Speaking as someone who's worked with Capcom, stays in touch with its people, and has, shall we say, professional room to maneuver, I'll just say that contrary to what the technical director in the IGN article asserts, I know for a *fact* many Capcom employees are VEHEMENTLY against this direction.
Capcom is another studio embracing gen-ai sadly. Popular titles include: Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, Okami, Street Fighter, Ace Attorney, Devil May Cry, and Mega Man. -y

Cheapest yet (less than a burger) for a gem of a game. Gorgeous, too.
Pro tip: It is not a cover shooter. It's a superhero game. As soon as you can, start smashing up absolutely everything you can. You can have an infinite-ammo rocket launcher with a 300% blast radius upgrade on top of that.

Of course, it's also obviously unhinged what they're doing. Declaring that they're going to be cutting operating costs while also ending remote work.
I shouldn't have to say that operating massive inner-city corporate office complexes is not free. And it's also a cost to the employees, too!

Yeah, from what I'm hearing from people actually at Ubisoft studios... nobody is happy with the news except for the bosses, who are experiencing the same mass delusion as every other CEO who thinks that AI will finally rid them of these meddlesome 'employees'.

I still think about Infra, and wish I had pushed more people to play it when I had a platform. It's nobbly and weird and surprising, a first-person explore-o-puzzler which opens with PowerPoint then tumbles into conspiracy and catastrophe.

we're getting all the downsides of cyberpunk (social alienation, ruthless hyper capitalism, digital mass surveillance state) but none of the promised upsides (cheap street food, cool jackets, super drugs that make you really fast and strong before they kill you)

Note: for all this discussion (which is accurate as far as it goes), note the text saying they were on “flights”. As in: the amounts seized here doesn’t even hit the reporting threshold. This is just straight up stealing from people because they’re (maybe) immigrants.

For those who don't know the regs, there are restrictions on the amount of cash one can bring into most countries ($10K USD), but there are very few restrictions on the amount one can send outside. So where we have 2 people, there has been not even a regulatory offense committed.
