You have been Ubisofted! Prince of Persia remake is now officially cancelled, studios in Halifax and Stockholm are closed. #Ubisoft@GameDEV #Business@GameDEV
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.

Fun fact: Vaas Montenegro did not exist in Far Cry 3 before they met Michael Mando and he messed up the required role...

Ubisoft is raising the team of AI sloperators: the goal is to "find where AI is the most usable in the whole pipeline" (LN).
And I feel a bit of a pain here: Ubisoft were among first who built neural networks over a decade ago. They were used to bake cloth physics (and run it 1000 times faster), merge animations (and make characters switch between them smoother in a changing environment). In general they were pioneers in a very good use cases of what now can be called AI.
And now they are looking to use it in Data, Programing, Game and Narrative Design, and more. Which is not what players want. They do not want games be written by AI, ok?

Marathon just reached the 4th spot among top sellers on Steam, while Rainbow Six Siege lost letter X in its name and now (freaking how?) on the third spot.
Apparently, gamers are not getting wiser...

Warhorse/KCD/Mafia creator Daniel Vavra has Ubisoft shares in his stack. And with his usual attitude to everything and everyone, he's bitching about it.
