Even after Tom Clancy's death, Ubisoft can't leave his name alone

Ubisoft is already becoming worse than EA. They are known for making garbage games such as Stupid Invaders and Hooters Road Trip, and they are known to milk the Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, Just Dance, Rabbids (which I despise with a flaming burning passion a lot), and Tom Clancy's series for stupid reasons, mainly since they have more popularity and gives them enough money but ignore their other franchises like Brothers in Arms, (also abandoned by Gameloft) Rayman, Driver, and the sports franchises they acquired. From what I can tell, the Tom Clancy's series has been milked an unnecessary lot lately, which really annoys me. More specifically, the focus tends to be on Ghost Recon, Rainbow Six and The Division rather than Splinter Cell, Endwar or H.A.W.X. (mainly due to the failure of the latter two and Splinter Cell being plot-driven).

The company has been heavily criticized by gamers numerous times for using Tom Clancy's name onto any shooter game made by them, because almost all of these games have absolutely nothing in common with Clancy's literature at all. For example, the now-cancelled Ghost Recon entry, Frontline, was going to be a Battle Royale multiplayer game. In fact, as far as I can tell, Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell, H.A.W.X., Endwar, and The Division are all very unoriginal as they are not even based on his literature. The only franchise I know that comes close to his literature is nothing more than Rainbow Six. It just annoys me how much they have abused Tom Clancy's name. From what I can even tell, he had very little involvement in the aforementioned franchises (except for Rainbow Six) but it seems this evil company is using his name heavily. Basically, it just seems like they're promoting his name horribly into fooling his readers and fans into playing those inferior garbage games. That's a great way to treat a respected writer there, Ubisoft. Nicely done. But it's never working again. I can't wait to start playing games with the names of similar writers, like Dale Brown's, Larry Bond's, Stephen Coonts's, David Hagberg's, Harold Coyle's, Ralph Peters's, etc. It's just pitiful. It's dragging the name of the deceased through the mud these days.

For me, I have no desire in any games with Tom Clancy's name on them. I officially gave up long after Break Point. Will they ever learn to leave this writer alone and stop using his name? I hope so.
