Den kreative top blev i sidste uge fjernet fra Rainbow 6 Patriots. Det fik mange spillere til at frygte, at den interessante historiemæssige retning nu ville lide et alvorligt knæk. GameInformer har snakket med Ubisoft Montreal CEO Yannis Mallat. Ifølge Mallat er visionen dog stadig intakt, der sker ikke store ændringer i tilgangen til den spændende fortælling, hvor vi både følger terroristerne, ofrene og Rainbow-holdet. Den tidligere Creative Director David Sears er blevet forflyttet til et nyt og endnu uannonceret stort Ubisoft-projekt. Han bakker Mallat op, og siger, at Rainbow 6 Patriots stadig er på helt rette spor:

I’ve watched the forum comments, and one of the things that’s really important for everyone to understand is senior management and the editorial group challenged me to create something plausible, relevant, and that touches on the current fears of the U.S. citizens to the point that I was almost surprised myself we were taking these creative risks. They are still behind it. I spent time working on it because I love it, but there comes a point where you give the vision to everybody and they embrace it and start telling me what the vision is now. – David Sears via GameInformer
