Thank you for your service

 

[eyesabitdull]

Thank god.

Now he can go off and do other great things with the talent that he has.

I'm excited to see where he lands.

Good luck. At least, he washed his hand from AC Infinity.

the iconography of the series has always been one of the high points, remarkable and immediately memorable. Curious to see his next work.

They told him:

Ubisoft higher ups: "Moving forward we don't really have time for "art" anymore, its just going to be whiteboxes at launch and we'll rely on users to create mods that add the textures, etc. That coo?"

Raphael Lacoste: *already driving away in his car*

Interesting that he joined Jade studio, even tho i'm not excited about that GaaS, but maybe there is a chance it would be something cool
