Ubisoft has been one of the prominent game publishers in the market for years. With franchises such as Ghost Recon, Rainbow Six, and the new but popular Assassins Creed, they have made a name for themselves as one of the biggest names in the publishing industry. They have always been able to showcase their games well, with great quality and a good sense of marketing, but one area of the industry they haven’t been able to penetrate is the PC.
Hanzala from eXputer: "With Ubisoft's practices becoming increasingly anti-consumer lately, the destruction of The Sands of Time Remake looks almost inevitable."
Hey Ubi, here's a gun, don't shoot yourself in the foot.
*Ubi takes gun, aims at foot, empties clip*
Top executives including games boss Sean Shoptaw have also been promoted…
Behind XDefiant's toxic work culture, crunch, delays, and a group of directors and managers internally referred to as 'The Boys Club'.

This game will be tossed out broken unplolished with a bloated budget trying to be cod but will fail sense ubi can get there shit in order. If i was me i would have gotten rid of this boys club asap there is alot looking for work out there.
Every industry has these issues
Some companies I’ve worked for were great and some were toxic as hell (UPS when I was a teenager was extremely toxic and I have heard it still is) It all starts at the top. They either hold people accountable , set standards and treat people with respect or the crap rolls downhill.
um, draconian drm, console ports, not understanding the pc market, lying to the customers, I wouldn't blame anyone on pc for abandoning ubisoft at all.
Their ports are well optimised.Its just their DRMs and habit of making comments about pc gaming.
"They have always been able to showcase their games well, with great quality and a good sense of marketing, but one area of the industry they haven’t been able to penetrate is the PC."
Umm, this is the problem, the author doesn't seem to realize that Ubisoft became the "prominent game publisher" it is today off the back of PC gaming. They made their millions on the PC and then jumped ship to the console and flipped PC gamers the bird on the way over.
So it's not a case of why they haven't been able to penetrate the PC market, because that's where they came from. Their problem is they expect the PC market to welcome them back with open arms after they left it for dead. Then on top of that they use draconian DRM on their games they finally (and more often than not, poorly) port over. It's like begging for forgiveness whilst kicking you square in the balls!
