For nylig skrev vi om at Assassin's Creed franchise-chef, Marc-Alexis Côté, havde forladt Ubisoft efter mange, mange år, men på daværende tidspunkt blev det hele slået op som værende frivilligt fra hans side - men det er måske ikke helt rigtigt.
Faktisk skrev Vantage Studios-cheferne, Charlie Guillemot og Christophe Derennes, i en email til andre Ubisoft-ansatte, at Côté havde fået tilbudt en rolle i den nye konstellation, men havde takket nej.
Men sådan er det det altså ikke, Guillemot og Derennes beskyldes direkte for at lyve. I et opslag på LinkedIn (via VGC) siger Côté dette:
"From the messages of colleagues, friends, and fans, a recurring theme has emerged that I feel the need to clarify. Many of you have expressed surprise that I would choose to leave Assassin's Creed after so many years, especially given the passion I still hold for it. The truth is simple: I did not make that choice. Ubisoft decided to transfer the leadership of the Assassin's Creed franchise to someone closer to its new organizational structure. A different position was mentioned, but it did not carry the same scope, mandate, or continuity with the work I had been entrusted with in recent years."
Så han fik tilbud et nyt job, ja, men et ret anderledes job under helt anderledes forudsætninger.
