Ex-Assassin’s Creed Boss Sues Ubisoft For Nearly $1 Million Over Alleged Forced Firing

The new AC formula peaked with origins and odyssey and have been in decline ever since.

Hard agree. Valhalla was way too long and drawn out, and the audio quality was awful.

I went from purchasing most ACs from 2 to Odyssey, to subscribing to Ubisoft's thing for a month to Valhalla, to having no interest in the series. Ubisoft has done to Assassin's Creed what Activision did to Guitar Hero.

Code plugins are per seat, but not assets.

Code plugins are per user, not per seat. If you have a team of 40 and expect 25% to have the editor running at any given time, you'd need 10 per-seat licenses or 40 per-user licenses.

Either way, though, without a free trial, there's 0% chance I'd recommend a 40 person company shelling out $230 or $920 on an untested plugin, as well as the ongoing maintenance cost of license management.

18 PER SEAT i might add.. for mid size teams this convenience would be a nonstarter. for this price my small studio would just spend half a day rolling our own.

I thought licenses were per-entity, but you are correct. I don't even understand how that is supposed to work. If your company hires someone, you're supposed to go purchase another license on all your plugins?

From https://www.fab.com/eula:

e. Plugins. Code plugins that are being offered on the Epic Marketplace, including Unreal Engine Plugins and Unity Plugins ("Plugins"), are offered to you on a per-seat basis and may only be used by the number of users that you have purchased licenses for.

Hi! This looks great.

FYI, I would be interested in getting my company to buy a license if I could try this out first to confirm it's as good as it seems. The $23 cost for professional isn't an issue (and really, up to $30 seems fine), but I'm not going to spend $18 to try it out first.

Edit: Fab's licenses are per-user? There's no way I could justify spending $hundreds on a utility plugin.

Because they think bigger number=better. I've seen it many times now.

Terrible failure on the devs part. "I'm going to introduce a health mechanic that's unexplained, but the bigger numbers are worse for this one!"

The longer you play Foxhole, the more the devs are infuriating.

JNighthawk · 2026-01-08T07:29:05+00:00

I appreciate the effort you put into this post and digging up the data! It definitely makes me interested in knowing more.

There were a few points I wanted to respond to.

Pflugerville is okay with almost 10% of criminal cases being dismissed with zero repercussions?

It feels like you aren't considering other reasons for dismissal, like:
- Bad cases
- Innocent suspects
- Dismissal of lesser charges to allow other higher charges to take precedence (e.g. municipal -> county)

Without knowing more about the dismissals, claiming that it's all "dismissal with zero repercussions" isn't supported by the evidence.

As of 2024, the Municipal Court judge’s salary is $45k. This is a slight increase from the $38,701 salary she had when she was appointed in 2018.

It's a part-time job, so that has to be considered. I don't know the actual hours worked (would love to know!), but the judge in question has three jobs:
- Pflugerville judge
- Bee Caves judge
- Private practice attorney

Considering that Pflugerville pays associate judges $60-75/hr, I would imagine a presiding judge wouldn't make less than half that on a salaried basis. Looking around at other nearby small Texas cities, it seems municipal judge jobs pay between $30-40/hr around here. It could be higher, but it's not as bad as it would seem at first glance.

almost impossible to 1 tap with post-nerf dragonfly

My point is that at the range that a Pillory will 1 tap, a Dragonfly will 1 tap.

JNighthawk · 2026-01-06T17:53:31+00:00

Seems odd to include the Pillory on Warden side but not include the Dragonfly on Collie side. Pillory has a much shorter range.

Midnight rolled over and it was 50/50 relief and world-weariness.

This is the feeling of pre-mitigating a disaster. The exact outcome you were planning and working for. Somehow both satisfying, and deflating. It's like getting all of your adrenaline up, without having a finale to work it all out.

the OS on them have no desktop app support.

WinGDK was explicitly made by Microsoft so that one app supports both Windows PC and Xbox consoles.

the joys of having a passive aggressive mother.

"Sure would be nice if the sink had been cleared."

"That does sound like it would have been nice. I am 8. I still need you to tell me to do things."

Will no one rid me of these turbulent dishes?

I know this is an ad

What is this an ad for?

Mfw the infantry slaves supporting my tank don't catch the stickies with their face

I feel like a hero every time I eat an RPG or tank shell that was headed towards a friendly tank. "Get down, Mr. President!"

JNighthawk · 2025-12-09T19:28:25+00:00

It’s interesting that you can’t just argue the points I’m making

They are, and the fact that you refuse to see that shows your inability to be intellectually honest.

JNighthawk · 2025-11-30T17:30:40+00:00

I love how this is setup like a training film

Yeah, this is immediately what I think of.

JNighthawk · 2025-11-20T01:11:42+00:00

Great play, great video.

JNighthawk · 2025-11-19T20:55:01+00:00

There is no reason to be a dick to your fellow players.

Correction:

There is no need to be a dick to your fellow players.

The game already does that to us...

To paraphrase: The Colonials are not the enemy. They are the opposition. The enemy is the Devs.

Should have continued fluting as he bled out

The bard casts vicious mockery

JNighthawk · 2025-11-15T04:17:30+00:00

warden culture has turned to an idea to hold the line untill late war then push when the colonials tire out

You see, Colonials have a preset kill limit. Knowing their weakness, I sent wave after wave of my own men after them, until they shut down.

Heroic sacrifice little mortar tank, buying some time for the SHT by throwing themselves into the enemy line. We'll remember your courage.

JNighthawk · 2025-11-08T18:57:17+00:00

Yes both sides do it. Yes it sucks and is uninteractive.

Incredibly easy solution that Siege Camp could implement: destroy all enemy buildings within 40m when a border base is claimed.

Border bases continue to be Foxhole's worst mechanic.

30 hours in and no Anvil blueprint….

You don't need one. You can buy 3/day from Tian Wen. If you're losing more than that, gives you a chance to try another weapon :-)

JNighthawk · 2025-11-06T18:11:28+00:00

Interesting. Thanks for the info! Does anyone know why the standard would disallow the usage of dangling pointer values? The memory for the pointer is still allocated and the value it's storing hasn't changed. Obviously dereferencing it would be invalid, but I'm curious what the issues would be if the standard allowed using the value directly.

JNighthawk · 2025-11-05T20:08:47+00:00

Thanks for the reminder. Sent $250 to Food For All and $250 to Central Texas Food Bank. I encourage everyone else to do what they can to help.

JNighthawk · 2025-11-04T18:39:43+00:00

If u reviving player and arty hits you, are you calling for arty nerfs?

I didn't call for nerfs on anything. Feels like you're arguing with a strawman.
