OnlySP: The past couple of years have been good for Ubisoft. Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag was received to both critical and commercial acclaim at the end of last year, and at the same time the hype for Watch Dogs was approaching the stratosphere, as well as for South Park: The Stick Of Truth. PC gamers were back on board after their ridiculous always-on DRM was canned. And last but not least: not one but two new Assassin’s Creed games were planned for 2014 – the series which was Ubisoft’s cash cow by a mile. A year later the wheels seem to be falling off somewhat… so what happened?
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 is doing just fine, our standards are just becoming higher and higher. Games have bugs, they've ALWAYS had bugs. As long as they fix them in a reasonable about of time just relax, the game isn't going anywhere. Saying Ubisoft is on the decline while they've never been stronger just seems silly and i'm not even a fan of WatchDogs or the assassins creed series.
Ubisoft is dead and buried right next to PC Gaming.
Wow Ubisoft Doom and Gloom article, that didn't take long lol.
I've been waiting for this backlash since the unnecessary censorship of my EU copy of South Park: The stick of truth (yes it was unnecessary, many other games manage different versions for Germany specifically).
Ubisoft's decline was only a short matter of time, right after they started with the annual releases of their games. They're right next to most other companies declining, so this is near industry wide.
The got soft... ;) I hope they start turning things around, I am worried for The Division and R6 Siege, though Far Cry 4 is ok since I know what to expect already..
