And the news just goes from bad to worse -- it does look like the Ubisoft is truly circling the drain... Loyal Fans, a gigantic market, amazing IP, and enormously talented Studios burned to the ground for over a decade... This last point -- what Ubisoft did to its Studios especially demonstrates just how completely the Publisher burned its bridges.  A Publisher that micro-manages Studio development where previously enormously successful and popular IP was made without that oversight and micro-management, and it gets so bad key and even lead talent that built those Studios and their IP leave, after repeated demonstrations of poorer and poorer sales, bad reviews etc. -- is no different than if a Print Press Publisher were to micro-manage what an Author writes... Can anyone imagine if Penguin, Random House, or Sphere were to have told Tom Clancy, "The story line is okay, but we want all the main characters to be trans circus clowns and drag queens...and we don't want any realistic depictions of conflict, we want cartoon depictions that are humorous, and we'll have our Ghostwriter do it for you..."? And they did this after Tom Clancy and written his third best seller... Would that work? This is not to suggest there isn't a valid market for whatever it is a Publisher might want, or in the case of Ubisoft prefer and to develop alternative IP that targets that market or idea -- but to to so completely subvert and obviate Studios and talent that have demonstrated they understand their genre, market and audience as well as Red Storm and Massive Entertainment did (and studios like Grin and Crytek that worked so hard and were just getting there) -- is beyond appalling... That Ubisoft did this, relentlessly, across its entire Studios portfolio & IP stack, in the face of decades of enormous Fan & Review criticism, tanking sales, -- shouldn't make any of the current outcomes a shock or surprise to anyone. Hopefully, the IP will be acquired by a party or parties that understand the enormous squandered  potential, and/or will put someone in charge that does as there remains an enormous hole in the Tactical Realism and Stealth gaming market that hasn't been filled filled with competent 'AAA' titles for over a decade...    

Happy Birthday John T Sonedecker 

I'm having a huge Ghost Recon memorabilia clear-out of all my GR related stuff gathered over the years. Starting with this unused 80cm GRAW2 poster. I also found a bunch of unused R6 Vegas posters. Any fans out there keen on these, get in touch.    

Good post ajitesh. I've not heard from Apex for a long time now. Hope he is doing okay.

We know the newer update didnt happen nor we saw apex mods online again in the forum. Wish that hard drive didnt break we would have seen probably best work of apex mods. Regardless Heroes Unleashed will always be forever best mod in all the games i played or will play hands down🙌. Do have to mention with recent ghost recon league that happened 2 months ago there were more than 70+ former GR players coming back again it was good tournament with 50+ matches over 7 teams. For the next tournament if it happens again i do actually have plans of tournament with smaller HU version fingers crossed. Do have to tell as long as our discord is going well for sure ghost recon will be alive and kicking as always, we will probably play for another 2 decades haha what a classic!! Apex mods just didn't make a mod its about perseverance of continuing to make a mod to respect all the great GR modders and serving the GR community. In  our discord i see once in a while people asking is everthing ok with apex mods. Thanks to rocky for letting us know he is doing well. Over the years when i saw many people's astonishing reaction to one man behind development of HU for decades its insane. You are truly an inspiration for many apexmods and ofc my idol . Thank you so much man for your amazing work.  ~Turtle
