Uplay changes this; it offers purchasable rewards for players with enough Uplay points."
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.
I personnaly like the idea, but now cheaters and boosters have even more of a reason to do the things they do for trophies and achievements.
So many downsides to this but fact its slowing down hackers must be making ubisoft jump for joy took skidrow 3 weeks for working crack then futher 3 days to get crack fix so certain doors would open.
I like how the points carry over to use in other games.
