It’s definitely a “you get what you deserve” situation, yet I can’t help but be sad, thinking that a decade ago, Ubisoft made some of my favorite game (e.g Splinter Cell, Far Cry 3, AC Black Flag).
Though that Ubisoft is long gone by now, and I haven’t touched their games for years.

Black Flag was insanely good, it boggles my mind they managed not to capitalise on that

I was so looking forward to that game. Once I found out it was basically just a multiplayer experience, my interest dropped. Still haven’t played it.
The problem with many games and movies nowadays is that the gatekeepers are people who don’t really have creative/artistic background. They are business people who make decisions on whatever they think makes the company the most money.
A.I. has its issues and controversy, but I feel like creative people who can’t get through the blocked doors of these business types will go on their own and create wonderful things with the technology. I guess time will tell.

They tried. Their pirate game came out last year.
