bobbyrk 01/27/25 10:35:50 PM #9:	185 people total is less than 1% of their workforce (Ubi doesn't outsource to other companies as much, hence why they have so many employees worldwide). They shut a single studio down that had 50 people working there, and the rest are targeted roles at several other small support studios. This is almost a nothingburger and would be if it wasn't for Internet hatred of the company. --- Behold the angry wizard putt-putt-putting away. <cite>bobbyrk posted [p:983834894] in Ubisoft an...
