- A former employee has raised questions regarding Ubisoft’s mismanagement in a recent interview.
- He states that the studio has become hated by a large part of the public and internal development teams.
- Despite the current situation, the ex-employee believes it’s not impossible for Ubisoft to make a comeback.
Ubisoft’s fall from grace has been quite well documented by now. Once a premier open-world developer, the team is now plagued with a live-service focus, layoffs, game cancellations, and mismanagement.
Amid the chaos, hopes for the French gaming giant making a true comeback are almost non-existent. Even a former Ubisoft developer has admitted that hate for the studio is running rampant.
Why it matters: Ubisoft is still fondly remembered as one of the pioneers of open-world games, so it is surprising to see the gaming giant fall as low as it has.
As reported by GameFile, an anonymous ex-Ubisoft developer recently commented on the studio and its current state.
According to the developer, Ubisoft’s biggest failure is not being able to identify its pattern of mismanagement, leading to the spiral that has slowly degraded the team. He says that nobody at the top questions themselves, leaving the developers to take the brunt of the damage.
Moreover, the ex-employee stated that it’s no secret that Ubisoft has become hated as a game studio today. According to the developer, this sentiment also exists within the team itself since many Ubisoft employees hate the studio.
Ubisoft is now hated by a big part of the public for a decade of disappointing releases, hated by many of its own developers.
Toward the end of the interview, the former developer noted that in spite of everything that has happened within the French company recently, there is hope for a comeback. He believes that the team could still make a major hit in the future.
It’s tough to imagine Ubisoft making a big hit again. Tough but quite far from impossible.
