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.

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.
Six months since the premiere of Stalker 2, the title dropped to about 6,000 users in weekly peaks, which means about 4% of those who played the game in November still roam the Zone, which is not a great success.

Another month and another case of gaming companies trying to outbid each other who will come up with worst idea. And, oh boy, do they got good at it.
A long, long time ago, in a galaxy not far from here, one man had a vision of a game so huge that it will overshadow all other games. He still has this vision, even though it was years overdue.
I recently read an article pointing out how Google and Facebook killed browser games, but while author made some valid points, he missed on few key elements.
If you are one of the hundreds of thousands of people who played the recently published Baldur’s Gate 3, you might have missed that you are actually playing a really bad game. Well, not actually bad game, it’s more like "a game bad for the industry". Yup, it’s Elden Ring all over again.
It may come as complete shock to you, but Google, a company that started and buried dozens of new projects in last 20 years, is about to do it again. This time it will be their half-hearted venture in...
GSC Game World has done it again - they postponed the premiere of Stalker 2. Again. Once more. Yet again. The umpteenth time. And that is the whole news.
