“In the light of recent challenges, we acknowledge the need for greater efficiency while delighting players

They love claiming they aren't efficient don't they? Shifts the blame to the workers and makes it sound like great ideas when they do layoffs. They never fucking listen to the customers.

They keep trying games that will appease everyone, so instead they're boring and have no great story. They have gorgeous worlds that they fill with endless fetch quests and flat plotlines. Their entire business is telling gamers what they want instead of giving gamers what they want. They deserve to fail with how arrogant they are in this space.

And I haven't even gotten to the fact that I don't want to buy any games from them because they're probably just going to delist them anyway!

Idk where, but some commenter once said "Ubisoft saw the success of FarCry3 and, since then, every game they released has been made into a FarCry3 clone"

That's a real good way to put it

Weird, isn't it? Their efficiency fetish i mean, art should never be efficient.

art should never be ~~efficient~~ defined in absolutes or otherwise arbitrarily constrained
