Ubisoft’s Pro-Casual Stance Draws Ire From Gaming Community
Sunday 1 June 2008 @ 9:50 am | By Quiche Comment now!
In response to critics of Ubisoft’s poor showing on the Wii, company forum moderator Raide made some comments that have alienated many Wii owners recently, dropping bombshells like “If you look at the most successful Wii games, they are not amazing new AAA titles,” and “Parents who are buying a console for their children do not really care about Prince of Persia, Rainbox Six, or Far Cry on the box, they want games that are going to be good for their children and not get them in the local newspaper.”
He also noted that they have “started venturing into the casual gaming market,” and is putting less focus on the mature kind of games Ubisoft used to be known for. Of course ,these comments only helped cement the beliefs that these critics already had about the company. The post was just dripping with cynicism, and to put it simply, if Ubisoft thinks like this guy, then they really have sold out.
