Ubi is pretty big so I doubt it but they could totally fuck this up even more.

The article hinted that it was announced too soon and I'd bet the usual development woes are also playing a part

Seems like it's common practice when studios receive subsidies. It's just most of the time they either don't run into huge issues like this so no one knows about it, or the contracts are very poorly written and they get out of it when they cancel.

True but it doesn't seem like this game is being rushed. More like completely mismanaged (like Cyberpunk).
