Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot has confirmed that XDefiant has fallen behind expectations amid company struggles.

This week, the news that XDefiant is struggling went somewhat under the radar following what is arguably one of Ubisoft’s most challenging periods in recent memory.

As part of these major announcements, Ubisoft held a Trading Call Update, during which Guillemot answered questions about why the company had reduced its second-quarter revenue expectations by 30%.

During the beta, we were told it would be fixed. The game was delayed for that reason, but when it finally launched, nothing changed. They promised it would be sorted in the first big patch, but again, nothing happened. Now, even with the arrival of Season 2 (spoiler alert), the issue still hasn’t been addressed.

It’s hard to justify spending time on a game that’s so frustrating, especially when the developers don’t seem to prioritize fixing it. New content doesn’t matter if the core gameplay is still broken.
 
Wow well no shit.

Trash engine, trash net code, mediocre maps, devs who refuse to listen to feedback not from famous YouTubers.
They did this to themselves dawg lmao
