Ubisoft will be shutting down its free-to-play first-person shooter game “XDefiant” in the new year.
Cod shooters with gimmicky “abilities” fucking suck. No one is asking for them
Based on the fact that I see a lot of posts complaining about Call of Duty on the Threadiverse, I’d imagine that there are at least some people who would be interested in an alternative to CoD.
Look, I hate Ubisoft as much as the next guy, but this shit always pisses me off. I guarantee that the reason most of these games fail or go in a bad direction is because of the parent company making poor decisions and then punishing the studios as a scape goat. Microsoft closed Arkane Studios after the disaster that was Redfall when most of the poor choices came from Bethesda and Microsoft. Arkane didn’t even want to make the game in the first place, but they still got shut down and they all lost their jobs.
Fuck AAA game companies. The only clout they have is making decent games in the past when they were smaller. The only time most of these companies made any decent games (not all, but most) was when they were the indie devs competing against the big boys.

Bethesda and Arkane had a common owner, ZeniMax. Bethesda itself didn’t own Arkane.
If any child company is being blamed, it’s always the parent companies fault. Not like it changes literally anything though because people keep paying these companies to be treated like garbage.
I feel you. All my gaming friends buy the newest CoD and assassin’s creed games on release every time and then spend the first few weeks just complaining about the games. And I’m like, let’s go play our multiplayer Stardew Valley save that we have hundreds of hours in and actually have fun playing, my guys.
Totally didn’t see that coming…
We have The Division, Rainbow Six, and Ghost Recon (and Farcry if you want to add that) as military shooters Ubisoft already makes.
And among the seemingly thousands of other military shooter options out there, it’s hard to be surprised yet another military shooter didn’t do well in this landscape.
if we want to fix job market we need more capitalism, more billionaires more wealth that will eventually trickle down,
it’s simple economics
