[@Hybris51129]

They have had good IP's to work with and yet somehow never been able to capitalize on them to the degree that they could. We saw flashes of greatness with the earlier AC games and Far Cry games but even with those flashes they couldn't keep the fire going as it were and its finally burning out. For me personally I loved their Silent Hunter series of submarine games as a teenager but when Silent Hunter 5 came out and was so buggy that it was unplayable it was the first sign that something was really wrong with the company.

The modern slop that they create in previous and current Gen is not even worth it. I agree its very disappointing.

Preordering to get the full game experience is crap, has always been crap and always will be. It doesn't matter if I preorder or buy the game 2 years after release, I should get access to the full game, period.

[@planescaped]

It is crazy how swiftly Ubisoft went from industry juggernaut to barely hanging on. I had felt it was inevitable with how they released games that were so freaking samey as to feel instantly familiar upon release... but I still expected people to buy it anyway. Just look at sportball games. Guess fifa is a separate beast with a separate audience. Ubisofts core audience wasn't as dumb as they thought they were.

[@julianhyams9392]

It is best to view FIFA and Madden etc not as a series that keeps doping idiots into buying the exact same thing. But as one game that has yearly mega updates to refresh the graphics, mechanics and match the current state of the sport they are representing so the whole thing is as up-to-date as possible. This also allows them to restructure core gameplay elements from the ground up rather than trash an existing product with their experimenting. They then charge money for it akin to a DLC and people have the option to upgrade to it or not. Allowing their players to play the “version” of the game that they like the most. And of course you have very dedicated sports fans who will happily buy every one of them, but they probably don’t play much else so they aren’t exactly spending much more than other gamers each year. Overall, it is a clever business model that is not as sloppy as it seems from the outside.

[@Ravengagepvl]

Sportsball gamers are a different breed. It's always amazed me.

[@MysteriousSignal]

Sports games have legions of lobotomite followers who will buy the next one just to be able to play their favorite IRL player. Amazing how some people will keep spending their money on the newest product that is the same (or in a lot of cases, somehow worse) than the release before it.

[@iepineapple]

I think sports games would've been the prime target for Live service. They never change, all that does are the players, the rules are set in stone, so are the venue and the stakes, so by introducing a perpetual game state they could've done what live service games should've been, a community driven long term game project like Fortnite has become. But instead they chose to make other games follow that model, and it killed its opinion widely

[@RETEKhero01]

The difference is that people who love football don't really have a huge selection of football games they can play instead of Fifa. A friend of mine is like this and even he hates the game, but the other ones that are out there are even worse by comparison. As soon as an enjoyable, well-put together and customer friendly football game is made Fifa will die out.

[@SimuLord]

They can take their time. Whenever they finish it, we'll be there to not buy it.

@@AxleTrade The trend in 2024 seems to have been the decline of fanbases, zombie or otherwise, for oversaturated or declining franchises. Disney's got a real problem on its hands with Marvel nowadays, for example. I'm genuinely curious to see if this trend continues in 2025 and what it will mean not just for AAA game publishers but for pop culture as a whole. Reminds me a bit of the early 1990s (yes, I'm old) when '80s action movies and glam rock went out of style seemingly overnight and set the stage for a major cultural shift.

[@Triviate]

The only Ubisoft game I ever bought was Assassin's Creed 1. Barely played it and after that never really paid attention to Ubisoft. At least, that is, until the WiiU launch event where they were touted as this huge juggernaut that was getting behind Nintendo with ZombieU and Rayman. I remember thinking, "Who is this Ubisoft company and why should I care?" Felt like a lot of undeserved hype at the time. I've seen them in the news a lot lately, and not for good reasons. Quite honestly, they don't generate enough impact for me to care if they succeed or not. Again, I always felt they got way more hype than they ever deserved. I guess their players and shareholders agree?

It doesn't matter how much they polish this game, people are still going to be upset with them for how they have handled this reveal and leading up to launch. You look at all of the misses they have had during the reveal. - Making a game based in Japanese and putting a black Samurai (Yes Yasuke was real but he was a servant, not a Samurai) - Putting Rap and "Black Music" when Yasuke enters battle - All of the inaccuracies in the game (Painting a Glyph on a single bit of paper, harvesting rice while the blossom trees bloom, etc) - Having a Black Character destroying Japanese Set (Considering the history between black and Asian Culture) - Figure bouncing off broken Torii Gate - Setting New Release Date to the same day that Tokyo subway sarin attack (20 March 1995) Even after all this, say the game does "well" and sells 5 million copies, is that going to be enough to stop them from hemorrhaging money ?

If someone is looking at ubisoft, they're not looking to buy the company but rather they're more likely waiting for the bankruptcy. Because then they can swoop in and buy up the various franchises rather than Ubisoft itself. Assassin's Creeed, Rainbow Six and a bunch of the other Tom Clancy games alongside a bunch of frankly abandoned franchises like Rayman, Might and Magic and Settlers... All of these individually are probably worth more money than buying the whole pack to take on Ubisoft's reputation alongside them.

Ubisoft has to fail to teach the rest of the industry the way the market wants games. However, it will be sad to see many employee loosing their jobs across the multiple international offices they have. Even worse when you think that the high ups of the industry would give Yves another chance at a management position just so he can ruin another studio.

[@BeersYourFriend]

What's crazy is that no matter how much Ubisoft polishes AC Shadows, I think the damage has already been done. It's going to sell with so many fans of the Assassins Creed franchise, but everyone else may decide to pass on this. I'm not sure how much you can improve a game with only 6 extra months of development. Halo Infinite needed an extra year, and yet it was still not what most Halo fans wanted. Definitely a year of polished helped Halo Infinite look better, but the game didn't do as well as it could. Personally, I've been sick of AC games for the past decade. These games just feel so samey where you are just plopped down into a different environment. You do stealth kills, climb walls, parkour, finish an objective marked with a checkmark on the map, then go somewhere else to do it again and again. We will see how the game does. If AC Shadows is a substantial improvement over the AC formula we've played for decades, then maybe I'll check it out. If I don't see enough of a shift, I'll pass.

Tencent is very unlikely to be happy at Ubisoft's situation. Check when Tencent bought into Ubisoft and at what share price. Then compare to the share price now. Tencent and the G Bros deal also had Tencent having minimal voting rights, meaning they are the so called silent partners. So we can see that Tencent's idea was to put in money and wait for the dividends to roll in. Which is NOT happening, so they now have a massive loss on paper but that will be locked in and realised if they sell. Tencent having to step up to the plate is NOT what a silent partner does but now they are forced to do so to reduce their losses.
