Insider Gaming - "Ubisoft has cancelled yet another game, this time ending development on the Animal Crossing-inspired title Alterra."
HALIFAX (April 14, 2026) – Laid-off Ubisoft workers in Halifax have voted overwhelmingly in favour of a settlement with the video-game giant. The terms of the settlement, including the compensation employees will receive, is confidential.
I can't sit here and act like I know these workers financial situations. And I'm sure nobody wakes up WANTING to go to court. But for the sake of the industry, I wish some of these types of cases made it to trial.
Settlements allow companies to continue to do whatever abusive practices they do. While the trials (should the company lose) would actually force real changes for the better.
But again, I'm not in these workers shoes and I can understand them not wanting to risk it.
Two-day event includes exclusive reveals, trailers and playable games on show floor.
Completely agreed. Ubisoft came out and surprised us all and killed it.
Simple... they didn't forget who gamers are and what gamers really want.
Well done to them.
Aisha Tyler is how they won.
(maybe not the whole reason but most of it).
Ubisoft was very strong, but man did I cringe during the co-op demo of Farcry 3. With all the terrible dude-bro conversation. There werent enough racial and homophobic slurs for it to seem authentic.
