Over the years Ubisoft has become the laughing stock of videogames like Ea. After 11 prince of Persias, 17 assassin's creed, and 12 far crys the company clearly is missing a intellectual property division. Aside from the fact most of these game are copy/pasted versions of themselves on new maps, the company also has a disturbing amount of movie and tv show games. Lucky for Ubisoft they did pick up a few winners in 2017 but thats the community standards not mine. 馃槀Ubisoft turned South park into a possible game of the year while turning starwars into a pile of shit. I have little to no confidences in the ubi devs and I certainly won't be buying a ubicoin anytime soon.
I highly recommend other higher quality video game companies like rockstar, CD project red, square enx, and Bethesda.
Thanks for reading!

Ubisoft, a gaming manufacturer, is exploring blockchain technology as it looks beyond gaming for future possibilities, Lidwine Sauer, director of insights and trends for the lab, told IGN ahead of her DICE 2018 speech to explain the company鈥檚 strategic innovation lab鈥檚 focuses going forward.
The lab analyzes trends in how the world interacts with technology and seeks ways of applying them to Ubisoft.
Blockchain鈥檚 Uniqueness
Blockchain offers the chance to have real digital collectibles that cannot be replicated, Sauer said. The techology allows the equivalent of a digital Picasso, she said, with the advantage that it鈥檚 a lot harder to steal something on the blockchain than a Picasso.
The blockchain permits digital items to be one-of-a-kind as opposed to one of an untold number of reproductions of a digital product, she said. The most immediate idea for gaming is for unique, one-off pieces of DLC, which is only one possible application.
Sauer believes there is something even more interesting to find through blockchain that the company wants to discover.

Research Expands
The lab鈥檚 research has extended from AI changes and the blockchain to cryptocurrency as well as the blending of the physical and digital. As an example, she cited Ubisoft Toronto鈥檚 Starlink: Battle for Atlas, allowing players to create a starship in real-life and see their ship change in real-time in the game.
Ubisoft asks itself if a trend creates an opportunity for innovation and the creation of new games and services, she said.
She cited last year鈥檚 Star Trek: Bridge Crew as an example of AI voice command capabilities, in addition to the recently introduced Sam, Ubisoft鈥檚 personal gaming interface that the Ubisoft Club app introduced to beta.
