The fallout from Ubisoft's bloodbath of game cancellations and cost-cutting continues, as unionised workers call a strike against the publisher's restructuring.
How much do you want to bet that most of the things wrong with Ubisoft games are results of bosses ordering a sacrifice of quality to achieve maximum monetization rather than anything the workers have a say in?
The problem is that AAA gaming hasn’t really innovated that much in the last decade while development costs go up to fund better visuals. Worse, consumers won’t pay for the higher development costs.
I’m surprised that the gaming industry is as large as it is.
How much do you want to bet that Ubisoft massively overhired personnel when they were making money hand over fist, forgetting to take into account how much money they could actually make from their IP?
These workers were fools to join or stay with Ubisoft

So I’m hearing that bad strategic decisions were made.
And who makes strategic decisions?
I’m not really into betting.
