Guess I'll just keep boycotting this piece of shit company.
So, these 71 people with relevant skill sets who onow eachother are available for working possibly together now?
Forreal.
Every time this happens, a couple years later: "oh wow look at this new indie studio, they are seriusly punching above their weight"
Looks inside.
Industry veterans.
People you fire, are free to compete. And it's been biting a growing chunk of the market for a while now.
People you fire, are free to compete.
That's why non-compete clauses are popular.
No. The idea is to stop people from acccepting a better deal to go work for a competitor. Non-competes applying when being fired or when your company gets shuttered, would leave the employees literally unable to work in their field no matter how their employment ended.
Even if that were how these contracts worked, good luck to ubisoft enforcing a non-compete for employees that worked for a legal entity that no longer exists.
Non-competes often have a time period after employment, like one year or such.
Always depends on the lawyers they can afford
"Do players hate us?"
"Many gamers despise the company, but some are still nostalgic of the first titles of Assassin's Creed"
"That's not enough, we must be hated more!"
The thing is, I'm a sucker for history and Assassins Creed just gives me something. I know I shouldn't, but I'm fairly sure I'm gonna get the latest one next time its price hits an all-time low. What I can't forgive them is that Rayman Legends didn't get a successor. All things considered though, there is not a single series other than AC that would make me give any money to Ubisoft anymore. They probably should just die already.
Echo’ing the other reply, but the Assassin’s Creed franchise (at least up to, but not including Origins) scratches my alt-history itch like nothing else has been able to.
Likewise, both Far Cry 3 and Far Cry 5 (inc. expansions) were absolutely fantastic IMO - and are some of the rare few FPS games I would willingly revisit.
Don’t take the above to mean my opinion of Ubisoft as a publisher is particularly glowing - let’s be honest, most publishers are absolute dogshit, due to perverse Capitalist incentives - and Stephanie Sterling’s segments about them on the Jimquisition should have been the final nail in their coffins.
I’ve found that as I’ve gotten older and more curmudgeonly, I’ve also become more nostalgic for the “good ol’ days” of gaming in the up-to-and-including the PS3/X360/Wii era - so my money has stayed largely away from AAA-publisher bank accounts.
Dont buy ubisoft games. They hate their users as much as they hate their employees
