Ubisoft is not a serious game publisher, rather is a racketeering company that uses gaming software as a vehicle for its monetization schemes.

It's also a sex harassment and assault den for its upper management to prey on its clerical staff, and its HR notoriously covers for them.

I no longer play the Ubisoft games for which I have licenses, and I say this as an old fan of the Far Cry series. No longer.

Ubisoft needs to fail enough to get liquidated and bought out, I expect, by another AAA publisher gone amuck or a private equity management company. In either case, may Ubisoft assets load them down like a neutron star.
