It Never Made Much Sense | Sacred Symbols, Episode 395

The Ubisoft that we knew is dead. In its place, a new structure has emerged, a federalized series of five "Creative Houses," each with its own studios, IP, revenue flow, and responsibilities. Ultimately, it's the new Ubisoft's way of giving their employees all the leeway they need to make great stuff. But then again, you know what they say about getting too much rope. Will the once-great French publisher survive and thrive again? One thing's for sure: The old way of doing things has long been a nonstarter. Other news this week includes a March 5th release date for Marathon, the spinning-off of Sony's TV business, more Xbox games en route to PS5, cumulative 2025 software sales data for the American market, and more. We then end things -- as we always do -- with six listener inquiries from our beloved audience. When should we expect word on Persona 6? Will we replay Returnal in preparation for Saros? How should Naughty Dog navigate the choppy marketing waters surrounding Intergalactic? Will Colin survive the upcoming winter storm? Follow the hosts!

It is hilarious to hear how restrained the crew is about Highguard, while if you listen to how the conversations were like for Concord - an entirely different beast. As Dustin has put it, "it was fun to dunk on Concord", and you guys definitely had... fun. "I'm rooting for them..." "Dunking becomes mean-spirited and strange..." "I hope they figure it out..." Damn. The folks behind Concord would kill for this treatment :(
