"Like children under the supervision" of irresponsible management is how Ubisoft employees describe their experiences with the French game publisher ahead of the upcoming strike.
It's enough to say that Assassin’s Creed: Shadows was supposed to be the only chance to show that Ubisoft is still a serious player in the market.
The title didn't perform badly, but time has shown it clearly wasn't the success the French needed.
Ubisoft's recent moves show it all: big layoffs, plans for more job cuts, canceling six projects, and major shake-ups in the company's structure.
Basically, the idea behind the restructuring at Ubisoft is to help them make games and manage projects more efficiently.
However, as we've already written, employees are unsure if these changes are genuinely aimed at improving the company's situation in the long term.
Nevertheless, the actual "international" nature of the strike remains an open question, given the different situations of unions outside France. »
