As reported by Bloomberg Law (Thanks, VGC), the class action complaint reveals that the publisher of some of the most popular gaming franchises still active today has been sharing personally identifiable information with Meta every time a user purchases a game on the Ubisoft Store or subscribes to its + service via the Pixel user tracking software, which isn't disclosed in any way.

In a statement released on Monday, Ubisoft said that they "regularly reviews all its strategic options in the interest of its stakeholders and will inform […]
The long-rumored remake of Assassin's Creed Black Flag may be closer than we thought. That's what insider Tom Henderson has shared in his latest report published on Insider Gaming. Henderson admitted to having believed that this project was still some time off in the future.

That was before the recent delay of Assassin's Creed Shadows, though; Henderson also saw an internal Ubisoft email […]
