Against the background of leakage video from GTAVI In the industry, they started talking about how merged information affects games and their authors. Former employee Ubisoft made a bold statement - a leak on Assassin’s Creed Syndicate Changed the future of the series.

Recall, in December 2014, when "Syndicate" have not yet announced, journalist Jason Schreyer (Jason Schreier) published an article with unofficial information about action on Kotaku. Ex-host game designer Ubisoft Stanislav Kostyuk Today I told about the case in a series of tweets:

Believe Kostuuu, After an unsuccessful launch Assassin’s Creed Unity The public greeted the plum very negatively.

Myself Kostyuk He did not engage in the "Assassins", but colleagues told him that due to the reaction of players to Kotaku's material leadership Ubisoft decided to take the franchise as far as possible from its origins.

The game designer concludes that the leak not only demoralized the developers, but also led to radical changes in the series-it turned from a stealth-beer into a role-playing game. “All because some wanted a couple of seconds of fame, and the website was glad to give them for clicks”, - summed up Kostyuk.

I Joined Ubisoft January 2015, Not https://gamblingdata.uk/casinos/kazoom-casino/ to Long after Kotaku's Leak of Assassin's Creed Syndicate. My at the time New Colleages Told Me I've Just Missed a Huge Shitshow Surrounding this. Pic.Twitter.COM/OWBLEQRRM

I NEVER WORKED ON AC, BUT My Colleagus White Later Told Me The Overwhelms Negative Reception to This Leak in the Wake of Problematic Unity Was a Big Factor in in Making Sure the Franchise Direction Steers as Far Away from Classic AC Possible.

Now, this means that not only dd the leak demoralize the Team working on the game Greatly (Due to Tons of Negative Reception), But If the Pekle I Talked to Ar (Specifying this Cause on Huge Projects EVERYONE HAS Different Perspectives),

The LEAK ALSO Essentially Caused The Current 'Schism' of Classic/RPG Fans Due to a Vastly Changed Direction. All BecAuse Somebody Wanted a Couple Seconds of Fame and Website Was All to Give It Them For within Clicks. So, Yeah, Leks Can be Very ImpactFul.

On the Resetera forum Schreyer commented on the words of the game designer:

To blame for the fact that the series changed the course, not an extremely negative reaction to Assassin’s Creed Unity, out of the unfinished, but quite ordinary reporting (we did not even show the video - only described it), which was actually accepted quite warmly - this is perhaps the biggest grocery for today, and today there were a lot of casual!

It is easy to make scapegoats and blame the authors of leaks and journalists in the troubles of the industry, but, I assure Kotaku, is not responsible for the fact that Assassin’s Creed turned into a rpg series. What's next? I will be accused of transferring the release No Man’s Sky?

In the comments to the tweet Schreyer added that if you follow the logic Kostuka, The franchise should change annually-leaks precede the announcement of each “assassin” starting at least since 2012.

In addition, production Origins - The first role AC - Started immediately after the release Black Flag, In 2013. “Apparently, they [Ubisoft] went a year ahead in time to first find out about the leak ", - the reporter quipped.

The Article Was Almost Entirely Positive. I Just Read Through The Comments, The Neogaf Thread, and They're Also Nearly All Positive. I Know Its Fun to Blame Journalists for the Industry's Woes, But It Was the Disastrous Release of Unity to Ac Pivoting, NOT A LEAK

(ALSO, EVERY ASSASSINAS CREED GAME HAS LEAKED SINACE AT LEAST 2012, so by this logic the Entire Series SHOULD HAVE PIVOTEDAR

AC Origins Started Development Just After Black Flag, According to Its Director, And "Very Quickly" Wanted to Do "Someting People Had Not Experienced Before."I Guess the Traveled a Year Forward in Time to Learn ABOUT THE LEAK FIRST PIC.Twitter.COM/8216L1BT9D
