Ubisoft has released a little easter egg in their website, where when you click on the ‘Updates’ tab, then click on the little snowman on the left, there is a download request for a program called ‘M3rry Ch1stm4s.exe’. Once you’ve installed it, there will be a Frosty the Snowman icon on your desktop. After you click it, there will be a membership generator code for Ubisoft’s previously hidden upcoming MMO called ‘Rangers’. It is currently in BETA, but some of our top coders have found a little bit of code hidden in the website’s coding; //intialize entity 'CIA Director'. Our coders think that they’re planning a spy MMO. We’re currently bombarding the Ubisoft spokesman for answers.

Ubisoft HQ
(Cazran Patmore’s P.O.V)
*AS I walk down the ‘Hall of Fame’ corridor, I hear strange voices coming from around the corner. I quickly take cover next to the yellow-painted wall and peek around. I see a strange, albino man wearing a bullet-proof kevlar vest and holding a rifle. I quickly but quietly sprint towards the end of the corridor, towards my secret room. As the footsteps near me, I quickly dodge behind a large fern in a mosaic pot. The footfalls are clearly getting louder, but as I get ready for the fight of my life, they fade, as does the man - he melts into the shadows. *Bep, Bep, Bep *The lights go out. Then it hits me, Ubisoft is under siege. I then reach into my left coat pocket and snatch my own, personal walkie-talkie. I desperately clutch the device. NO SIGNAL. It reads. I curse and steadily reach for my small flimsy army knife. I begin my trip to the Security Room, to try and alert them, to try and protect them, to try and save Ubisoft… *

PRESS RELEASE-
The first alpha key giveaway day for LoonTown made 20 keys be given to new alpha testers, including Slate Green Mouse. The game’s next contest is 10 on the main and a 10 key side contest with Loontown Plaza. Also, while people aren’t being attacked by Gears yet, they saw a few walking around with “no purpose,” as they said. There will be Moneybots, Leaderbots, Buybots and Rulebots.
With sadness, Evan Havvid, has announced the closing of Pixel Gaming Studios, however they have released their game for free. Here is the press conference:
(( LIVE ))
Evan: It pains me to say this, but I must close PGS. We are not getting enough money from Myst, and it is costing too much to keep it up and to keep developing games at the same time. Maybe we’ll be able to do something like this again, in the future.
Reporter: What about bit? Will it still be released?
Evan: Bit will be free for all users to download and play on Steam. Multiplayer has been implemented, but we were hoping to keep it a surprise for when we launch.
Reporter: Will this be the last we’ll see of you, Evan?
Evan: Hopefully not. The building is empty currently, but I and a few others will be there for about a week or two for more people to visit.
((EVAN’S POV))
"“The Press conference is now over. Thank you for your time.”" As I walk inside of the building, I hear a beep. Kinda the sound of something like when a remote is being tapped, and a small beep comes out of it to signal that something has changed on the TV, or in the movie you’re watching, or in a game. Flames bursted into my face, as a chunk of rubble landed on my legs, I watched as my building was destroyed and a black figure was running from the remains of what was PGS’s headquarters.
((BACK TO THE NEWS CHANNEL))
BREAKING NEWS! PGS’s headquarters has been… blown up!? This seems to be trending, starting with IG, and has been moving on to a few more smaller and bigger gaming companies! There are no reports on anyone exiting the building. Could this be the end of Evan Havvid?
(( Restarting with a new company, I didn’t like PGS very much. ))
(But the person above me had 2112?)
2/1/2113
PRESS RELEASE-
It appears labels were wrong on dates. It started the first day of 2113. With that being said, day 2 of alpha key giveaway was just as successful. The date of the end will now be January 22nd.
NEXT DAY-
Yet another explosion hit Cloudware, this time with Skinny McOdor still working on a code, with everyone else on break! McOdor is in the hospital, and the HQ is destroyed. But everyone besides McOdor was in the underground break room. McOdor reported seeing someone leaving the studio wearing a mask. At least the game was so rough in progress the name wasn’t even out yet! No progress was lost besides a tiny bit of LT progress.

PRESS RELEASE-
The one that blew up Cloudware for the second time was in fact an ex-employee of PGS! The owner of Cloudware had him locked up in the same cell as the last guy, and even got him to repair the studio by himself first. To keep from this disaster happening again, the owner also had him build a second office. The first one was in NYC, and this one is from California. The Alpha Keys up until now were lost. It will now last until the end of January.
Socail Media post: I would like to offer my sincere condolences to those effected in the wake of these bombings, This is an entertainment industry, we shouldn’t be bombing eachother, we should be working hard to make great entertaining, games that make people laugh, cry, think, I wish I could do more than post these words, But at the moment I am doing what I can inbetween projects, and contracts, I wish everyone a happy remaining of the year, Lets end this cycle of violence, and get back to what we love, games
