Ubisoft employees, both past and present, voiced their ongoing dissatisfaction on social media about the company's lack of progress in improving working conditions, despite their earlier open letter outlining four critical demands. They announced, "100 days ago we signed our open letter and set our four key demands. None of the demands have been met. So today we're launching a new petition, open for all our supporters to sign. Please sign and share." The collective frustration stems from the absence of significant changes and updates within Ubisoft, urging the company to prioritize employee well-being to prevent negative outcomes such as decreased productivity and employee burnout. This move underlines the pressing need for Ubisoft to foster a more supportive and positive workplace, aligning with broader industry calls for better treatment and fairness for all game developers.
Gamers looking forward to the GTA Trilogy can now start pre-loading the game on platforms like PlayStation and Xbox, allowing them to jump straight into the action as soon as it's officially released. The pre-load feature is especially beneficial given that the download size for the remastered trilogy is significantly larger—about five times the size of the original PlayStation 2 versions. This increase reflects the addition of modern textures and other enhancements, which require more storage. For instance, the original GTA III required only about 1.5 GB, whereas the remastered version now takes up around 5 GB. Although this is a notable increase, it remains modest compared to other recent game releases, making it manageable for eager fans.
Final Fantasy XIV enthusiasts will need to exercise a bit more patience as the eagerly awaited Endwalker expansion has been postponed by two weeks, now set for release on December 7th, with early access beginning December 3rd. Although delays can be frustrating, they are crucial for developers to refine and optimize the game, ensuring a polished and stable experience upon release. To address the community's concerns and provide more details, a comprehensive announcement is expected soon, along with a video on the main Final Fantasy XIV channel that will delve into the reasons for the delay and what new features and improvements Endwalker will bring. This approach underscores the commitment to delivering a high-quality gaming experience, highlighting the importance of developer diligence in the intricate process of game creation.
