Rock Paper Shotgun has an interview with Ubisoft today, which will be up in a few hours, and in the interview Ubisoft is saying how they are finally listening to PC gamers in regards to DRM. Will Ubisoft actually live up to their word on this one?
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.
Holy shit, they actually listened.
Maybe now I can buy a Ubisoft game without feeling guilty.

Great news - and about bloody time.
But...What is the catch?
That's actually an excellent interview. They were real journalists on this one, asking the right questions and not acting as a PR mouthpiece, unlike the VAST majority of games interviews.
Great job, RPS.
