Well, potentially it's a shot across the bow at Ubi for killing GRID, and
the first draft title was "Stop being dicks" directly aimed at the
Guillemots. Like that would change anything. It's been revealed that the
entire company was being run by unrestrained BDE.

But Ubi is a member, so the point may have already been made. There's
definitely some kind of carrot in there for them to have joined the
coalition.
