Let me remember my lean training... Ah yes, less labor equals more outputs.

You see, Ubisoft's studios are mounted on hot air balloons, sometimes they need to let go of some weight to catch the right current.

Ah yes, a Roadmap so ambitious it requires less hands.

Because of Ubisofts business decisions, I refuse to buy anymore of their games, and I absolutely love Assassin's Creed. Fuck greed. Fuck those leeches that just take and take.

Assassin's Creed went from being one of my favorite franchises to what felt like a generic action rpg. I still disagree with how they dealt with Desmond. As long as they keep including a level and tier system for gear and etc, it's not Assassin's Creed.

Them killing off Desmond started the decline of the series. The series isn't even about being an assassin any more with all the battlefields you fight in.

God, after playing as Desmond i was so excited as a kid at the possibility of a game set in the future, then they kill him and the series.

Were they middle managers? Because that's the best way to improve efficiency.

Since it's Ubisoft, don't stop there and get rid of top management, it's the best way to improve creativity and reduce harassment.
