It's a good thing for all of us to see this game fail

Ubisoft has held our most beloved IP hostage for decades. If and when Ubisoft fails then these IP could get in the hands of developers/publishers that actually want to make good games. We can get an actual AC game, an actual Far Cry game, an actual Ghost Recon game. Crossing my fingers that it happens sooner than later.

gib me nuu splinter cell.

Define an "actual ac game" and "an actual far cry game" to me please.

If we're talking about the clunky movement "press to jump forward and the guy jumps to left/right dying or making you to fail the mission instead" and "9/10 assassinatings failing because the input lag makes you miss the time window", or "you can't win a single head-on fight on the whole game even though the cinematics show you taking down half a army singlehandedly" AC 1,2,3 (plus the two Ezio adventures), or are we talking about the Far Cry 1 & 2 where you end up spending 99% of the time just trying to find the damned location you're supposed to go because there is no minimap or an compass to help. If so, then please for the love of god: Never again.

I'd really rather not see it fail. Gaming is already in a downward spiral and new releases are far and few. Without Ubisoft there'd be even less games. I'd much rather Ubisoft stay around and continue to release their mediocre titles so I at least have something to play between big releases. At the very least their games are good sand boxes.

dude didn't even mentioned 2 IP that actually matters: prince of persia and splinter cell

Don't worry, Asia will replace that market hole. You have a Chinese game coming that's based on America of Old with a Japanese bubble mix that looks pretty wild.

The IP's wont be going anywhere. Basically Ubisoft will just have to clear house and restructure the company. Unless they sell off to Tencent or someone else buys them out. Depending on who gets to stay in the company depends on the quality of what they continue to create. I guess time will tell.

They will prolly sell some IPs to EA or MS https://www.gamespot.com/articles/ubisoft-is-horribly-managed-investor-says-report-claims-ea-and-microsoft-might-buy-franchises/1100-6530071/

This short term thinking will just continue the downfall over a longer period. You will be fed slop for years before the industry fails and reboots, or you could bite the bullet, have the ♥♥♥♥ companies fail now and either we will have a complete collapse and rebuild of the industry, or the developers and companies that still have money due to making successful games will buy up the IPs and we get a revitalized industry. Either way letting bad companies fail is a better long term prospect.

This is why Ubi Is failing and we can't get anything good.

It's not short term thinking as much as it I just know it will never get any better. Gaming is not what it once was and it sadly never will be again. We're no longer in the 90's and 2000's where the gaming industry was still trying establish itself and developers had to provide real quality content to get people's attention and draw them in. Now that gaming is so widely loved, developers don't have to go that extra mile or provide the same quality they once did because they know they have us wrapped around their fingers. I've given up on enough people caring about the current state of gaming for anything to change. The majority is happy with the way things are now because they don't know what it was like before when gaming was something special.
