I mostly ignore this thread due to all the bickering, but Big Dan ran a video recently talking about the illusion of choice in the game, and it was fairly damning. Just nothing the player does mattering, at all. The narrative plays out identically, regardless. Which is pretty shitty.

There are some instances when recruiting allies that tell you "this choice will affect so and so".....not sure if it really does. Honestly, I'm ok with it. I'm not looking for The Witcher 3 here. But if people were sold that, then Ubi is just being dishonest. And that's not cool.

There’s been lots of games like that with the illusion that your choices matter. Hogwarts legacy to name an example

Most sites are reporting that layoffs and restructuring is expected, but no details have been announced.

I think the way this is going to work is Tencent will oversee game development, Ubisoft will have some veto rights on decisions, and Ubisoft will be the publisher.

Ubisoft will keep a handful of studios open to work on IPs not involved, like Rayman and shite.

Slowly Ubisoft will start closing studios, but for those that Tencent needs for game development. Those studios will be primarily staffed by Tencent hires.

They formed the 2nd company, because Tencent has no interest in the other IP, but wants the rights to these IP. . .which they will certainly get, if they haven't already.

These kinds of deals usually end in outright acquisition, as everyone expects will happen here.
