My buddy worked for Ubisoft Montreal. They paid him $48k CAD/year as an experienced developer. Only 2 weeks of PTO for the whole year (including sick leave). 60+ hour weeks. Required a whole CS degree.
AND FOR WHAT?
“We have investigated ourselves and have found that we’ve done nothing wrong.” has been a line that’s come up quite a bit in the last few years specifically when a company or organization starts investigating itself. Let’s see how that plays out for Ubisoft.
You mean making the exact same cookie-cutter game loop for more than a decade isn’t a good idea!?
Reverse the last 20 years and maybe we can start the healing process.
The board and the executives are the problem, so if they’re the ones ordering the investigation, this is pointless.
