Hey gotta go record an episode of Archer and then an episode of my podcast. Will reply more tonight. In the meantime, it looks like this thread is about to be long enough to stretch the length of Oprah's lawn, so I will admit to tasting a little penny-twinge of regret.
Regardless, will return later to respond to more questions.
Remember that I am not a game dev or coder and I don't, as a rule, sit in on Ubisoft all-hands meetings so don't be asking me shit you already know I can't answer.
Oh, and for the record, I play Xbox 360/One and PS3/4 games. No Wii. No Wii U. No handhelds. I'm sure there's other shit. I don't play them. I used to be a PC gamer but that was a lifetime ago (like Myst/Riven ago).
I am a console gamer almost exclusively, but occasionally indulge in iPad games. Latest are TWD Season 2, Monument Valley, and PvZ which I am currently furious at and so have stopped playing, mainly because PopCap has devoured my retirement fund.
My husband plays Minecraft. I don't understand it, but I support him fully. Because that is the kind of spouse that I am.
