"There’s an old adage that goes something like this: you’re only as good as your last accomplishment. In this case, we’ll use video games. The saying is simple, but true: most of us have short term memory, and we are far too often to criticize failure than celebrate success. So when Ubisoft released Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag in October 2013 and people raved about it (myself included), it did not give them a free pass for the lackluster Assassin’s Creed: Unity release. The impressive E3 2013 and E3 2014 conferences announced upcoming titles and projects that appeared to be truly revolutionary. Unfortunately, they were anything but. As such, Ubisoft ends what could have been a breakout year of gaming with bad news and broken releases."
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.
Ubisoft fell apart years ago, did you not play AC Revelations or Far Cry 3's co-op? only thing different in 2014 was the "graphic downgrades" which were because of them showing off the PC version instead of the Console version.
I still find it funny everyone was crying about the Watch_Dog "downgrade", yet the Dark Souls 2 had an even bigger and legit graphical downgrade at the same time but was almost unheard of like they were givin' a free pass.. They showed off Dark Souls 2 it was said to be running on the the PS3 so WTF happen there? parity for 360 sake? Looked like a damned PS Vita game after the downgrade.
The thing that concerns me most is they are already planning another AC and Far Cry all ready! AC scheduled for next year and Far Cry is a ? at the moment, they need to put some of their games on hiatus!
They released unfinished and broken games to the public expecting it to be fine as well as false advertising certain games to make them look better than they actually are.
I have a more truer title "How Ubisoft Fell Apart In 2014 -But Gamers still purchased their games and still will"..
As much as people complain about Ubisoft, many will still continue to buy their games. The majority doesn't even read on sites like this, and purchases what catches their fancy as an impulse purchase.
At least some people on this site knows not to support it, and i don't intend to either for the future.
