With Doom coming out soon I figured it would be a good time to explain my experiences with the multiplayer beta. While I only had it for one weekend to get a grasp of the game, it had a more faults…
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.
Ashes of Creation director Steven Sharif has hit out at alleged "coordinated attacks" against him and his studio, Intrepid Studios, insisting recent claims about the company's finances were "completely false and already faltering under judicial review," and calling the drama "one of the craziest stories gaming has ever seen."
The project will purportedly launch in November 2026 and is the result of Disney's $1.5 billion collaboration with Epic.
Myself and a handful of friends are really looking forward to this game and only for the multiplayer, this is a day one release for us. I personally loved the beta ... I actually couldn't get enough of it. Clearly I'm in the minority though, I hope this game is a success.
Carmack was right the entire time and was very smart to move out. Bethesda really are dicks in the industry just like many others as well. Dance emotes in DOOM? Ok 12 year old M rated game. Sure the campaign might be great but after seeing some of the dumb ideas they implemented in the multiplayer, it went from buy to rent for me.
I'm just there for the campaign. That's all I want.
