Their official statement: https://www.ubisoft.com/xdefiant-our-message-to-players
Fascinating how they have repeatedly gone belly up on multiple big projects lately and with the new assassins creed basically DOA it seems like Ubisoft will be the first major to go under. Sadly with as pozzed as gaming is I bet Sony will either buy them outright or keep them alive.
The problem with Siege is that its players are famously too toxic to actually get anyone to play the game, on a level with League.
Both on a "kick you for playing one iota wrong" level and a "ban you for not respecting the Tranny Operator's pronouns" one.
