360Sync: God games were designed with the thought in mind that most people, to some extent, have some sort of God complex. The idea of controlling the destiny of other beings, even if only in a simulation, is a great temptation. Some players are noble rulers and feel remorse if even one of their subjects perish. Others are more apt to rain destruction and doom on their civilization at every opportunity. The whole point of God games is to give the player the keys and let them decide how everything will play out.
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.
