Ubisoft are really doing their best to make themselves as unlikeable as possible currently with even more layoffs and project cancellations this time round, including the hotly anticipated remake of Prince of Persia: Sands of Time to much people’s dismay. They also announced a complete corporate restructure to try and focus project teams on games they would be more specialised in, not that it will help them much. Interesting to note is that all of these cost saving measures are taking place just a couple months before the end of the financial year when they need to report their earnings to investors… curious…
It just goes to show that not only are developers hurt by decisions like this, but potential games too. We won’t know of the many unknown projects that got cancelled because of this, and I only hope that the devs can still find enjoyment in their work even with the axe hanging over them. That’s all for now, and as always. It’s not just a game, It’s a Life.
