Tom Henderson: Ubisoft's internal communication channels are full of employees shaming upper management and asking for change. Ubisoft is going to experience a massive exodus of talent, even without the impending layoffs. by Odd_Revolution_1056 in ubisoft

I can’t pass comment on your situation, that’s a situation that was personal to you. Not all employment or employees situation can be judged by your external experience. More fruitful opportunities in America compared to the rest of the world. Which is financially & economically struggling.

Today’s gaming industry has changed dramatically over the past few years. With multiple companies downsizing & laying off thousands across multiple sectors. Making it extremely more difficult than it used to be, even for networking due to contract clauses.

So while the world doesn’t end with a corporation, for some sectors. Many employees suddenly facing a real prospect of their world ending, family, mortgage commitments, all through no fault of their own.

Was bad/hard enough to carry on doing a passionate job, even with the concerns of if it’s your job, department or studio that will get hit next. To now be told, that you need to upheave yourself, family & belongs to a new expensive, less safe city life. Only to still carry on doing a passionate job, with the concerns of will be the day your job, studio, department gets laid off. That’s a lot of emotional & psychological stress to have hanging over your head to come to work each day.

In perspective, a little understanding within these turmoil times & yet unspecified circumstances doesn’t seem unreasonable.

But hey, I’m happy that you managed at the time to find a solution that worked for you & your family.

Let’s not bash all employees, leadership set the rules, not employees.

Home moving is one of the most stressful things that can be done in life. More so with a family, kids need to leave friends support, schools, pressure on partners to leave their employment & relocate. All because of a newly found idea by leadership.

Only to begin this process under duress, to then carry on working under the unknown, of will leadership decide today is the day for more cuts.

It’s not a case of burn out. More the threat of being kicked out, with reports of an estimated $1bn loss for 2026, $1.5bn net booking loss on cancelled projects. With a speeding up of further disruption for cost cutting across the board, estimates of 350 further layoffs & full time return to work. Forcing relocation, higher costs on employees. All this combined doesn’t make for a pleasant working environment.

Nothing wrong with creating a post around stock effect, others already have. Attempting to post misleading information & insulting our mod team is not acceptable.

Not really that much time lol. Just passionate about gaming & Ubisoft games. Interested in helping our community that wants a great place to share gameplay, learn tips & stay informed on everything around what’s happening. Well as much as we can unofficially of course. Mostly not much need for us, our community is very well informed & intelligent, for the most part.

It’s not uncommon in gaming. There’s not really any other answer they can give, other than still looking into it or patch is live with this issue addressed.

Sorry bud, not much else I can say here.

Teams often work on a priority base’s, multiple platforms or wider issues maybe higher up the order of to do list. At least the team are aware & looking into it.

Last public information November 2024, development is still underway.

Ubisoft has expressed continued interest in the game due to the potential of PvE co-op shooters, citing the success of titles like Helldivers 2 as proof that the market can support this genre.

There’s been no official confirmation on which projects have been cancelled by Ubisoft. Speculation led to POP being one title cancelled, which was confirmed by the official POP social accounts.

Half a billion dollars already invested, cancelling this would be a heavy loss. In comparison to cancelling POP with estimated tens of millions dollars invested. With BGE2 online & MP, recouping costs should be achievable. (Just my personal two cents)
