As if the game's development process hadn't been any more of a farce.

Is this game ever going to come out? If it does, I'm 99% certain it will suck because of development hell.

And this seems to be Ubisoft's second game currently in development hell, alongside Beyond Good and Evil 2.

Can't remember the source (possibly Jeff Gerstman at Giantbomb) but I'm absolutely certain they said this was a tax write-off or something.

If that was said, it was likely purely a joke. You don't fund a game for a tax write-off. You only get 10% of what you put into the game as a tax write-off and so you are operating at a 90% loss on whatever you put into it.

Ahh, that's more understandable.

They’re trying to milk our subsidies.

If/when this game releases I'm looking forward to the videos and articles charting the troubled development cycle from start to finish. At this point, there has to be a lot of material there.
