It isn't as romantic as you make it out to be. Weird right? They also make those employees re-apply to get on new projects and will often "clear house" from that "vacation". If you think that Ubisoft isn't benefiting from tax breaks and the like as well then you are just purposefully blinding yourself. The article I linked to also talks about the tax breaks they get and benefit from. Everyone always tries to crap all over Activision Blizzard (or just Blizzard) but it isn't any different then what other companies and game studios do.
Also lol at your "shafting the community" bit. How has Activision Blizzard shafted the community with any of their layoffs?
