubisoft in Malmo in sweden and ive Heard from diffrent people there that Watch dogs is their nr 1 now. They want it done fast. But Lars bonde creater of the cinematic scenes told me that Watch dogs got several bugs so they fixing that. March is false date. They wont release it when other good games is released same month. Late june is the date.
I hope so, it needs to release before everyone forgets about it. If it had released as a launch title for the PS4 and Xbox One then it could have done really well, but now it looks like it'll get drowned out by other big releases..
Also, getting this for the Wii U because the closest game I have to this on it right now is ACIV.
