That's what I was hinting at.

They should really make an effort and do some real decision making on their product and how it is handled. They shouldn't have just gone to UBI because they did the previous series. If it had to be so, give it another title - call it something else and disassociate it from Ubisoft entirely. |
Good Lord!
Once again, for all those with a high resistance-level to understanding.
1.) Maddox Games is a 100% subsidiary enterprise of 1C. Which makes all MG employees also employees of 1C.
2.) 1C handles the distribution stuff (that's what publishers do). 1C also provides finances and therefor calls the shots.
3.) The reason that Ubi is still in the same boat is because of ancient contracts signed years ago. Nobody went to them just before the release and asked them to join - they were already there.
Is it really that hard to understand the situation? Or is that another case of "I read what I want to read just to hold up my very personal conspiracy theories and to make myself look smart in some online board"?
