Nice OP, great game. Too bad mainstream games journalism websites seem to be giving it some pretty average scores - I hope that doesn't affect the sale numbers (and the chances of a Might and Magic XI) too much. It's a niche game, true, but a very good one. Surprising, too, giving that it wasn't made by Jon van Caneghem.

So I guess Ubisoft is pulling out? I'd expected another patch or DLC at least

It does sound like they're pulling out, yeah. I remember reading about their new corporate strategy (it was some NeoGaf thread I think), and from what I can recall, it basically amounted to "churn out games as fast as possible, move on to the next one(s) as soon as possible". So this isn't too surprising in light of that.

The question is, how well did MMX sell and how well was it expected to sell to be counted as a success for Ubisoft? I guess we'll never know the answer to this one.
