Claude Guillemot, one of five brothers founded Ubisoft, died in a small aircraft (Cessna 421) crash.
He once saved the family business in early days, helping with diversification from agriculture into music CDs and other media distribution.
That supported the family financially and built its initial network to distribute games in France, which then became Ubisoft. He was later responsible for their expansion in Asia and some R&D stuff, and general operations. And was not a part of scandals, so, sad loss no doubt.
He was also the owner of gaming peripherals brands Trustmaster and Hercules.

POV: You bought a Ubisoft game... #Ubisoft@GameDEV
POV: Ubisoft sales are higher than expected and so players can't get into the game since not enough servers...
Also, same as in many of their games, cutscenes are locked at 30 FPS which crushes the VRR (GSync/FreeSync) on the majority of monitors and make all these moments stutter like hell.

Ubisoft is working on a fix for locked cutscenes but as of now there are mods to fix it. Or, you can set the game to high preset (or lower) and it will remove the lock.

Watch Dogs (2014)
Looks both good and dated but for something that old it's nice.
The city is much less interactive than in WD2 (where they pulled off tons of stores, public places, gang corners, and such). But the exploration is still rewarding.

Some more Watch Dogs (2014)
The game is as free and as flexible as a block of concrete, the AI of enemies is as graceful as the speeding truck, and the systems interact so well that if bandits attack you the police will come over and also attack you. And the firetruck can safely bypass a burning car.
And I still love this game and wasted 7+ hours in a couple of days, oh, dammit.

They fixed technical issues, got much better reviews, and surpassed 100K CCU (more than any other Assassin's Creed game before)

A logo of the strike from the Ubisoft Barcelona union: this office developed all underwater missions of the Black Flag remake and then 50 of them were fired.

Ubisoft announced HoMM3 remake, released the original game on Steam, and forgot to upload the actual build into that release.
It downloads 23KB dummy exe file. Like, are you for real?
