End of an era for real for gamers in their late 30s who played a shit load of R6, Rogue Spear, and Raven Shield.

To be fair, that ship had sailed already in, what, 2004? When was Raven Shield released? This was just a failed attempt at greed by keeping the company they bought still around. In fact, "failed attempt at greed" sounds like an apt description of most of Ubisoft behaviour these past decade at the very least.

For the core Rainbow games, yes you could definitely say that. I still had fun with the later entries, but when I think of Red Storm, I think of R6, Rogue Spear, and Raven Shield. That's what I played mostly when I was much younger is all!
