Is Ubisoft lying about ZombiU?

i've been looking at the original article. It is very suspicious. If you read carefully, the author neither directly quotes Guillemont nor does he provide the source.

all it says is this:

Yves Guillemot, Chairman and CEO of Ubisoft, is typically one of the biggest proponents of new systems, but betting big on the Wii U didn't work out well for the company. ZombiU, one of the most popular launch titles for the system with players, was not profitable, he says. Not even close. As such, he says, there are no plans (or even desire) for a sequel.

As you can see, it is not a direct quote from yves. Just a paragraph written by the author

I've been following Wii U news carefully because i run a blog. I cannot recount Yves saying this. There is evidence the writer is making bullshit and just assuming there won't be a sequel.

The developer of ZombiU has confirmed there are working on a prototypye in May, not too long ago. I checked my blog history and i found the article in the archives. Now tell me, if yves had no desire for a sequel then why make a protoype.

Something very sus. Very sus

Not suspicious in the least. It's called paraphrasing, and the fact that lines quoted from Yves that so far as I know have yet to be published elsewhere are present indicates that they conducted the interview themselves, and simply trimmed it down to accomodate a larger article.

Alternatively, if you truly think that this article, which has been reported literally everywhere this past week, contains  incorrect information regarding one of their IPs, where is Ubisoft's denial?

Lol. sorry but no. A publisher wouldnt bother if they only got $20 for every $60 game sold. They would get more like 45-50. because they are the ones fronting the money to make it possible. Lol that really is cute though.

$20 is about right. Welcome to retail.

As far as Ubisoft lying, the answer is almost certainly no.
