I've heard through the grapevines of the onilne cesspits that Ubisoft might be deliberately failing so the Guillomot family can buy it up and go private again. Is that pure nonsense or theoretically plausible? Ubisoft really has made inexplicable mistakes "lately"...
I thought Hollywood had hit rock buttom. Then this happened.

Remembering when Microprose was free and making excellent games.
True. They had some absolutely amazing games back in the day. They helped a small group of people I knew release a game that would revolutionize TBS games. That game was Master of Orion and that little group became SimTex.
Orion and Magic were just a year apart.
Gotta love the 90s.

Microprose
A great game but 2K owns that series' IP.

More monopoly power. As long as it's not Tencent. Fine with me. I was hoping for THQ Nordic though.
You were hoping for THQ "Studio Shutdown World Record Holder" Nordic?
Um, OK. You want to get rid of those franchises so badly?

Microprose
Oooo...sell the Silent Hunter franchise to Microprose so we can have good sub games (Not you, Silent Hunter 5, sit down) again.

Ubisoft franchises bought by EA and Microsoft... that will solve the "horribly managed" problem!
EDIT: just noticed the second article headline. Nice pairing!
