Ubisoft has been hacked !

Zombi U is great, one of the few Wii U games to incorporate interesting and meaningful second-screen gameplay. Reminds me that there was once such a thing as an innovative Ubisoft.
Ubisoft at some point really tried to support Wii consoles with their third party releases. They got burned with ZombiU though and canned the plans for a sequel. And the port for last-gen consoles didn't play well with traditional controls and focus on scanning absolutely everything (kinda like RE Revelations 1 but it wasn't that annoying in Resi).
 
I'd like to see a staff picture of the Ubisoft INFOSEC CYBER department. Please, if someone can dig it up. I've got a theory based on some of the details I've read.
 
Would be kind of interesting to learn when they changed Outlaws from a Han Solo game to Soccer Mom in space.

Or whether they realised they had a Sonic's teeth situation when they revealed Beast Mode as the face of Ass Creed Japan.

People really learnt nothing from Jurassic Park.
On the contrary, I think the hackers here learned "it's a Unix system, I know this!" pretty well.

(Fun fact for the uninitiated, what's shown on the screen during that scene is, in fact, Unix. Or Irix, and it's "3D file browser", to be specific. Yes, it was a gimmick, but SGI was all about 3D at that time.)

This is a smorgasbord of errors. Not just one single error. The crown jewel, if true, is storing the source code for all the beloved Ubi titles in a web facing mongo database.
 
Open-source Anvil and Snowdrop forks will be nice. I've been playing a lot of Division 2 lately and it totally holds up and runs like butter. No reason games have to look better than that either. I mean Ubi isn't using them for anything pressing at the moment.

Maybe it wasn't web facing but an insider, ie these Indian help desk people. I have my doubts about that though, seems to on the nose.
 
There are few gaming companies I am less interested about leaks from, but I do thoroughly enjoy the absolute shambles of all this. It hits the spot.
