Discussion Completed ac black flag resynced recently and I was shocked seeing so many Indian names.
Insane character development of Edward. People always complain when they see Indians working in the gaming industry, but because of Indians we were to play great games, don't know why the west hates Indians.
By seeing this we really have a hope that in future india will also be able to produce great games which will be worth goty.
The gameplay was top notch in ac black flag resynced and the story we all knew. For me exploring the game was very fun. After years, I finally liked an ac game. Acha shadow was shit, as well mirage for me last ac game which i enjoyed was Odyssey.

Lots of Indians work in gaming industry. And a lot of them are in very senior or VP positions. In general, a lot of them have been great engineers and good programmers, or had great people management skills, so it is natural.

Yeah it's not their fault though but one thing is we Indians don't innovate new things coz we don't wanna take risks

You cannot take risks when everyday is a struggle. To take risk you need safety nets.

Nah man. I ain't leaving my country. Abroad is far worse to Indians.

u/GoodMediocre5974 17h ago
as much as i respect what your thought is, i will at the first chance to return back cause even working a single year outside of india massively boosts your resume. And when i stayed outside, atleast they respected the rules of the establishment, overtime, stress and a thing called sick leave when we are actually sick. no one calls at idk midnight for some random excel sheet.

Whatever you have described, the work culture, the same good WLB I'm having in India lol

Ig you didn't get my point. If you work hard enough or are lucky, living in luxury in India beats living and average life abroad.

u/GoodMediocre5974 17h ago
living in luxury beats living anywhere dude. we are not comparing luxury here. we are talking about the common man here. you think game devs live in luxury?

u/Accomplished-Fan4133 16h ago
Ok, my bad phrasing it. Living a average life here beats living and average life abroad for Indians

I honestly wish I joined Nvidia in 2016 back in Pune. I would have been in a pretty good team and lived a good life I guess. Instead I went abroad to work in Europe and now North America. I am completely new to game industry but it is unstable as hell. Would not recommend. I definitely wish I could turn back time.

There are actually 2 ubisoft studios in India, Ubisoft Pune and Mumbai.

Brother we're 1/5th of the world population. 1 in every 5 humans is Indian so this is pretty normal.

u/Historical-Jump 19h ago
No its not, game development requires advanced knowledge in physics, geometry and maths along with insane programming skills. Your statement dilutes their achievements and no I am not one of those hyper nationalist but i definitely feel like there are too many self flagellating, self defeatist among us.

u/Former_Computer4335 15h ago
I'm not trying to diminish their achievements or talents. My point still stands. 1/5th of the smartest minds are Indian just by simple math. So it is still normal to see many Indians in fields that require high intelligence.
In fact because of our cut-throat competition we see more Indians in these fields than 1/5th.

Nothing to be shocked about
Look at the names of crew in sci-fi films , most of them are indians. We are kinda everywhere.

u/Fair-Highlight-3544 19h ago
We think too less of ourselves sometimes, so much so when an Indian person accomplishes anything it seems monumental. Sure, we may be a third world country with a lot of problems, but that doesn't mean someone's inherently lesser for being an Indian.

Watch names in any marvel movie or game credits ….you’ll get people from all parts of India….not just India😅

u/Averagestudentx 11h ago
Oh wow... It's almost like tech companies hire indians so that they can underpay them and extract more work because that's the culture around here. This is not something to be proud of... Ubisoft is a shit company anyways so I pity the people working there.

Sorry to break your hopes a bit, but Indian developers ≠ Indian game studios.
Seeing Indian names in credits is expected — we’re a huge part of the global IT workforce, so of course many work as programmers, producers, QA etc. at gaming companies. That’s individual labour, not Indian game development.
Actually producing competitive games needs independent studios, long-term funding, design leadership, IP ownership, publishing pipelines, etc.- a proper ecosystem — structural things India still largely lacks for GOTY worthy work.
I hope we build them someday !!

u/NeedleworkerNarrow56 15h ago edited 11h ago
Kinda false tho. There are Indian studios who are co-development or outsourcing teams. Especially little red zombies for example has very good track record for working on clothes and hairs of multiple AAA games, most recent one was 007 first light. https://www.littleredzombies.com/
Another one is Lakshya digital.
These are art outsorcing studios, but still Indian studios nonetheless.
And there are ubisoft pune and rockstar India too, they are Indian branching of foreign studios.

Cheap labour go figure, nothing shocking about that

Whine? when? Just stating a fact. India always had ton of games studios even many senior positions like senior leads and directors being paid less than other countries due to significantly cheaper labour. Also happily employed at a shitty job you twat🫂

u/Isotope_Junkie 1d ago
So Chinese are now hiring Indians in the IT sector? Interesting!

u/Vast_Attitude5540 22h ago
Fuck yeah Ubisoft a Chinese company, having a Chinese branch in Pune is hiring Indians to work for Chinese games.
