It might be a while since you last played Catalyst but it does follow a pretty traditional open-world model. It’s actually not that unusual for an open-world game to have separate levels that don’t take place on the main map, so it’s not like when Catalyst did that it was particularly unique.

They want to cancel Skull and Bones so badly. That government contract seems like one of their biggest regrets.

Also their weird release windows for Watch dogs Legion, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, and Immortals were pretty much released back to back. That’s 3 massive open world games released in a span of 2 months!

The problem with modern ubisoft is they got really good at one thing (Open world AC games) and then decided that ALL their tent poles should be based on the same design philosophy. AC, Ghost Recon WildLands, FarCry, Division, and Skull and Bones. when zoomed out are basically the same gameplay loop with different…

At my last job when they used phrases like ‘lean operation’ it just meant you’re now doing more work with the same amount or less people. 

The CEO called it “the biggest pipeline in Ubisoft history” in his email to staff and said he’s excited to share more at this year’s E3 conference in June.

“What if we rebrand Skull and Bones as an Assassin’s Creed game?”

I’m just waiting for the board to finally realize that Yves has turned Ubisoft into a directionless dumpster fire while also making it an unattractive place to work for talented employees, and dump his ass.

Unending exponential growth/returns is impossible and inevitably the time will come where those expectations can no longer be met by reality and it all comes crashing down.

So, I don’t play LoL. Never have. But a similar thing happened in Gears 5's life cycle, where the trailers they released for each season were increasingly hyped by the community as they constantly showed new modes/maps/characters/skins, and we would sift through them with a fine toothed comb to find everything we…

“And I doubt he looked into rehoming it as much as he should have. But that’s still fairly run of the mill behavior.”

“but this is something he had no control over.”

Much like Logan Paul’s whole career, he probably did this on a whim without thinking too much about the consequences.

Pro-Tip 1) Don’t adopt a pet unless you understand what it means to own the pet and are committed to taking care of that pet for its whole life. Yes this means even if they get bigger then you were told they were, or have health issues or if you have to move. If you can not commit to an pet, then don’t get one.

I am very skeptical that he was “unable” to move the pig with him to Puerto Rico and more likely was just unwilling to do it.  

I would like to make it a crime to market “toy” or “mini” pigs. Those don’t exist unless you starve the pig.

By his own admission, he moved to Puerto Rico to avoid a higher tax bill. So it’s not like anyone was forcing him to move to a place where his pig couldn’t come too.

Come on, you’re simping for Logan Paul? That’s pretty pathetic.

It was irresponsible of him to get a pig in the first place if he wasn’t capable of devoting the time and effort necessary to properly care for it.
