Another live service cash cow. This is just a tax write off, we'll see another live service soon enough

As night follows day, the VG machine is another profit making hellscape, so whatever is going to get shareholders and investors of VG publishers the most money; they'll keep doing it.

Live service cash cows are also easy money; you make a barebones live service, fill it with microtransactions/season passes to roll content out, cut the thing off after a year, take all the money.

What a shame. Never even knew about it, until it died. On to the next one.

Ubi look like they're collapsing right now. I think they're begging for a buyout (& still keep Yves Guillemot in the top job)

Definitely overdue. I have fond memories of Ubi stuff from a long, long time ago but they're a shell of that now.

Yeah, 2003 - 2009 was pretty much Ubi's time for bangers.


Think everyone got sick of their open world checkboxing simulators...

Agreed. AC 1 & 2 were great, older Prince of Persia stuff too.
