I might even believe the excuse that these were placeholders left in accidentally, because this is shockingly bad AI gens (like some super old models), but it's also modern day Ubisoft...

A probable timeline:

  • "We're investing in artificial intelligence to boost our teams' productivity."

  • "Our shift to AI has streamlined our development processes (according to middle management), so we've laid off a number of workers as redundant."

  • "The people who remain don't know which AI assets were meant to be placeholders."

  • "We're delaying our financials and suspending trading of our stock, but there's no cause for alarm."

I still don't understand how a company gets to decide to stop trafing their stock....

[–] SaltySalamander@fedia.io 1 points 5 days ago

I'm fairly certain that the company itself can't unilaterally halt trading.

Ubisoft fans should be accustomed to being incredibly disappointed by now, surely.

I have so many old games to play it’s very easy to never again buy anything from Ubisoft or EA

Tho to be fair with my backlog I dont need to buy any games ever again

As I start my 37th playthrough of fallout 4, only to stop halfway through to start my 6th playthrough of cyberpunk.

The name alone when I saw an ad made me cringe.
