It was one of the first examples of such action taken by the staff of AAA publishers.
Of course, it did not last long, Ubisoft have shut down the whole Halifax studio as part of the effort to "streamline" their operations.

It was worth it!
Few years back YouTube, as it is a tradition of that company, screwed over the creators on the platform by changing the rules of monetization and in single move cutting a lot of people from potential income. But at least now we can say it was all worth it!
World of Warships - the final chapter
No, it’s not gonna be another "World of Warships is dead" or "WOWS is dying" article. Unfortunately, this completely broken game is alive, and it looks like with the community they have, it will be alive for a long, long time. But it is a final chapter - I’m done.
