Ubisoft versus Patrice Desilets
« on: May 07, 2013, 02:40:02 PM »
Quote from: Ubisoft
"The acquisition of THQ Montréal in January allowed Ubisoft to welcome 170 experienced developers, including Patrice Désilets, to our existing and renowned workforce. Unfortunately, since the acquisition, the good faith discussions between Patrice and Ubisoft aimed at aligning Patrice’s and the studio’s visions have been inconclusive. As a result, Patrice has left the studio. Our priorities remain with the teams already hard at work on projects in development. They are at the root of Ubisoft Montréal’s past and future successes."


Quote from: Patrice Desilets
"Contrary to any statements made earlier today, this morning I was terminated by Ubisoft," Desilets told Polygon. "I was notified of this termination in person, handed a termination notice and was unceremoniously escorted out of the building by two guards without being able to say goodbye to my team or collect my personal belongings."

"This was not my decision."

"Ubisoft's actions are baseless and without merit. I intend to fight Ubisoft vigorously for my rights, for my team and for my game."

Hey, all they said was he left; they never said he left willingly.

Creator of Assassin's Creed. He left Ubi a while ago (probably pissed that Jade Raymond got all the AC credit and not him) and formed THQ Montreal.

Ubi bought THQ Montreal and then fired him.

I thought she was the lead producer, honestly. I dunno, I haven't really paid any attention to its developers but just see her name (and pic of course) being thrown around in all the Assassin's Creed threads.

Even though the series always seemed intriguing to me, I only played a few hours of the second one and got quickly bored of its gameplay.

I screamed her name while playing Assassin's Creed 1. Mostly during the flag hunts.

To be fair, they were pretty much parading her around as the face of AC from announcement to release.

I don't really mind the duder, and the feminist thing all the journos seem to be on a kick about lately didn't bother me (there's better less disrespectful towards females ways of saying that but I can't think of one right now) until the jackoffs at kotaku took that vanillaware image out of context.
