A hot potato: Following the disappointing Shadows, Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced has become a much-needed smash hit for Ubisoft. So, what does the company do to thank those who worked on the game? For those at Ubisoft Barcelona, it's a round of layoffs.
It was revealed last month that Ubisoft was laying off more than 380 people at offices in Winnipeg, Belgrade, and in the company's global publishing division. It was also reported that 51 people would be let go at Ubisoft Barcelona.
That was before Black Flag Resynced was released. The remake has been hailed as Ubisoft's best Assassin's Creed in years: 2 million copies sold in a day, the series' concurrent Steam player record smashed by almost 40,000, and generally good reviews from players and critics.
