    So real people devs are not responsible for anything.

    And I never said that now did I? The developers did decide to shut it down, I’m sorry words have multiple meanings, why would you assume I meant the specific employee, instead of the company like my comments specify? Thats on you.

    Edit Maybe you’re confused since Ubisoft has both development and publishing studios…?

      I don’t care your own word meanings. Your original comment is just wrong. Even if you mean the development studio it is still Ubisoft executives. The company hierarchy doesn’t matter.

        My own words…? It’s literally a term used to describe a studio that develops software. It’s an industry term…

        Even if you mean the development studio it is still Ubisoft executives. The company hierarchy doesn’t matter.

        It’s the development studio, the hierarchy does matter. Since it changes from the publisher who controls sales, to the development studio, who controls the development and service. A developer can always choose to use their own funds to keep a game alive, it’s just never worth the cost, so why would even the employees want to burn money on that, since they know it’s a waste of a paycheck in the end? Good employee developers would inform upper management that it’s not a wise decision, if they didn’t, well that’s on them still now isn’t it?
