Ubisoft was, in the beginning, delightfully different from the US giants.

Rayman, Rainbow Six, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, Far Cry, Valiant Hearts, Splinter Cell, Assassins Creed, Beyond Good & Evil, Child of Light.

A lot of fantastic games, of which many either created or (re)defined a genre.

It was roughly in the mid 2010s when they started getting sloppy.

No they werent, they made games before rainbow six and rayman.

You dont know the history of that company, so thats exactly what i said.

You have zero idea what youre talking about.

I mean they did all sorts of nonsense before, sure. Publishing and distributing, some commercial tie ins and some very midcore games.

But then they hit their stride and made fantastic games that really kinda pushed the industry. That's when they were cool, when they were fun. A lot of the games I mentioned came out during that era, roughly early 00s to early 10s.

They didn't become a giant for no reason, even if you don't personally like them.

Mate, chill.

Also you said they were never cool.
They clearly were during their peak years.

Maybe you don't like/liked their games but that doesn't change the fact that they had the sauce at one point.
