Is Ubisoft Going Off The Rails?‏

Looking at the numbers, it seems almost absurd to question the on-going success of Ubisoft, but take a look at the critical response to some of their most recent releases, and suddenly, things don’t looks quite so rosy for the French gaming behemoth.

Well, if they make sure that they release working games at launch and stop making lazy unoptimized PC ports
and Drop the parity BS between consoles and push each console to it limits

they will be alright
That not hard to ask ...is it?!

Other than that I love FarCry4,Assassin's Creed:Rogue...hate Unity though

I agreed with you on everything but pushing consoles to their limit. I think recent events and along with other publishers limiting their games to 30fps, shows that consoles are already showing their limits. Only studios who can push graphical limit now are first party because of their insider API knowledge but even they are limited by the hardware.

For me it's more about them being transparent - 30 FPS is not 'more cinematic' in any way other than movies do use 24fps to film, but that just isn't conducive to the best possible gaming experience. I'd gladly give up a few p's for some for FPS'.

It seems like every time they make a game, there's some bad decision in it. I know they want to milk games for what they're worth, but pumping microtransactions in to The Crew and AC Unity is absurd. Make a game worth playing for a few months, with GREAT DLC that makes us want to keep going, and you'll have our money.

Yep, they've made a few poor choices.

Bring me Beyond Good and Evil 2, and I won't care what Ubisoft does.

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.
