Ubisoft stopped producing their PvP XDefiant and fired about 277 employees at the studios who worked in the game of many players. “[We’ve] It is impossible to attract and retain enough players for a long time to compete at the level that we aim for in the free FPS market, “Ubisoft Marie-Sophie De Waubert’s CEO said in a statement to the later workers posted on Ubisoft’s website.”
The server many players will stay until June, de Waubert, and the latest season will still be added to the game. But you will not be able to download the game and register to play, nor do you buy anything in the game if you are installing a shooter. Whatever the player bought in the past 30 days will be refunded.
“[This] The decision also led to the closing of our San Francisco and Osaka manufacturers and to our Sydney production road, with 143 departures in San Francisco and 134 people capable of departing in Osaka and Sydney, “told us another person.
Although clearer and clear signs show that the game business model is a very risky service (and for some of us very tired), Ubichief claims that the company focuses on that will not change. She quoted the past support for the struggles before becoming sustainable, such as the Rainbow Six Siege and 3V3 Apherical Brawler tactical shooters to honor.
“Developing the game experience as a service is still a pillar in our strategy,” De Waubert said. “It is a highly competitive market and we will apply lessons with XDefiant to our future live games.”
None of them will have a lot of comfort for those who have no jobs, I imagine. Although this may not be a surprise. Back in September, an Insider Gaming report declared that the Management Board was not satisfied with the game and reviewed a bullet in it. In response to these rumors, the manufacturer Mark Rubin confirmed that Xdefiant was “not dead” in an official blog post.
“No, the game is not dead,” Rubin just said just a few months ago. “We know there are things we need to improve … But the game is working well. We just want it to do better. And we do it by resolving our community’s concerns.
That has not been shown to be the case. Ubisoft’s support for the game – and its workers – only lasted for more than six months. Since then, Rubin has rejected the initial reports of dissatisfaction that has been deleted from the Ubisoft website, replaced by the news closed yesterday. But you can get the main idea from this Kotaku report or see the update by WayBack.
“Ubisoft Xdefiant’s arena shoots need to do more to stand out from the crowd,” Ollie Ollie after playing the preview and discarded. Unable to imagine improvements and redesigns may have seen the last shot prosperous. As Ubisoft itself reminded us, they did it before with Rainbow Six Siege and for honor. But it seems that Ubisoft manager has no hope for such spins. The results are very clear: Nearly 300 people have to find new jobs.
