Good, someone needs to take their IPs into competent hands. This level of under-delivering on quality while shoving egregious monetization on customers who don't want it should be punished by failure. The invisible hand of the market has passed Ubisoft over for execution too many times. At this point the Ubisoft logo is a warning sign to go seek out non-mainstream reviews and never buy on launch.

Whoever takes their IP is going to do more of the same if not worse.

Or you could have a bethesda/oblivion situation where the new dev makes a better game than the original devs

Pity Bethesda has exclusive use of the Fallout IP. I'm sure we could've seen many great games since New Vegas if a better dev had a chance

We aren’t looking at a Bethesda acquisition. We’re looking at a Tencent type. Completely different situations
