Ubisoft is one of the largest game developers in the business, ranking third in among independents, only behind Electronic Arts and Activision. And it's easy to see why they would be so large considering that they are behind several pivotal and beloved franchises like: Assassin's Creed, Ghost Recon, Watch Dogs, Far Cry, Splinter Cell & Rainbow Six.
