It's a shame this game has to pander to eSports fanatics rendering it into a completely hollowed out soulless experience. From the early days of Operation Chimera to selling half of your stake and IPs to Tencent, Ubisoft has seen it all.

There have been many victims of the eSports neuroticism. League of Legends is probably the most extreme example I can come up with. You will eventually get banned from the game if you choose the "wrong" play style. You don't even have to cheat or play poorly. Overwatch suffered a very similar fate - They removed a player slot to force it to fit the "5 man" meta. In the case of OW, the changes proved so unpopular they had to literally delete the original title from everyone's PC to force use of the only remaining option.
Not much good happens where people are treating video games like a hobby or even job. Last time I played that type of game was csgo in college, never again.
+1. Can’t believe how they held amazing IPs and then milked them to death while lowering the quality game over game. Whether it’s far cry or assassin’s creed, all the later iterations are worse than the series start.
Oh wow, they cancelled it?
I played it for a bit on release. Kinda fun, didn't stick with it, but surprised it's already cancelled so short after release.

That’s the statement they said when they shut it down. Ubisoft only had one goal all of 2010s, to turn item shop marketplace micro transactions into their primary business. They failed. They failed because they forgot why they existed. So let’s all make them remember.
