But now times aren't good and People aren't willing to do that. When you don't know where your next $70 bucks is coming from you're not going to spend it on a Buggy, Broken, DEI riddled mess you're going to spend it on food, gas or add it to the rent.

And all we had to do was not buy their products.

[@Deathwalker666666]

Thats because as far as gaming industry goes the contradiction to general opinion is that even big publishers are expendable because gaming on whatever platform will buy what they want and not what company want. And Ubisoft is not the girst publisher to go under.

There's a lot of money around for sure, but gamers are also very clear about what they like. Especially the group that has money but no time.

[@takashinomura8052]

Am I slow or something? I don`t get it, from where I see it, the developers are getting exactly what they want. "Don`t like it, don`t buy it", "it is not made for you", "aimed at the `modern audience`", the only part I get is, if nobody want your product, you don`t make money and antagonizing the source of income is a bad idea.

[@PopCultureCat]

In the end the "modern audience" seems to be a few hundred people. Great market for $200M+ games.

[@seanmcclure]

The plan is and always has been to stall long enough for the current generation to become the past generation. To change the gaming culture by conditioning the kids to buy what they are selling when they come of age.

[@itisabird]

That sounds like a bad plan, to be honest. Specially when there are plenty of smaller studios that make better games without all their woke cr*p.

[@ops7917]

A typical generation spans nearly 3 decades. You reckon today's kids are hanging around being conditioned? They will always be the minority, the parents hold the wallets at the end of the day.

inb4 anyone tries to defend Tencent, there are no independent companies in China. It's by law over there that any company with more than 50 employees to also employ a CCP representative. They're also arms of the party, following strategic moves in conjunction with the party's initiatives. It's really not a place you want to willingly submit your personal information to, which unfortunately will apparently also include Ubisoft.

[@kreese-yi2nb]

Exactly. Black Myth Wukong enjoyers should really be wary here. Which does not change the fact Ubisoft brought everything happening to them now on themselves. A string of baffling decisions through the years (those including hefty infusion of woke) just cumulated at current point. No wonder sharks are circling already.

[@HickoryChip0]

Tencent is a communist company anyone who defends them is in denial

[@AppleyardAndy]

The issue is that it IS a loud and vocal minority that we hear. Everybody else just walks away without saying WHY they're leaving. Using the fast food analogy it would be like McDonald's selling rancid burgers and everyone walking out without saying anything. You need someone, even if they are only a minority, to tell you what's wrong so you can fix it.

[@c0d3warrior]

Is there anything that entices a potential customer to want or need this game, does it offer something new? Is there any interesting background to this character say, if she had even a homosexual relationship with Dr Aphra (just throwing that out there), I don't think fans would really care, it's just that there has to be something worth the price tag for this game. Maybe that means the video game market is oversaturated right now?
