UBISOFT destroyed Assassins creed, I loved the game, initially but after they went to the yearly releases I stopped playing them. I think AC3 was my last one. Ubisoft is no better than EA when it comes to quality of their games and longevity. These companies used to be the best now I look forward to midsized companies for quality and game longevity.

Isn't Vivendi owned by Universal Studios?

I have to agree with GRU. Ubisoft destroyed Ghost Recon, they ground Rainbow Six into meat. Only the last Splinter Cell was somewhat redeemed and then at the cost of Michael Ironside.

Also hardcoregamer makes a sophomoric assumption that increasing revenue means that the game production will go into overdrive. They believe that Vivendi will expend a huge amount of resources to acquire Ubisoft and then start down a path guaranteed to destroy said acquisition. They ignore the fact that something concerning quality of the catalog of titles may be effected instead. Ghost Recon and Rainbow Six have both been wasted franchises that properly handled with quality could become extremely successful.

Ubisoft has other IPs that have languished as well. IPs fans would want to see brought back to the market.

I wouldn't even be excited if they announced a new Beyond Good and Evil or Prince of Persia because you can bet they'd just be new versions of Ubisoft: the Game.

Did you read the article ?

The author is implying that the takeover will do the exact opposite, making things worse than they are now. Just recently Ubisoft announced that AC would be shelved for a while as it is revamped.

The author is basically saying that Vivendi, with their goals for much higher revenue, could destroy all that.

"That means taking Assassin’s Creed (along with other popular titles) off the back burner and turning them out on a creative conveyor belt, year after year, for the sake of milking that cow for a bigger profit"

*Gold*

It specifically refers to them shelving the AC series to revamp it completely. How is that not a good thing ? The article then goes on to say that Vivendi takeover would probably make things worse.

Give credit where it's due. Don't continuously make Ubisoft out to be the devil in every discussion.

The problem here is that a larger, more profit driven company will be taking it's place. You think they are milking things now? You ain't seen nothing yet if this happens.

It's broken and unfortunately poorly supported. Some of us, longtime members, are still here and enduring this painful experience

Info is here. Got posted earlier today.
