Ubisoft is looking for a way out of the malaise
Last week we talked in detail about the boredom and bad mood at Ubisoft in the Peepshow. After disappointing results a Star Wars: Outlaws the price of the shares of the thundering French was below the lowest level. It was clear that Ubisoft had a deep and pressing crisis. It seemed that the great power on the rocks was without direction. Because where would the money come from to pay 19,000 people if your big game Assassin’s Creed: Shadows had to be canceled suddenly? A week has passed and we can already tell you that a lot has happened in those seven days. Boris and JJ keep you fully informed and, as always, give their candid opinion on something that is starting to look more and more like a soap opera.
Are subsidies for game developers justified?
In this episode the two also talk about waiving subsidies for small developers. Is this a successful way to help local business or is it just a waste of public money? This was in response to reports that no less than 236 million euros in subsidies were given in Germany. Did the money provide anything too? You will find the answer in this video.
