When you thought that the moment Ubisoft’s shares reached the rock bottom was bad, or the moment they had to sell all of their most valuable assets to the new investors was bad, no one could predict they can sink any lower, right? Well, there was some development in that matter...
Of course, you heard already about the massive breach in Rainbow Six Siege, which gave the hackers chance not only to give users a lot of rare items to play with, but also the internal currency was flowing out like there is no tomorrow.
Of course, Ubisoft was quick to reverse the transactions and restore the order... for a few days, until another breach happened. But still, that was not the worst thing that happened to them in the early 2026. In Ubisoft Halifax studio in their North America branch, 71 employees have unionized. 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.

The most bizarre idea in recent times?
Great news for all of the fans of Cheech and Chong comedy duo - now you can play as their characters in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 and Call of Duty Warzone! And... it is hard to tell why.
Stalker 2 news - Stop this planet, I wanna get off!
Stalker 2 popped up in the news again, due to NFTs drama, but also exposed that nothing has changed in the world lately. Unfortunately.
Oh Netflix, never change!
Over 6 months after introduction of Netflix Games - yes, it has happened, and don’t worry you’re not the only one that missed that - quite interesting numbers were published. Or rather one number - less than 1%.
Aggregate scores - how is this still a thing?
If you browse through any of many websites offering users chance to vote for the games you will notice one interesting thing - even though the scale is usually between 1 and 10 it is hard to find a game that would be outside of the range between 6 and 9.
