- Most of the well-known Ubisoft employees have already left for better positions.
- The ones left are ‘deadweight’ and don’t know how to do anything but push social change.
- The company has also left no room for creativity and doesn’t care about bugs in games.
As Ubisoft’s turmoil continues, a new report has emerged, further dissecting the state of the studio. According to it, most of the well-known developers that were at the studio for the longest time, have already left and found much better positions.
Now, the other ones, who are good at their job, but aren’t too familiar in the industry, are struggling to find new positions. This leaves the rest of the developers, that the source labels as ‘Deadweight’ who don’t know how to do anything.
Why it matters: Most of the team that made Ubisoft great with titles like the early Assassin’s Creed games, Far Cry 3, and others have left the studio which has resulted in quite underwhelming releases in the last few years.
This rumor comes from AccolonnTV, who states he received multiple documents from an alleged Ubisoft insider who says he works as a developer at the company. The documents reveal the current state of the company’s employees.
The documents further say that the ‘deadweight’ developers do pretty much everything wrong. However, one thing they excel at is pushing social change. So, when they don’t do their job, they are turned into political activists.
Furthermore, working at Ubisoft is becoming a nightmare, as it doesn’t spare any space for creativity because all of the work is about factory lines and logistics. Also, if there are any bugs in the process, they are marked as ‘Works as designed, Won’t fix’.
This also aligns with what Assassin’s Creed producer recently said; that most developers working on Assassin’s Creed Shadows are on their first ever project. If the reports are true, it doesn’t seem the future is bright for Ubisoft, especially now with them looking for a buyout.
