Rainbow Six Siege has been hacked in several attempts by different groups.
First ones got access to the game server admin panel: they banned people and gave away $300m+ worth of goods for free. It seems that hackers banned Ubisoft employees while Ubisoft banned "people with suspicious amounts of currency". Most of these bans are rolled back now.
Then a few more groups seemingly got the full access to all the sources of the game. This still has to be confirmed, since Ubisoft is only discussing the admin access. They temporarily shut down the marketplace and secondary ban system that has been breached.
The security issue is not coming from Ubisoft, it's MongoBleed: MongoDB Zlib Vulnerability (CVE-2025-14847), affecting millions of servers worldwide.

Ubisoft sold Assassins Creed brand for promotional campaign of RAID: Shadow Legends — a pay 2 win hero-battler that became the synonymous of greed.
A few years ago RAID bought every major YouTube channel and was more annoying than Honey scam. But the trick paid off and the game made billions by being only playable if you pay tons of $$ every month.

The new Avatar DLC is probably the best thing Ubisoft delivered in ages. They made it 3rd person, removed fillers, created a worthy story, and fixed gameplay features.
One year after the original game and they turned it into a very impressive journey, that people actually liked.
Now the team behind it is being cut days after the release and after The Division 10th anniversary.

That's curious: one of the key people behind The Division wasn't waiting for layoffs and moved to EA DICE in advance.

Investors are kinda sad about Ubisoft moves: when you cancel half of your games and move release dates of others by a year or two, it somehow NOT MAKING IT LOOK LIKE A PROFIT.
