Why would we have asked that? Ubisoft doesn't make classic cRPG's.
Well, no they don't…they're largely publishers and distributors rather than developers.
Having said that, they do have one semi-classically inspired RPG in their publishing history - Ruins of Myth Drannor, so the genre isn't exactly something they've had nothing to do with previously. Perhaps this experience burned them somewhat, I don't rightly know…
I just thought that it would be interesting to hear JVC reflect on why he thinks Ubisoft has neglected a serious part of the name brand that they purchased.
I mean, it just doesn't make any sense from this fan's admittedly subjective point of view. (Business pragmatism and all that, ok, baloney!)
You only have to go to the official Might and Magic website these days and it's all Heroes this and Dark Messiah that - nary a classic Might and Magic thread in sight.
Thinking aloud: Did Dark Messiah do well enough that Ubisoft would consider a partnership with Arkane again? Given Kickstarter's success rates with reasonably well known studios and projects thus far, surely they'd have a good chance of getting a new Might and Magic off the ground.
