I read it as "people weren't willing to spend 100h on it, and wouldn't have bought time savers MTs for this game"

Remember how it was going to release in January 2021 And then they delayed it like a month before release And then they restarted it entirely in May 2022 What the fuck happened here

Beyond Good and Evil 2 must be the most incredible, fun, polished game in existence then.

yeah I don't assume there's some hidden gem that Ubisoft buried so much as like... how do you get to the point where you're canceling games that people think are coming out this quarter lol

Insane how they had to have a complete do-over of the PoP remake like 5 years ago weeks before it was supposed to release too.

as if they wouldn't have cancelled that game if they weren't on the hook for tax credits, or so the legends say.

More like their ability to judge the quality of a game might not be ship-shape.

Not at all. We have seen enough to know that they could have been great games with an unclear grade of economic success. Pretty sure that games like Valiant Hearts, Immortal Phoenix, Child of Light or Mario Rabbits would have been cancelled nowadays

What other word should they use? Many game projects are cancelled for "quality reasons" or not meeting some theoretical bar of "quality." That can be almost anything. It's just a generic statement and I don't believe it should be a specific reference against anything else.

Get they ass

The AI tools kept making The Prince a person of color and they just got stun locked.

Not to mention the fact that they were required to release it because of some business deal with Singapore's government.

AC Unity, too

I still cant believe “AAAA Game” made it out of the meeting room as a selling point

Or maybe it was too good and they didn't want to set a precedent. Haha ugh

Resist that impulse. I wish I had. 😑

this is complicated because they literally had to ship skull and bones. they couldn't not launch that game without enormous tax and business implications in singapore.

Tbh, didn't they basically have the legal obligation to release S&B due to some sort agreement with thr Singapore government?

yikes - can’t even imagine - Skull and Bones made me quit within 10 minutes which i guess is a feat of its own

AAAAA is now the bar
