Ubisoft has warned of falling company revenues and said it's seen that "many new games are struggling to stand out" as players turn away from traditional full-price releases.
The future thing was always a good idea but never well execute in the games. In the first one is better because you don’t have much to do inside the Animus as Altair so the conspiracy thing reading e-mails and investigating your cell is at least intriguing. From AC2 onwards every time you are disconnected from Animus to play as Desmond is boring and distracting, I can’t even remember the other characters.
After a certain point, all of the future parts of the games felt like B-stories that were tangential to the main future timeline.
After they killed Desmond they didn’t have any linchpin to hold the plot line. It’s a mess.
