According to Ubisoft, co-founder Yves shared his visionary outlines for the whole industry in the Game Makers podcast. According to him, his brothers have been longing to create and distribute unique titles to the public.
"That's what we wanted to do. But even at that time, it was costly to create games," Guillemot said.
