Someone's got to be short selling the stocks or something. The board must be trying to do some kind of behind closed doors GameStop-gate or whatever it was called all over again
I’m already ahead of you. I swore off Ubisoft a long time ago when the abuse allegations came out and was swept under the rug. Considering the mostly mediocre-at-best crap that was released since then, it seems that I wasn’t missing much.
5 years ago, some Ubisoft executives made some really really bad bets, and we're only just now seeing how those paid off. A company this large is like a train. It takes forever to stop, let alone change direction. There's nothing to do now but watch as it crashes.
"Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles" is probably one of the most generic names I've ever heard. Like if I saw something with a name like that I'd immediately think its some garbage mobile auto-battler
Sounds like something a tired dead eyed content creator is forced to cut to for today's sponsor. Champion Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles is the best game on mobile! It features award winning graphics and presentation. Superb and intricate storytelling. A nuanced tactical RPG combat system, and the NFTs are 100 percent worth it. Use my link to get 100 free Champion Grimoria bucks!
At this point im not even mad or disspointed, just baffled on how the idiots on top got where they are. You have to be either totally desperate or totally oblivious to think that this is a good idea.
Knowing Ubisoft, it’s the latter. This is the same company that made Skull & Bones but didn’t want to make a carbon copy of Black Flag without the Assassin’ Creed when that is EXACTLY what people wanted…
It ticks all the boxes of any NFT-centered scam game I've seen: an ambiguous trailer that doesn't show any gameplay, with a small percentage of it actually looking like proper production. The rest looks cheap as hell, with an unsightly visual style to make the NFT assets seem more "physical", a super non-indicative title that sounds like an AI glitched out, and just putting up something for 5 figures or more with the utterly unfounded claim that it's actually worth that much. But it fits Ubisoft like a goddamn glove: they'd sooner become actual scammers than show an ounce of respect to their target audience - and I don't mean the Bigfoot-tier "mOdErN aUdIeNcE".
*Meanwhile at Ubisoft HQ* Employees: "Sir out stock is falling faster than racing car, our recent games all flop like fish out of water, what do we do!?!?" CEO: "NFT game" Employees: ".....can you tell me again why did they hire you?"
The fact that it doesn't work is hilarious. Hey, let's spend $60k on a single digital thingy-a-bob and have the game crash before it can even get to the title screen. Just high tier development from the Ubisoft.
Was this game supposed to drop like 3 years ago?? It just makes no sense I could walk into that studio and tell them exactly what they are doing wrong with everything. It’s actually madness how out of touch and greedy a company can be.
Whoever the decision makers is at ubisoft, they learn bussiness by looking at stonk meme for a decade. Someone who understand the most basic bussiness know that you don't sell something that nobody wants.
Yeah nobody wanted a monetized free to play game, but Fortnite is one of the biggest most played live service games. Some times selling what players don’t want can create demand. But an nft game is pretty obvious, nobody wants that.
@@SpliffyHuskand initially fortnite was actually a story driven semi-open world looter shooter that had a battle royal tacked onto it. Even they weren't really trying to sell that because they didnt think it was worth it. They tried something small, it did way better than expected and they capitalised on that. Solid business strategy right there.
@@kempolar9768 worth noting too that the original “Save The World” game is legitimately very fun, but it was abandoned at ~95% completion. Which is relevant as the same thing is happening here. Prince Of Persia was about to come back then they killed it to pursue a “bigger idea”. Such a shame how often this happens
@@SpliffyHusk not even remotely comparable or the same situation. It was marketed and sold as a story driven zombie defence game, with the BR on the side. BR took off surprisingly, the rest is history.
Funny thing about the Trading Card comparison is that, as far as I am aware, Hasbro didn't actually make any money off that 2mil purchase by post malone. The actual card in question was sold by them to a consumer for the exact same price that ALL the other cards sold for. But what they did do was make a bunch of money from the people buying packs of all those other cards looking for it. And that is the difference between those type of games and selling a $64K NFT on your game store.
Didnt they already try this and fail miserably with their Quartz program? What makes them think having a whole game centered around it will fair any better when theyre having trouble even releasing a consistently good regular game period
Yep, they are speedrunning the destruction of their image so that it devalues the company so much it can easily and cheaply be sold to another company.
You all are dumb for dismissing and dropping crypto and NFT's. the smart play is to never get out and just wait. Everything rebounds, that's why all my assets are tied up in Beanie Babies.
the smart thing to invest in is antique historic foreign fully automatic machine-guns imported before the ban in the 1980's.. those things will only go up in value...
So there is this really cool experiment by a biologist on animal behavior where he put some seeds various containers and them watched to see which on the birds preferred. I don't remember the exact number but the jist was something like, In one container he always put 5 seeds, and in another he sometimes put 10, but sometimes put 0. And what he found was that the birds always went to the one w/ only 5 seeds. Even though they could have possibly gotten more if they went to the other one. Then later, instead of putting 5 seeds in container 1 he only put in 3 seeds. And what he found was, afterward all the birds started going to the other container w/ the random results. The conclusion was 5 seeds a day was enough to keep the birds alive when they visited it, so as long as they were stable they wouldn't risk going for the other option. But the 3 seeds wasn't enough for the birds to survive by itself, so then they became willing to gamble on getting the 10. Even though they might also get 0 and end up starving and dying faster, the chance of getting a 10 and staying alive was better than a slower but sure death of only getting 3 seeds. Which is all basically to illustrate the point that the more desperate and entity becomes, the more willing they are to spend their time/resources on huge risks in order to survive. And I think this exactly what is happening at Ubi. And has been happening since 2018 when Activision began a bid for hostile takeover. And it's just been downhill for them from there so they are now willing to just throw anything at the wall if it has even the slightest changes of making huge profits. Even though it might eventually kill them quicker, even the chance of success is better than the slow but sure death at the hands of (now) Tencent.
This is likely an aspect, but it also seems to me that this was occurring years ago when the decisions to begin development were pushed on bad investments. They were taking risks then too, but perhaps didn't know it.
Ubisoft is winning easily. EA had a controversial release with Veilguard, a game with mixed reviews, a love it or hate it kind of game. But I'm not seeing anything mixed with Ubisoft, it's all round bad.
Every NFT endeavor so far was just a pit full of snakes trying to poison each other and getting out on top. If a company tries to dabble in NFT, you already know who the biggest snake of them all is. This is just another reason why Ubisoft should just close down for good.
Story Update: This "game" is already fighting *One Single Guy* that has found a way to both auto-match to EVERYONE and Auto-WIN every match. The whole game now exists to mint ONE GUY endless crypto. They tried banning him but he's still matching and winning with people under the same account.
It's really funny thinking about how Ubisoft had to do all this damage control, wincing the whole time because they knew this was still coming and too far along to cancel. Like someone who bumped into a shelf and is waiting for the stuff on the very top to hit the floor too
I don’t remember what it’s called but there’s something where customers who like your product(s) will put up with stuff because they like you used to do even if they’re not happy. But there’s some point where you piss them off so much that they finally leave and it’s basically impossible to get them back because they don’t trust you anymore. And that’s when a company fails because all those people leave and want nothing to do with it anymore. Ubisoft is at that point of no return.
I’m so glad they told me to get comfortable not owning their games. This is a game that should never have gotten beyond the ears of the person who made it up
At this point I don't blame ubisoft anymore, I blame the ppl that are paying for their games, which is the only reason they are still business, no matter what ubisoft does, even if they are selling the ability to pause their games, I blame the gamers, cuz idc if there is a guy selling his toe nails for $20 a piece, thats fine, but but I will blame the ppl buying from him.
seeing the figurines beating the shit out of each other reminds me of some tactical games i looked over on steam. NGL those being units in a regular game and fighting like this would be a cool idea. Them being sold as nfts... not so much.
I agree, I thought the animation in that part was really cool. Honestly, selling collectible, real-life versions of the figurines would probably be more appealing to people. Even at over $50k, at least then you'd have a thing you could put on your shelf that wouldn't disappear when the servers shut down.
Ubisoft should change their name to "Years-late-to-the-party Trend-chaser". I hear they're going to launch one of their "new" inventions they call "The phonograph" within the next 3 years.
At this point it wouldn’t surprise me if Ubisoft are sued for going against the EU principle that limited companies are presumed to operate to earn money and give dividends to shareholders
your use case for NFTs makes no sense, digital marketplaces for user trading already exist and using NFT technology would be less efficient than using server verification like they do now.
From the style of the cards I was thinking Dragon Age 2 Hawke at 1:48 and at 1:54 I was like "hey, that's a Qunari"...but then...wait...Dragon Age...Qunari....Ubisoft. Oh. I got that totally mixed up lol.
It's like Ubisoft has different factions at the top. Some see the sense in changing release strategy to try to get better sales, and some are stuck where they were years ago and just dump anything out there to chase a buck.
Ubisoft really saw the statuette fight minigame of New Tales from the Borderlands, something which everybody hated, and thought "yep let's make an NFT game that is only that mini-game"
One of the funnest free experiences is snipping NFTs, and copy pasting them back to the owner with a comment like, "my monke now!" Then watching them sperg and say they'll internet sue you.
I think you are being too harsh. Ubisoft is doing us a favor by pricing it out of our range. By doing so only the super rich can afford it. They in turn will be subsidizing our games. As for your concern for those with a gambling problem, they won't be able to borrow that much.
great video, your comments in this video made me remember about the crypto group that bought a copy of a script for a dune movie thought they acquired rights to produce dune content, and also started destroying pages of the script and turning then into nft
Aren't people running Ubisoft also currently trying to buy all shares in Ubisoft alongside Tencent or something like that? At this point they must be intentionally running it down for a few last years to buy it as a bargain.
I've never heard of NFTs for like the games themselves. That's a really interesting take, I have to wonder if Steam or someone is secretly working on something similar.
It's bold of them to release a game based on a thing everyone hates, when the market for that thing has crashed like 90% If there ever was a time for nft games, it was a very long time ago
Ubi looked at their stock price and said, “we can get it lower”, YOU CANT MAKE IT UP
At this point, it’s only a matter of time before they file for chapter 11…
Someone's got to be short selling the stocks or something. The board must be trying to do some kind of behind closed doors GameStop-gate or whatever it was called all over again

I've never heard of NFTs for like the games themselves. That's a really interesting take, I have to wonder if Steam or someone is secretly working on something similar.
I'm offended by this on so many levels it's honestly staggering.
It's bold of them to release a game based on a thing everyone hates, when the market for that thing has crashed like 90%
If there ever was a time for nft games, it was a very long time ago
Ubisoft is saved! Hooray!
A this point. there is no more foot to shoot. It's just a rotting stump.
The idea may sound silly now, but honestly I think this is going to be the inevitable future of gaming.
I’m baffled why they would release this game when NFTs are well on their way out the door
