Can Ubisoft Win By Going Backwards? Xbox's Ad Future, and Ranking the Best Star Wars Games Ever
This week on Player Driven Live, we dug into three conversations that kept pulling us in different directions — Ubisoft's remake strategy and what it means for one of gaming's biggest franchises, whether Xbox should build an ad-supported free tier, and a May the 4th-inspired ranking of the best Star Wars games in history. We also talked indie games, Subnautica 2's questionable launch window, and why someone grinding on a souls-like after their day job reminded us both of something important about how games actually get made.
