Have to love well thought out and informative marketing strategies from these bright college grads they keep hiring over people with experience. Really proved us wrong with their new way of looking at things in the market. One could say they even reimagined themselves to be the only market. Where its just them as the market itself. Yet another big company will fail. Same people get moved on and their "qualifications" get them into another company to repeat.
They just assumed that all other companies would do the same thing. When they didn t Ubisoft became an outlaw. Nobody with a brain wants to rent games if they can buy instead. Gamers aren t dumb.
Also telling their customers that purchasing their product does not equal owning their product they paid for also had something to do with it. It's one bad business decision after another.
Also telling that to gamers who have a million other games to fall back on lol like league is what 15 years old and still huge same for wow and rs and cs.
This whole joke is so fucking stupid because we almost NEVER go back to games after we've completed them. We don't want to own games apart from some dumb wish to clutter up our homes with old games that we don't play. Unbisoft just looked at the stats & realised
@@alwaysdisputin9930 On the Contrary. Of the 3 games I regularly play, only 1 is less than 10 years old. Games are just not as good as they used to be. I used to drop $60 on a title now and then, but they're mostly just splash art that you're paying for these days.
@@alwaysdisputin9930 speak for yourself, i tend to always go back to the older games that Ubisoft had, sadly today, the older games tend to be much better quality and writing, gameplay, mechanics pretty much everything, the only thing the new games have is larger ambition longer grindy gameplay and a whole lot of microtransactions or other cash grabs and always online nonsense.
This feels like the reverse of when Larian shared their statistics on BG3 anniversary. There was an ending for one of the characters that only 34 players (yes, you read that right, THIRTY FOUR) actually picked. Out of the millions of players, multiple runs, countless hours, only 34 people picked that ending. But that ending has a whole cutscene, dialogue and all that stuff and Larian took the time to make that ending knowing full well that only a super small % of players would pick it (it's probably the worst ending for that character and it's super obvious) because it makes sense in-universe to choose that ending for role-play reasons I guess. This is the inverse of that. Ubisoft made a bunch of side content for their game and no one wants to interact with it, lol
Instead of being a choice Easter Egg, the Ubisoft thing sounds like a chore. Reminds me of Asmon's comment about clearing a map, then searching for the last goblin for countless minutes as he's in that one corner hidden behind something.

@@Ozzystrayroo yeah strangely both Division games from Ubi are alive too. Despite having like 500-1000 daily players. I wonder why they even update the second Division, to push the narrative?

these player numbers are just brutal. I'm an indie player, mostly pixel graphics. Currently replaying of my favorite roguelikes, Moonlighter. It has peaked 6229 players. Another favorite, Streets of Rogue, has peaked 4320. I believe both of them combined did cost less money to make than just 1 production day in Ubisoft.

Used to work at Massive Ent. until about the time "The Division 2" was wrapping up for release, it started going downhill then already. Massive was a well liked and respected studio before Ubisoft bought it.
Ubisoft went downhill after AC 2. I think that's when their outlook and direction really changed. Back then it felt like Ubi devs actually wanted people to have fun, & people looked up to them. Now they are just accomplices in child manipulation and pyschological extortion of gamers which they all hate.

Ubisoft became a lazy company. Not long ago everything would sell, but finally players are having higher standards… There’s no way their beta testers tell them that the game is perfect to be released when it’s just a mess…
Kind of funny how companies are so obsessed with making money, and yet they don't realize that quality games as well as reasonable and fair marketing are what make games profitable, can't make money if no one wants to play you're games.
6th item slot, talk to and watch the pokeball tutorial, ride up and down the east coast ridge of pyre island. Also, never bring Missingno into League. Good times.
that is really impressive, how did people back int he 90's do things before the game was even created? (considering that the internet is 5 years older than pokemon games)
@robknight87 I was alive in the 90s, and was the first kid in my school to be into Pokémon. I only knew about it before the other kids because I had a Nintendo Power mag. I learned about Missingno on the playground. The Missingno cheat was spread without the internet. Every single kid would tell another kid about the Missingno cheat. This is why you have tales of Mew under the truck, Sonic in Brawl, and other things. Why? Because the Missingno cheat was real, so those may have been too. We didn't have widespread internet to check. Google literally wasn't around.
@robknight87 word of mouth and friends. Apparently back then everyone had an uncle that worked at Nintendo or something. He'll, I got a rom copy of Pokémon silver for Ms dos a year before the game came to states. Wild times.
its more their only option is to push forward or die, probably die anyways but what are they going to do, they spent alot of money on it, either it pays off or they shut down most of their stuff come the failure of ass creed shadows.
OK, hear me out... This may be the GREATEST Singleplayer game ever made! Because, at this rate only one singular person will be left playing it on the entire planet. What an accomplishment!
The funniest thing is that this game wouldve been a massive success if they just made Boba fett or Cad Bane the protagonist. Litteraly a single character model away from a best seller.
Jesus christ yes, or a nameless Mandelorian. Or a self created character. Or a jedi (you would think ubisoft could make a decent melee combat system one of the fucking days) No instead they choose to show off how much they suck at third person shooters as well.
But WHY do you want to own games? It's fucking pointless. We almost never go back to games that we've completed. I LOVED Hogwarts Legacy & replayed it one time. I was going to complete it in all 4 school houses but I got so fucking bored. I'm never go back
That's actually insane considering how often we see massive games get 100%-ed within like a week of release. They're extremely desperate for players. Hope it stays that way.
It's simply bizarre that the best Star Wars content we got in the past years was from EA...EA! Both Jedi: Survivor and Jedi: Fallen Order were really good games.
We have much more power than what we know, if we can act together, not only in games, but in everything, we can have a powerful weapon when used with actions!
I mean I wouldn't play this shit for free. No wonder ubisoft is suffering. I bought like 3 of their big games for 8€ a while a go and still haven't finished a single one except black flag
Star Wars is a world renown franchise, to have made a game for Star Wars and yet still is unable to bring in the numbers is just... how did they even end up in this state
Imagine working with something this huge and fumbled so hard. The audience is there dude, they just need to give them what they want and instead, they did the complete opposite. What kind of business is this
Ubisoft : "Be comfortable about not owning your games !" Gamers : "You want us to pirate the games ?" Ubisoft : "NAH !" Gamers : "You want us to not buy your games ?" Ubisoft : "NAH ! You guys are really dumb !" Gamers : "You expect us to send you money to insult us ?" Ubisoft : "You know what ? We don't need you actually !" Gamers : "Ok !" Ubisoft: "You're not supposed to say that !!!"
Hopefully they will finally let the company go, and maybe a few dedicated and *actually* talented people from the company will make their own game studio.
They won't go bankrupt as much as everyone wishes it realistically, they'll likely get bought out by someone like Tencent who will attempt a revival via an assassins creed game that doesn't suck. Maybe the Chinese and Japanese will uncharacteristically join hands over this and create an authentic game? It could happen but they'd have to have the balls to do a massive restructuring of the company and eradicate the SJW infestation. Then again, it's entirely possible as well that the brand is just so contaminated now even Tencent won't want anything to do with it. The path out of this mess for Ubisoft I could see is their staff being eliminated and then they contract a Japanese studio perhaps to take over the assassins creed game while they look for replacement devs.
It hurts me because I'm a Star Wars fan. But I'm also glad that people flipping the bird to greedy corporations. The "you will own nothing, and like it" model must not take root.
Flippin' the bird to Czerka type corporations irl is a rebel move to make. I'm more proud of the SW community now than ever and I'm more involved now than ever too
Ubisoft in January 2024: Gamers need to get comfortable with "not owning your games". Gamers in December 2024: Ubisoft need to get comfotable with "not existing anymore in 2025"
ironically me and many I know were quite okay with the ubisoft formula from FC to AC and would've just kept consuming those like sort of a gaming fast food. But they messed it up so bad that not even a small interest to what they offering now
@@kildrathtrue but those guys usually get a Darksaber through a civil war every Tuesday, so it’s basically space magician simulator being a Mandalorian.
Gunslinger smuggler game would be awesome. But they would need the main character to be morally grey and we can't have that anymore. If it was more like red dead 2 and you could actively hold up people and steal from them or board their ships and loot them... that would be awesome. Think about this. Same character (Lady rip off Han) but in the new republic era. You can choose to target other pirate which are a big problem during this era good rep or go after new republic ships lowering your rep and having the few new republic officers hut you down.
There are rumors they want the share price to tank, so they can buy it out cheap and privatize it afterwards. No idea if that makes any sense, but it's Ubisoft, who knows.
Like a lot of gaming corporations, they used to make good games and were lead by people who truly liked gaming. Now these companies have been brought by people who dont understand the audience and only think about money.
All the industry Giants that made our childhood were going down thanks to none other but their own fooly and greed....tis a sad day to grow up to see the things we used to cheerish, burned down to ashses.
is there any saving ubisoft? maybe if they had some huge popular release on the horizon but all they have is assassins creed ghetto warrior and spending any more money on its development will only hurt them more.
i think they would need 2-3 great game to turn around. but all likelyness is they already have 2 more expensive titles in the pipeline. farcry and maybe division or a tom clancy thing
I think it would take at least 5-10 years of good game releases to get back on track at this point. I used to be a big Ubisoft fan because they released games like Splinter Cell, Assassin's Creed, Ghost Recon, even Silent Hunter. But after making progressively worse Splinter Cell games and forgetting about it, making Silent Hunter V a mess (and forgetting about it), forgetting about Ghost Recon, making progressively worse ANNUAL AC releases after Black Flag and other slop following the same formula, they've just deteriorated to pretty much garbage tier. Only games worth still are Anno series, For Honor was fun, Siege I guess is popular but I couldn't get into it and it looks to be worsening. Anything else continues to suck. They gotta stop making so many games and actually focus for once
@@elliottb7009 oh knowing the clowns at ubislop they are pushing the studios to make some forgoten Ip like splinter cell, beyond god and evil, Prince of Persia or whatever to try and cash in old nostalgia.
I did the unthinkable and played thru Outlaws to the end. Having done so makes this story even more sad. There are some real moments in the game where what Ubisoft used to be capable of shines thru. The massive budgets and AAA investment in the game are very noticeable at times and even with all the other crap, they stand out and make you say 'well goddamn, that is really something'. Again, this just drives home even more what this could have been with better direction from the top.
Meanwhile the Baldur's Gate 3 community finds that 1 hidden dialogue in Honor mode that you only get if take 100 specific actions in a 40 hour playthrough where all can be destroyed if you don't roll a 10 for that specific check
What pisses me off is these companies are still in business. You know the market is full of monopolies when they can tank loss after loss and be largely unaffected.
They are far from largely unaffected. Their stock is in the gutter. Their shareholders are calling for the CEOs removal. If AC Shadows tanks, they may finally be done (thank god) Companies like Disney are going to be a lot harder to crack. As they have multiple revenue streams between media, and their parks.
@Ozzystrayroo not really, you get it at the end of the game and it's not as interesting as the others. You have ocean maid too which makes her ass bigger.
@89RASMUS That makes no sense. If you subscribe to Gamepass & play Indiana jones & then uninstall it & unsubscribe from Gamepass then you're buying the right to have 60 or so hours of enjoyment. which is almost exactly the same as if you went to the store & bought a physical copy of the game, because even though Indy's good you probably won't replay it If you pirate it instead then you're stealing 60 hours of enjoyment
No they postponed AC Shadows for 3 months to polish it. It's probably going to be very successful. All the people saying Ubisoft's done are going to stop talking after February
This really feels like the ultimate retort to their CEO saying: "Gamers should get comfortable with not owning games", but this is not happening because of outrage against that. This is simply happening because they have been serving the same regurgitated soulless gameplay and their games simply stopped being fun.
I know capitalism is what keeps our society rolling, but the kind of corporate greed shown by companies like Ubisoft needs to stop. Glad gamers are doing it to them.
I feel sad only for the regular employees, especially the part of them that doesn't like the direction of game development in this company, but they can't argue with the heads and just did the ordered slop and watched the downfall.

Kind of funny how companies are so obsessed with making money, and yet they don't realize that quality games as well as reasonable and fair marketing are what make games profitable, can't make money if no one wants to play you're games.
A reminder that many, many people found Missingno on the original Pokemon game before the internet was a thing.
6th item slot, talk to and watch the pokeball tutorial, ride up and down the east coast ridge of pyre island. Also, never bring Missingno into League.
Good times.
Cinnabar Island. Maybe a localisation thing
that is really impressive, how did people back int he 90's do things before the game was even created? (considering that the internet is 5 years older than pokemon games)
@robknight87 I was alive in the 90s, and was the first kid in my school to be into Pokémon. I only knew about it before the other kids because I had a Nintendo Power mag. I learned about Missingno on the playground.
The Missingno cheat was spread without the internet. Every single kid would tell another kid about the Missingno cheat. This is why you have tales of Mew under the truck, Sonic in Brawl, and other things. Why? Because the Missingno cheat was real, so those may have been too.
We didn't have widespread internet to check. Google literally wasn't around.
@robknight87 word of mouth and friends. Apparently back then everyone had an uncle that worked at Nintendo or something. He'll, I got a rom copy of Pokémon silver for Ms dos a year before the game came to states. Wild times.
Studios: If you don't like it, don't buy it!
Consumers: Say less.
Modern audience: what are video games?. wait nvm, we don't exist.
SBI : Hire us more or else!
Ah yes the ever mystical messiah figure of Modern media: Modern audience
Also studios: why aren’t people buying our games?
modern audience: doesn't exist
that would imply this "modern audience" exist in the first place...
Ubisoft still doesn't get it, call me surprised 😮
Hi surprised, i'm dad
its more their only option is to push forward or die, probably die anyways but what are they going to do, they spent alot of money on it, either it pays off or they shut down most of their stuff come the failure of ass creed shadows.
Hi Dad, I'm son... I hope you find the milk aisle soon 🥺
Well they are french....inflexible and stubborn just like their maginot line.
I'm sure some gets it. AC Shadow won't save them and they know that too.
OK, hear me out... This may be the GREATEST Singleplayer game ever made! Because, at this rate only one singular person will be left playing it on the entire planet. What an accomplishment!
The funniest thing is that this game wouldve been a massive success if they just made Boba fett or Cad Bane the protagonist. Litteraly a single character model away from a best seller.
it seems han solo was gonna be the main dude but ima guess ol sweet baby inc got involved and that went out the window.
Jesus christ yes, or a nameless Mandelorian. Or a self created character. Or a jedi (you would think ubisoft could make a decent melee combat system one of the fucking days) No instead they choose to show off how much they suck at third person shooters as well.
Not even one game urinalist unlocked that? Oh man, thats something..
Too busy tweeting about “representation” and complaining to management about unspoken verbal abuse.
because they don't play games
Games journos barely play any video games.
You really think they play these games beyond the tutorial? LOL
Now that's a good insult.
0:17 Did they fix her face?
No
They made her bald and now she in a different game
Get a life
Did Ubisoft? No, but there's a mod that does.
Fix lol you know damn well it was on purpose. Alot of these devs hate beauty. It's a insecurity issue.
Ubisoft : get use to not owning your games
*some time later...*
Ubisoft : I shouldn't have said that. Should not have said that
also player : get use to not own a company
Thats fine, they should just get used to us not paying for games then.
But WHY do you want to own games? It's fucking pointless. We almost never go back to games that we've completed. I LOVED Hogwarts Legacy & replayed it one time. I was going to complete it in all 4 school houses but I got so fucking bored. I'm never go back
Remember when game devs made games because they loved to play games
That's actually insane considering how often we see massive games get 100%-ed within like a week of release. They're extremely desperate for players. Hope it stays that way.
1:15 is peak response to this lunacy.
Players: be comfortable not owning your company 🤣
You can hear the nervous laugh in the patch note as they try to portray the lack of engagement as something exciting.
Well that is what happens when you make a outlaw game without being able to play as a outlaw
It's simply bizarre that the best Star Wars content we got in the past years was from EA...EA! Both Jedi: Survivor and Jedi: Fallen Order were really good games.
Exceptionally good aside from the horrible performance of survivor I still beat it several times and was never into souls-like it psuedo souls-like
I love how they pull the ultimate cope and try to spin it as if no one has figured it out
You don't hate these AAA studios enough
You mean AAAA :-)
We have to keep tapping the sign until the cancer of the industry has nothing to feed off of anymore.
All public entities at this point lol corpotism should have stayed far away from all creative and artistic outlets
Has it really only been a month? It feels like longer for some reason
steam release. it was originally on their own launcher.
Game was released by July 27, and in Steam a month ago
Its like morbius failing once aint enough.
@@andrewzotsenkoyou mean August 30th to the masses, the July date was probably to critics and influencers.
@@Ay-xq7mj I enjoyed that movie, despite its writing being so damn abysmal.
Ubisoft: Please play our game, It’s good now we promise, we’re sorrrrryyy
We have much more power than what we know, if we can act together, not only in games, but in everything, we can have a powerful weapon when used with actions!
I mean I wouldn't play this shit for free. No wonder ubisoft is suffering. I bought like 3 of their big games for 8€ a while a go and still haven't finished a single one except black flag
Hope this doesn't stop until woke/DEI is completely erased from gaming industry
I’m pretty sure Star Wars outlaws wasn’t even woke what are you talking about it was just a bad game 💀💀
Amen
@gutuio2407ugly girl main character= woke crap
@gutuio2407
Youre right, but i get him... its diferent syntoms same decease
AAAAAAAAMEN
Star Wars is a world renown franchise, to have made a game for Star Wars and yet still is unable to bring in the numbers is just... how did they even end up in this state
Small correction: Star Wars *USED* to be a world renowned franchise. It was dead long before Outlaws.
Disney worked really hard to make the fans turn away
"Star Wars is a world renown franchise" WAS a world renown franchise, now its just known and mid..... K.K done everything to reach that goal.
It was. Now its just a shitshow
Imagine working with something this huge and fumbled so hard. The audience is there dude, they just need to give them what they want and instead, they did the complete opposite. What kind of business is this
YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE UBISOFT! YOU JUST HAD TO MAKE A RAYMAN IN 3D!
Sorry, Rabbids are more popular than Rayman lol
All they had to do was release beyond good and evil 2
they just need to donate it to toys for bob.
It break my heart that i'll never get RaymanVR
See you in Rayman 4!
Once these companies get a stank on them, it's impossible to shake😂
Star Wars Square Jaws has failed.
I'm shocked, shocked I tell you.
Ubisoft : "Be comfortable about not owning your games !"
Gamers : "You want us to pirate the games ?"
Ubisoft : "NAH !"
Gamers : "You want us to not buy your games ?"
Ubisoft : "NAH ! You guys are really dumb !"
Gamers : "You expect us to send you money to insult us ?"
Ubisoft : "You know what ? We don't need you actually !"
Gamers : "Ok !"
Ubisoft: "You're not supposed to say that !!!"
Gotta love the monkeys at these studios acting all anime tsundere bullcrap insulting their costumers and gettin a kick in the nuts in response.
But we almost never go back to games that we've completed so there's no point in owning games. Ubisoft just looking at the stats
Even the devs gave up on gaslighting themselves, time to follow the concord route
I'm just waiting for Ubisoft to finally close. It'll be a fair thing to do. You can't make shit and continue to live from it. There has to be justice.
It won't happen. They'll get bought out...probably by a Chinese company...but they'll continue in some form.
Hopefully they will finally let the company go, and maybe a few dedicated and *actually* talented people from the company will make their own game studio.
They won't go bankrupt as much as everyone wishes it realistically, they'll likely get bought out by someone like Tencent who will attempt a revival via an assassins creed game that doesn't suck. Maybe the Chinese and Japanese will uncharacteristically join hands over this and create an authentic game? It could happen but they'd have to have the balls to do a massive restructuring of the company and eradicate the SJW infestation. Then again, it's entirely possible as well that the brand is just so contaminated now even Tencent won't want anything to do with it.
The path out of this mess for Ubisoft I could see is their staff being eliminated and then they contract a Japanese studio perhaps to take over the assassins creed game while they look for replacement devs.
@@lethn2929 even if that happens I doubt ubisoft will become better, there is no hope for them
Ubisoft needs to be comfortable shutting down.
Bro the Ubisoft execs really got a fortune cookie that said: don’t bite the hand that feeds you. 😂 and their thought was “wtf does this rubbish say?”
It hurts me because I'm a Star Wars fan. But I'm also glad that people flipping the bird to greedy corporations. The "you will own nothing, and like it" model must not take root.
Flippin' the bird to Czerka type corporations irl is a rebel move to make. I'm more proud of the SW community now than ever and I'm more involved now than ever too
Ubisoft should get comfortable players not buying 😂😂
I am non buy-nary
The comedy never ends when it comes to Ubisoft.
Ubisoft in January 2024: Gamers need to get comfortable with "not owning your games".
Gamers in December 2024: Ubisoft need to get comfotable with "not existing anymore in 2025"
ironically me and many I know were quite okay with the ubisoft formula from FC to AC and would've just kept consuming those like sort of a gaming fast food.
But they messed it up so bad that not even a small interest to what they offering now
Whats funny is that they still paying Denuvo to protect this garbanzo
lmao
Probably denuvo contract was signed before release. Ubi needs to get theirs money's worth
@olegshkurenko-0448 yep
*ALMOST* sad indeed, a gunslinger in Star Wars is all fine but *GIVE ME MY DAMN SPACE WIZARD MAGIC ALREADY!*
It would have worked if it was a bulky Mandalorian man with jetpack, and all sort of cool gadgets and weapons..
@@kildrathtrue but those guys usually get a Darksaber through a civil war every Tuesday, so it’s basically space magician simulator being a Mandalorian.
@@kildrath no it's a frail lil thief, and it could have worked with good direction, but naw, she can PUNCH stormtroopers and that's fucking wild
Gunslinger smuggler game would be awesome. But they would need the main character to be morally grey and we can't have that anymore. If it was more like red dead 2 and you could actively hold up people and steal from them or board their ships and loot them... that would be awesome.
Think about this. Same character (Lady rip off Han) but in the new republic era. You can choose to target other pirate which are a big problem during this era good rep or go after new republic ships lowering your rep and having the few new republic officers hut you down.
@kildrath so basically Star Wars Bounty Hunter
At this point it seems like big wigs at Ubisoft want to genuinly kill off this studio for some reasons.
There are rumors they want the share price to tank, so they can buy it out cheap and privatize it afterwards. No idea if that makes any sense, but it's Ubisoft, who knows.
0:05 Star Wars brand is straight up dead after the slop schedule they have been on for the last few years…
Ubisoft needs to get more Comfortable with going out of Business.
Ubisoft made donald duck quack attack for the gamecube, the first souls game and one of my favorites
Like a lot of gaming corporations, they used to make good games and were lead by people who truly liked gaming. Now these companies have been brought by people who dont understand the audience and only think about money.
@ or think about woke
All the industry Giants that made our childhood were going down thanks to none other but their own fooly and greed....tis a sad day to grow up to see the things we used to cheerish, burned down to ashses.
But when was the gamecube again? I bet most viewers didn't even live yet. We should not judge mildly for misplaced nostalgia's sake.
@@lordofchaosinc.261lmfao bro thought he cooked
is there any saving ubisoft? maybe if they had some huge popular release on the horizon but all they have is assassins creed ghetto warrior and spending any more money on its development will only hurt them more.
i think they would need 2-3 great game to turn around. but all likelyness is they already have 2 more expensive titles in the pipeline. farcry and maybe division or a tom clancy thing
Ghetto Warrior 😂
I think it would take at least 5-10 years of good game releases to get back on track at this point. I used to be a big Ubisoft fan because they released games like Splinter Cell, Assassin's Creed, Ghost Recon, even Silent Hunter.
But after making progressively worse Splinter Cell games and forgetting about it, making Silent Hunter V a mess (and forgetting about it), forgetting about Ghost Recon, making progressively worse ANNUAL AC releases after Black Flag and other slop following the same formula, they've just deteriorated to pretty much garbage tier.
Only games worth still are Anno series, For Honor was fun, Siege I guess is popular but I couldn't get into it and it looks to be worsening. Anything else continues to suck. They gotta stop making so many games and actually focus for once
@@elliottb7009 oh knowing the clowns at ubislop they are pushing the studios to make some forgoten Ip like splinter cell, beyond god and evil, Prince of Persia or whatever to try and cash in old nostalgia.
New Anno game in 2025. If they fuck that up as well then I quit.
"Ask and shall be receive" kinda treatment.
Didn't buy it, didn't own it.
ubisoft fucked around with gamers and found out.
I did the unthinkable and played thru Outlaws to the end. Having done so makes this story even more sad. There are some real moments in the game where what Ubisoft used to be capable of shines thru. The massive budgets and AAA investment in the game are very noticeable at times and even with all the other crap, they stand out and make you say 'well goddamn, that is really something'. Again, this just drives home even more what this could have been with better direction from the top.
Potatoes thats pretty much everyone at ubisoft right now
Hey! I take that personally! Potatoes are one of the greatest foods ever to exist... don't EVER disrespect them like that again
That reminds me. Brotato, a 5$ game without any story or graphics whatsoever, have 11k players right now.
Would it be safe to assume them all mental vegetables?
Even potato fries taste better than Ubisoft garbage 😂
Begging your own players to play the game is diabolical work 💀
"how many times do we have to teach you this lesson, old man?"
Meanwhile the Baldur's Gate 3 community finds that 1 hidden dialogue in Honor mode that you only get if take 100 specific actions in a 40 hour playthrough where all can be destroyed if you don't roll a 10 for that specific check
Good to see these big companies can't just do whatever the fk they want. (aside from Blizzard, they can apparently)
What pisses me off is these companies are still in business. You know the market is full of monopolies when they can tank loss after loss and be largely unaffected.
They are far from largely unaffected. Their stock is in the gutter. Their shareholders are calling for the CEOs removal.
If AC Shadows tanks, they may finally be done (thank god)
Companies like Disney are going to be a lot harder to crack. As they have multiple revenue streams between media, and their parks.
I'm so sorry for the devs that had to make this shit
They are the ones that made the division, they have a potential but sadly, they are french
Except the ones who hate gamers
Dont. Since they actually did that shit.
I knew a Ubi dev. They swore their games ain't as bad but working there was tagic
I'm not. They are part of the problem.
Well now that I know they've added a mount, I have to play the game - said no one ever
I'll buy it when I see a $5 price tag.
They are getting uncomfortable with people not owning their games.
People literally collected cans in stellar blade. This is hilarious
And the reward for it is pretty rewarding too
@Ozzystrayroo not really, you get it at the end of the game and it's not as interesting as the others. You have ocean maid too which makes her ass bigger.
legit some players are gonna try to be the only player now
If buying isn't owning, then pirating isn't stealing.
Some games are not even worth pirating.
@89RASMUS That makes no sense. If you subscribe to Gamepass & play Indiana jones & then uninstall it & unsubscribe from Gamepass then you're buying the right to have 60 or so hours of enjoyment.
which is almost exactly the same as if you went to the store & bought a physical copy of the game, because even though Indy's good you probably won't replay it
If you pirate it instead then you're stealing 60 hours of enjoyment
Can’t wait for the next Girlboss Slayqueen Legends franchise
Ubisoft needs to CLOSE DOWN
there is Ubisoft and then there is Larian studios, Santa Monica Studios bruh
ubi was over a while ago imo
they lost me after AC3
No they postponed AC Shadows for 3 months to polish it. It's probably going to be very successful. All the people saying Ubisoft's done are going to stop talking after February
I like to flirt with the idea of a mandalorian game similar to just cause
This really feels like the ultimate retort to their CEO saying: "Gamers should get comfortable with not owning games", but this is not happening because of outrage against that. This is simply happening because they have been serving the same regurgitated soulless gameplay and their games simply stopped being fun.
Ubislop fucked around, they found out, now nobody left but themselves cares.
I havent even been bothered to pirate an ubisoft game since assassins creed rogue let alone buy one , the games are as soulless as the ceos
I know capitalism is what keeps our society rolling, but the kind of corporate greed shown by companies like Ubisoft needs to stop. Glad gamers are doing it to them.
I refuse to feel sorry for people who openly just say: F me!
Outlaws is the best advertisement for SWTOR ever.
Ubi needs to have a board meeting where a guy stands at the front, loops this part @ 1:04 , and screams, "Do you GET it yet??" Each time it repeats
Mount with quest lines so basically it's like no one beat the Darkbrotherhood quest to get shadowmane in Skyrim.
first finish product, THEN release.
I been tellung people for YEARS that Ubisoft went downhill the monent they changed the whole concept of AC games.
People born before 2000 will get it.
I feel sad only for the regular employees, especially the part of them that doesn't like the direction of game development in this company, but they can't argue with the heads and just did the ordered slop and watched the downfall.
"Ubisoft, we need to talk. Let's go behind the shed in the yard...
Have you ever heard of 'Old Yeller?'"
