"With Unity less than two weeks away, I thought now would be a great time to pay tribute to Patrice Désilets, the man who made this franchise happen.
In the mid 2000s, when Desiléts was tasked with creating a reboot of Prince of Persia he ended up making something entirely different. This game came to be known as "Assassin's Creed". Désilets was enamored with his creation and laid out his vision for the franchise rather quickly.
The first and second games in the series followed this vision entirely, but what followed was a big departue. Since the beginning Désilets had intended the series to be a trilogy. Assassin's Creed II would be followed directly by Assassin's Creed III. This final game in the series' current arc would focus almost entirely on Desmond as a full blown Assassin, something many fans had been calling for.
However, the higher-ups at Ubisoft had something different in mind. They made the decision to make the series an annualized franchise. Désilets wasn't having it, and left the company out of spite in 2010. He then started working at THQ, where he would be making a new project. It would have become a spiritual successor to Assassin's Creed, titled "1666".
Unfortunately, THQ went under and Patrice, his team and game were picked up by Ubisoft. After just a couple of months, they fired him and kept his project, presumably either throwing it away or absorbing it into AC. Tl;dr: Ubisoft's biggest "crime" has nothing to do with resolutions. Patrice Désilets is the real MVP, and deserves much more respect."
From /u/UsedUserName1 [1] in /r/assassinscreed[2] .
EDIT:Some more info on him being fired By /u/PartyPoison98 [3] :
On May 07, 2013, Désilets again left Ubisoft. When asked why, Désilets replied, "Contrary to any statements made earlier today, this morning I was terminated by Ubisoft. I was notified of this termination in person, handed a termination notice and was unceremoniously escorted out of the building by two guards without being able to say goodbye to my team or collect my personal belongings. This was not my decision. Ubisoft's actions are baseless and without merit. I intend to fight Ubisoft vigorously for my rights, for my team and for my game."

thats fucking hilarious 

[Albatross]

I'm sorry...but this is pretty hilarious.  It is exactly them fucking with Hideo. :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sad that they could do it though.

[Misanthrope]

I'm pretty sure Konami just basically surpassed Ubisoft in the "What the fuck why not just burn your fucking money instead" category here. 

[Ekpyrosis]

Some companies really hate free promotion.

[SPG]

I hope everyone enjoys the last decent konami game, because none will exist from here on out aside from shovelware
way to kill yourself konami, way to go

[Kinda Bottlenecked]

Seriously?

 

[TroubleKlef]

wowoowowowoww. This is really taking it to the next level.

[Misanthrope]

Actually no, they don't deserve the money. I hope nobody gets it, I sure as fucking shit I'm not buying at all during retail price and honestly, probably never unless is like given away in a humble bundle with other shit and even then I'd give away the key on twitter or something.

 

The only way to kill this behavior is to send a strong message: GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE GAMING INDUSTRY KONAMI. And never fucking return, go rot in casino machine hell.

[crystal6tak]

I truly hope this Konami fucking with Kojima issue will be lived down in history. Which in turn leads to people boycotting or pirating Konami's future games even if they are good.

[Bouzoo]

I can't even. You're not helping yourself Konami.

[Misanthrope]

I truly hope this Konami fucking with Kojima issue will be lived down in history. Which in turn leads to people boycotting or pirating Konami's future games even if they are good.

At this rate they have no gaming future.

get off your high horse and just appreciate the fact kojima threw a shit load of love in it. Play it for him and dont give a shit about konami in the process. Its an excellent game, and a shitty company wont stop me because I'm not doing it for them. (besides I got the game from a friend anyways)

everything after the fact dont buy because it will be garbage anyways, this is their last good game and you damn well know that

[zacRupnow]

How does a copyright claim go through on a fan made pic? Do claims really not get verified before going through!?

Also Ubisoft is now only the 2nd Worst Company in gaming.

[Lethal Seraph]

Keep on diggin.

#FUCKONAMI

[Nexxus]

Seriously Konami, eat a dick. You are not making it easy for me to enjoy MGS5 knowing I gave you cunts money for it.

[shirokado]

Boycotting is okay. Pirating is not, it's never okay. Pirates are worse than stupid companies.

[ICantThinkOfAnyGoodName]

Fan made pics are free advertising for them. Also they don't have the copyright on the fan made pic.

Kojima probably won't see a fucking dime of it, if you really think that wait for him to do something else on Kickstart he probably will.

It doesn't: They actually had someone check on him and manually claimed it.

[ADM-Ntek]

to be honest this is exactly what i expect from Japanes company's. 

[6God]

Boycotting is okay. Pirating is not, it's never okay. Pirates are worse than stupid companies.

 

Pirates who say they're pirating because of a companies bad decision were going to pirate the game anyways, they just needed some BS justification to make piracy look alright.

"I was going to buy AC:U but Ubisoft was digging so I won't" I'm sick of hearing that.
