[@crunchyfrog555]

I'm actually quite glad this is happening with Ubisoft. Not as some nasty cynical attitude, but more for the greater good. I've grown increasingly frustrated with the triple A gaming space, as for deacdes anyone with an ounce of common sense could see how continual ballooning costs that were unnecessary have painted them into a corner, and they've never learned from the multitude of signs. Back when they started to pursue certain trends like MMOs or mobile gaming and HAD to shoe horn every bloody game into those things, it was patently obvious they were slicing the pie up so thinly they would hinder each other. But again they never learned. But a massive catastrophe like Ubisoft happening, where they've stuck to the same script of this greedy, single minded pursuit of bland samey risk averse gaming and nickel and diming everything, maybe SOME other companies might be shocked into realising how it can go pear shaped. I don't expect it of course because these fucktards are blinded by greed but there might be some people who take the caution.

[@michaellane5381]

I have been saying this almost a decade now, MTX and "live service" are a corporate honey trap. You see on ledger lines 4 income streams; 1. day 1 2. Monthly 3. MTX 4. DLC But the fact is all 4 are drilling into a previously untapped monetary stream, not an infinite one, but a rapidly deflating one, as you lose non-whales your game requires more effort to float, and whales lose interest. Because Consoles have at least 3 tiers to entry, your inflated game prices cut into system sales, as your system cost increases your games demand more perfection, as your streaming costs increase your online integration becomes less acceptable or desired. MTX tricks consumers into financial mistakes, when you eventually remove the game and it cost the same as a console or 2 investment people are unlikely to afford another console, instead opting for cheaper mobile slop or a skipped generation. It simply cannot be budgeted Live service without goodwill, which is what MMO's of the past had, but AAA does not.

@@michaellane5381 Very true. Tehy are all part of the same root though, which is the point I was making about MMOs and mobile games as well.

Black dudes and rap. A white woman's tale.

[@Mika-Fresh]

One thing that everyone is overlooking is the fact that Vivendi tried taking over Ubisoft. So what if this was all a ploy to intentionally drop the share price enough to enable Yves to buy more stock to solidify his status as majority shareholder to prevent anyone from taking over, ever again?

[@Hardcorakias]

Mmmmm if it ends up to be like you say then I must admit it is a brilliant move.

[@blagd]

I would pay to play "50 Cent Presents - Out 4 Revenge: Hunt 4 Da Diddler"

[@elena_m19]

last time a huge developer fell it was Sega

[@DaakkuuYRS]

Sega fell hard, yeah, but a few years later they've created Yakuza, their best franchise IMO. Then they added some brilliant games such as Bayonetta, Valkyria Chronicles, and all of Atlus. Who knows, maybe Ubisoft can do that as well.

[@linkvagar2336]

Not really comparable. They only fell from the hardware race. They always had fantastic IP's to fall back on.

[@znubionek]

THQ

[@Oggre]

Everyone forgot Avatar Frontiers of Pandora which also under performed...

[@Particle_Ghost]

The Force Unleashed 1 and KOTOR 1 are the only two Star Wars games I really keep installed. Fallen Order was cool but I never felt compelled enough to replay it and the story was absolutely boring, but it's an absolute masterpiece when compared to the newest game lol .

[@benjammin105123]

Back in the day nobody paid attention to what company made what game. Kinda weird we do now.

[@samuraivader3814]

Thanks for the good news.

[@arcticridge]

Fall of the AAA companies, Rise of the Indie Devs!

[@mercurrius]

Sorry the name Ubisoft sounds like a stool softener lol.

[@MadfireMonkey]

Ubisoft puts rap music in the trailers for every Assassins Creed game

[@Legendalvin]

Microsoft doesn’t even bother to buy UBI at 1B 😂 not worth it.

[@barcster2003]

To be honest it's not.

[@linkvagar2336]

Well, it kinda would be, because they would get their full cloud streaming rights back in Europe.

[@barcster2003]

@linkvagar2336 actually I'm pretty sure that's why they won't buy Ubisoft that was a deal to let them get Activision

[@weatherfox1]

I think they still might

[@ApostleOfZeus199]

They'll feel what Sony had with Bungie recently lol

[@Jabberwocky4k]

Hold up, I just need to say congrats on 500k. That's a great milestone to achieve and here's your first big Million Subs!

[@OmniFluxX]

8:28 yea this also cracked me up because the 808 beats with yasuke was actually WILD if this aint immersion breaking idk what is

[@jimmyv3170]

Honestly the beats don't bother me because the character was already put in there by Ubisoft in bad faith and not to tell a good story. It also doesn't help that their source for the character is some white guy who made all of it up in books he wrote and edits he made on Wikipedia using his own books as the source lol

[@OmniFluxX]

@@jimmyv3170 I agree with the bad faith thing. Ubisoft was trying really hard to justify his being there as opposed to wow the consumers with the supposed top notch gameplay features they had. Any company that spends their time fighting about anything other than what their product offers will always be in bad faith imo

[@barrysmith4610]

Outlaws should just have been Star Wars 1313 finally being brought to life

[@NB-mb5mq]

From Ubisoft to Bi-Soft.

[@NB-mb5mq]

R.I.P Far Cry

[@matulis4eber853]

UBISOFT should be comfortable gamers not buying their games

[@eriknewton4656]

it makes me sad to see ubisoft fall so far because i had a lot fun playing ac 2 odyssey, rayman and other games but they brought this on themselves. i get annoyed with developers and publishers accusing the fans of sexism and racism card when they criticize something. people don't have a problem with characters being black or trans, or whatever as long as they are well written, what people get annoyed with is game developers trying to push a social agenda and political bullshit instead of trying to deliver a fun experience. i could care less if a video game character is gay, black or whatever as long as they are well written and the game play is fun and it makes sense for the game. its like just focus on making a fun experience and game play and people will support the game but when you try to force an agenda and the game isn't fun to play and overpriced no one is going to buy it. attacking the customer for not liking something will never end well for the buisness as ubisoft is finding out the hardway.

[@Dewdrop0-6]

Totally agree.

[@VR-gs9hd]

It's by design. All laid-off people are now dependent on the state.

[@p3rrypm]

Stop focusing on the game, it isn’t the game, they’re a symptom.

[@adams521]

Ubisoft should have pulled out of outlaws as soon as disney said it had to be safe and the protagonist couldnt use violence or act like an actual outlaw.

[@SweetBabylnc]

Click 7:55 to hear RGT say Dooh Dooh

[@iamgreenmario4067]

Take the L Ubi, pray you survive and then come back producing products with quality void out of forced DEI BS

[@juliusceasar100bc2]

Go woke get broke

[@captaincrunch1707]

Lol, I had assumed that Skull Bones was just a small studio project but it’s rumored to have been a $200 million dollar budget. We can also guess that Avatar flopped horribly too . They are looking at four consecutive AAA flops with a $50 side scroller sandwiched among them. PoP likely also sold horribly . Terrible pricing and poor management by Ubi & devs

[@markadams5009]

Ahem.... Ubisoft proudly announced Skull & Bones as a AAAA title. 😂

[@saiyanspirits]

DEI is where games go to DIE

[@thefella131]

This is so sad. Why couldn't it happen to a company that for instance has micro transactions,calls the games they release AAAA,charge over $130 for a game, release games that have Terrible AI, Set up a business model for woman only, and tell gamers to get used to not owning their games .? 😊
