Without a doubt, RSE is a one-horse wonder, which is probably why Tom Clancy decided to get out when he did. That is severely different from the situation which previously existed with the four previous owners of Red Storm, in that UbiSoft can now choose to do as they like with the firm because there are no stock control issues. But the point is, unless Red Storm can come out with another truly successful product, beyond the Rainbow Six series, RSE will not likely be around five years from today. My other concern revolves around UbiSoft's current product line and their focus on console games.
Console games are interesting because they always seem to come in waves.
That is, since the technology can't be upgraded at the pace of computers, console systems come and go every three years. Next year will be one of those peak years, and so UbiSoft is aiming square at the console market, and you'll see that in a ton of RSE ports to console platforms, especially the X-Box. First of all, Urban Operations has YET to be distributed into the European market, something I think has a lot to do with the UbiSoft acquisition. I'm speculating, but I'm thinking that UbiSoft was interested in getting the rights to distribute both Urban Ops and Covert Ops. Distribution does pay well.
