We haven’t seen the worst of this yet. Ubi, Take 2, etc: I reckon they’ll all cut.

Seems over for ‘high risk projects’. Bland-o-me-too games, here we come.

Yip. Those “high risk” things are always the first to go.

From what I know about the project, it’s only ‘high risk’ because it’s new IP. Seems unless it’s an FPS, a sequel or a minigame collection, it’s ‘high risk’ these days. Let’s hope I Am Alive doesn’t get shelved, if Pat’s Ubi warning turns out to be rather prescient.
