In a bombshell report by IGN, a Ubisoft shareholder, Gerage Kupa, is revving up for a protest outside Ubisoft's Paris HQ, accusing the company of shady dealings with EA and Microsoft regarding potential franchise acquisitions. Kupa, armed with criticisms of Ubisoft's management, demands a roadmap for recovery, calling out the lackluster execution and failure to adapt to market trends. Meanwhile, Ubisoft responds with vague statements about a review of strategic options, leaving gamers scratching their heads in confusion.
Over in the world of EA, the highly anticipated Skate 4 is still in alpha, but that hasn't stopped the publisher from introducing microtransactions for in-game currency. Testers are warned that their progress will be wiped clean before the game's Early Access launch, with purchases converting back to digital currency. And as if that wasn't enough drama, HazeLight Studio's Split Fiction hits a major milestone, selling a million copies in just 48 hours, outpacing its predecessor. With a friend pass included for co-op play, it's no wonder the game is gaining traction among players.
In the midst of shareholder battles and game development woes, one thing is clear: the gaming industry is a wild ride full of twists and turns. From protests outside corporate headquarters to the allure of in-game purchases, gamers are left wondering what the future holds for their favorite titles. As Split Fiction continues to soar in popularity, it's a testament to the power of engaging gameplay experiences that bring players together. And with Skate 4 on the horizon, despite the turbulence of resets and microtransactions, the excitement for new gaming adventures remains palpable.
