Ubisoft says Rayman Legends developer protest was a misunderstanding, didn't really happen
Coming from Emile Morel, Rayman Legends’ lead game designer...
“As for the protest about the delay, it actually never happened, it’s a funny story and in the end a big misunderstanding. A few days after the announcement of the delay, one morning two Rayman fans came by the studio with a funny banner to protest about the delay in a nice and humoristic way. We’re not used to have fans coming by the studio, so some members of the team took pictures with them to be nice and friendly.
We spent some time talking with them and once they left I remember someone in the team asking: ‘Did we tell them not to put these pictures online?’ The answer was ‘no’ and two hours later these pictures were everywhere and people started to think that the whole team was protesting about the delay. In the end, no harm was done, and this gives us a funny story to tell!”
I find it very hard to believe that no one on the team managed to tell these guys that they shouldn't post the pics online. They all work in the game industry and know how gamers are. I find it a little too convenient that they didn't say anything.
