Ubisoft would not continue making the games if there was no money in them. SH5 even with poor sales will probbaly make a reasonable profit. Do remember that dev costs in Romania are very cheap compared to the same costs in Western Europe or US/Canada.
A 1 or 2 million dollar budget in Romania will buy you alot of devs and artists.
So the idea that Ubi are doing us all some favour by producing a loss making game is typical corporate pr bunk.
