On Monday morning I said publishers were going to embrace "live services" as their new flavor in 2018.

That afternoon, Ubisoft told its investors how "live services" are their new flavor in 2018. In fact, they seem disinterested in games entirely... at least as we know them.

Like clockwork, folks. These companies can be predicted like clockwork.
