It has been announced that Ubisoft's Executive Committee and Board of Directors will launch an investigation and review of the company.

Is Ubisoft board going to investigate themselves since they're the ones telling Ubisoft how to do less for more and push MTX over taking longer to make better games w/o them?

[DarXyde]

Breaking news:

Board investigation concludes wasteful spending on employee compensation packages responsible for financial woes. Live service a net positive for company.

It's amazing how out of touch with gamers they've been for over a decade, and its only gotten worse.

The biggest innovation that I saw in that time was their "indie" arm w titles like Child of Light, and in VR with Eagle Flight and Transference. Loved all 3 of these titles. I want to see more of that side of Ubisoft, the one who takes risks.

[BeHunted]

Microsoft should open up their wallet and acquire Ubisoft

[isarai]

Honestly kinda glad all these AAA publishers are finally imploding, they've tainted this industry and took advantage of us too long. Die and don't come back

[TheCaptainKuchiki]

Ubisoft carries the entire french video games industry though. You don't want them to disappear or so many jobs are gonna be lost

[isarai]

Both can be true, sure i absolutely do not want the honest people just doing their jobs and living their passion to lose that, but im also so tired of the schemes, toxicity, ripoffs, blatant dishonesty, and literal scamming they've done for years while laughing in our face about it! They've gladly even targeted kids in search of their precious "whales". They have no shame, morals, or even basic humanity, their lower employees cant keep being their shield for consequences

[RiseNShine]

That's not reason enough for not letting them fall, at this point they promote non-owned, sometimes dissapearing, buggy, crappy over-expensive AAAA games with generic open world checklist games filled with political agenda. Let them burn i say, they are a perfect example of everything wrong in the industry and they should fall at this point.

[vTuro24]

Not our fault they went to shit. If they don't want those people to be out of jobs, then stop producing slop and make games that people actually want to play.

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

Just let them burn, at this point, I don't care if a few developers like Ubisoft don't survive, it's healthier for the industry, although, with everything that's happening, I feel like we might be due for a crash.

[XiNatsuDragnel]

We need more implosions the AAA collapse is coming

[TheCaptainKuchiki]

It's too late. That should have been done a good 3 years ago.

[Hofstaderman]

They investigating themselves? Pffft...

[Rebel_Scum]

Yeah ok that sounds good but they need to really give this investigation to someone who can really be critical of all operations and processes without receiving any influence or pressure from the top.

Include investigating the board, committee, heck even the shareholder influence.

[XBManiac]

They could ask Phil Spencer about how he manages Xbox.

[IAMRealHooman]

they make overly bloated games that lack meaningful content, follow a cookie cutter formula with little innovation, outdated design philosophy.

I've never played a 100 plus hour game that had so little meat to it aside from ubi titles

[RiseNShine]

I still remember the early Ubisoft with Rayman games, Beyond good and Evil, Splinter Cell games, Rainbow Six games, Ghost Recon AWF, Valiant Heart, Child of Light, Rayman Origins and Legends, Prince of Persia trilogy, etc it was such an amazing company, such incredible games and creativity, how could they destroy it so badly?

[Flewid638]

I have Ubisoft Plus and its interesting going through their catalog of greats, then seeing where the decline starts. As much as people love the 3 recent AC RPGs, I would say it starts there for me. Graphically at least.

[RhinoGamer88]

French version of "Succession"?! Layoffs are incoming for all staff under the V or C level rank. Yves will get a bonus of course.

[Demetrius]

Lmao investigating themselves 🤦🏾🤣 they're the ones forcing their crew to make games that's only "good" "playable" I just seen an article with someone that said games that are just solide aren't good enough. Damn right it ain enough we got gems coming like crimson desert, new ghost of yotei, kingdom come deliverance 2 etc and they still developing at early ps4 gen level get with the times damn ubi! Last time they tried something unique with the series is when they came back swinging with origins, then they fell right back to their big headed ass ways

[TheColbertinator]

They can pay me to tell them what is the problem instead.

[CobraKai]

Meanwhile the fans are telling em everything that’s wrong
