It's financial reporting and investor call season, and gaming industry stalwart Ubisoft has some bombs to drop. But while at least one analyst at the company wants to get in front of any fires, can a significant publisher announcing it's going to focus more on "free-to-play" titles be read as anything other than major news?

It may not be the Creed of an Assassin, but good Watch Dogs know it's a Far Cry from an empty change...in Virtual Legality.
