There's so many ways this could go wrong, and I'm not convinced Telltale's Walking Dead was not just a lucky hit. Please be good, please be good, please be good.
This is how expansion packs worked when they were still a thing. I have no problem with that for something with a huge, built-in playerbase like Mario Kart. It'd irk me to no end if it happened to something niche like Evolve where the community will be small just because of the nature of the game, or when it happens in games with very short lifespans like Space Marine where you really don't want to divide an already small and dying userbase.
This is one of those rare occasions where "lol" is the only right response.
The only ubisoft games I've bought in the last ten years have been ones where I didn't notice ubisoft where involved, which made the surprise uplay ontop of steam a giant flipped finger in my face and ended with me not playing them. All they're losing off of me is those accidental buys.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. I don't mind Uplay, I don't mind Steam, I don't mind Origin, but I DON'T WANT more than one of them and especially not tiered over eachother. Steam is the one I'm using, so I'm getting all my games there. It's not worth my time or the hassle in maintaining multiple accounts and multiple friends list. I'm already fucking sick of remembering logins and passwords online. I just want to play games fast, easy and reliably.
She completely disappeared from public eye since the first Assassin's Creed it feels like. Hopefully she makes something cool post-Ubisoft.
Being involved in development makes you a developer by definition.
For example, Gary Whitta is technically a game developer for his work on Walking Dead. I'm not sure if John Drake would be though. PR is kind of on the outside of that again. I'd try do some other examples, but I am awful with names and pretty much just know the people passing through Giant Bomb. Tim Schafer is a dev. The business guy in the Double Fine documentaries is a dev, cause he throws money and people at stuff to make it develop.
Good for them. I find it odd that Melcher pushed to get it approved when he was on the outside looking in at "esports" and League in particular, but then again, you don't have to play a sport to tell if you like it.
