[@jackbrassington3489]

Is it me or does Ubisoft feel like it devolved into the embodiment of generic

[@goddamnarshia]

They popularized all the tropes in moder games, but instead of developing it from there and constantly creating new ideas, they stuck HEAVILY to these tropes, thus creating products that look ai-made because of how generic and soulless they all feel. Zero care for the "art" of making video games , just repeat the formula thought at game making school forever

That said i feel like their games have been declining since late 2010's to 2020's due to skilled developers being fired for some short-term gain for executives pockets and hiring people with little experience to fill in the void so they won't have to pay them that much.

[@mediumsurmoon6283]

It baffles me, why? Just why? why would these companies risk their success when it is literally known to cause backlash and lose money? Is there some kind of hidden agenda we’re not aware of, dictated by the black gays and trans or something? I mention these groups in particular because if these DEI and ESG stuff are supposed to be all-inclusive, then why are they so adamant on excluding straight male and white people? And why do they call Asians “white adjacent” if it’s truly inclusive? When there’s blatant racism, misandry, and xenophobia. And this feels more like a supremacy movement-similar to how modern feminism has been twisted compared to its original voting-rights era in the 1800s and 1900s. I still don’t get it, and it frustrates me. Now, even Games Workshop and their Warhammer 40k franchise have fallen to this BS. It’s sad, and there’s absolutely nothing we can do but be apathetic, and hope the executives would pull their decisions before it goes ass over tits like Marvel.

Ubisoft has lost nearly a billion dollars in poor game sales this year. Their stock price is at an all time low and reaches a new all time low almost weekly. Their major investors a doing an in house investigation on Ubisoft management to find out what's going on. A separate group of investors are calling for other investors to buy out the company. The Stop Killing Games campaign was the catalyst that forced Ubisoft's terrible business practices into the spotlight. And if successful will send shock waves through the gaming industry. (Note: we still need more signatures, please sign the European Citizens Initiative if you're a EU citizen.) Ubisoft is part of another separate EU investigation into the egregious use of micro transactions in video games. And their main headquarter office is currently haveing a worker strike.

[@rhinostar3825]

I think the gaming industry is going to hit a wall soon. Too many studios are making the same mistakes and now with games like elden ring, black wukong, space marine 2 and helldivers 2 showing what players / customers want, it really makes you think who is making these decisions at the upper management. Like for real now, does any one of them have any form of common sense? Because it feels like more and more studios I grew up with are getting more shit the bigger they get. It makes no sense to me how the correlation makes games this bad. Sadly this might be something natural now for gaming studios. Most studios who are the biggest but still the best at making games are only at 50 to 300 devs, excluding rockstars.

BlackRock dissolved ESG funds a year or two ago, so companies no longer receives funding for being "woke" all these projects are *highly* uprofitable, and only external funding not tied to game sales would do the incentive to create more of these, ahem, "games" there is a great inertia - the production of these failure projects started about a decage ago, so it's really hard to cancel a thing that costed so much money and time to build but ultimately flawed in it's core, also, most publishers and developers are infested with the people not suitable for the job by various reasons, so they literally can't because creative decisions are being made by the people that can't build something good for the life we're essentially in the beginning of second video game market crash, except this time it's mostly digital so no one will be burying video game boxes in a mine shaft this time - no one buys these crap games anymore

Now they are just releasing either forgettable games (Avatar) or straight up flops (Star Wars Outlaws, Skull and Bones). Taking Assassin's Creed franchise to Japan was their easy 'Get out of jail free' card, since fans have asked for it for a decade. And Ubisoft still managed to fumble the bag on that. Instead of giving us a cool traditional Japanese samurai experience with AC trademark open world, they wasted it to virtue signal with a hysterical figure no one asked for.

[@crazynoob159]

It’s sad how Ubisoft used to be known for making consistently good games Now they’re just known as Ubislop lol

[@lingricen8077]

*5 weeks ago* Ubisoft is finished! *4 weeks ago* Ubisoft is REALLY finished! *3 weeks ago* Ok, this time for real, UBISOFT IS DONE! *2 weeks ago* Oh gees oh gees Ubisoft is most definitely COOKED this time! *1 week ago* Now, for reals, most definitely, Ubisoft is OVER! *now* This video title.

[@30-06Lover]

well, these are the days of the fall of ubisoft

[@adity-m2g]

Look at their stock prices

[@tyraelpl]

Frankly i cant wait for how this ends.

[@mohamadgamal]

Hopefully ubisoft being a lesson and bad example to any lazy game company doesn't focus on games

[@fabianweber6937]

Rainbow Six Vegas was the first FPS I ever played back then as a kid I was amazed of how good the game was and the tactical things you could do. Sad they keep milking Rainbow Six Siege instead of releasing a new single player one.

[@brodysdaddy]

Forgot division homeland

[@Shrekthethird123]

I know this might seem confusing, but i think the hiring requirements for game teams should include that you should be able to make your own indie game. I think this would atleast prevent game teams like the ones at ubisoft who can barely type the command “hello world”

[@chrislynch2156]

Don’t build a game with micro transactions in mind.

[@bindogaming791]

With greed in mind

[@nandinhocunha440]

They spent years on a game and that game isn't even finished and tell us "if you don't like it, don't buy" and blame us for wanting to play their crappy game

[@Lonely.wolf03]

Only thing i want them to do is selling splinter cell ip to a good studio, other than that they can go to hell

[@rechelieu]

You are speaking my mind. Can Sam Fisher extricate himself from this nightmare scenario? It could be one of the chapters in this new SC game developed by people who care.

[@shivdoesmusic937]

Pop too

[@gamerf1141]

​@@rechelieulet's not forget ghost recon. ubisoft has better time selling there games to an American based company.

[@LyuboA]

Yes we been saying this for the last 8 years but no one is listening the same how Playstation is now Completely Gone and Dead and instead we have Gaystation and Subscription Service Based Business model that Pushes the WOKE Degeneracy Agenda with Full Steam Ahead btw we would've gotten Ghost of Tsushima 2 it was in production but Playstation DEI Management decided the game needed a Female Protagonist so the Scrapped Ghost of Tsushima 2 and started making Ghost of Yotei or what ever it's called during this time almost all Ghost of Tsushima devs and Writers left Playstation just like what happened with Bend Studio after Days Gone and the same even Happened with Gorilla after Horizon Zero Dawn but not that many left there back then but they left now after Forbidden West and Gay Aloy wonder why

[@SnootEnthusiast]

Why Ubisoft decided to release that new garbage PoP over the Sands of Time remaster/remake (whatever it was) is just baffling to me. I know a lot of people are tired of remakes and whatnot these days, but Prince of Persia Sands of Time is a classic and deserves so much better treatment.

[@raidenstark4964]

HAVE YOU EVEN PLAYED THE "GARBAGE" POP game? It's actually the best Ubisoft game in years! Sands of Time Remake is in progress and wait till 2026-27 for it to release

[@goddamnarshia]

The pop is actually the best game they've made in a long time. Only problem with it is you play an African man with a world of warcraft name and killmonger haircut instead of you know...a persian...if not a persian prince There's of course also the price tag. Hollow knight goes for 15

[@stevenbishop1782]

​@@raidenstark4964Prince of Persia remake was announced in 2020, its not happening mate neither the Splinter Cell remake. Also they cancelled the Fenyx Rising sequel which was actually good if you shrink the hud ui nonsense.

[@avramnovorra]

Gotta say, it feels surreal to me that this is happenong to Ubisoft even though i know it's been on the decline for as long as it has. Considering i just finished the OG Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, which was fantastic and i just bought both The Warrior Within and Two Thrones, seeing Ubislop where it is now feels like a dream

[@welton9748]

I didn't knew Killmonger hairdo was popular in Persia too 🤦‍♂️

[@lol_histicall4289]

7:20 tbh AC Shadows has a chance they gotta remove and fix a lot of things but from the gameplay I’ve seen the stealth is promising if they really wanna save their company they gotta pull a sonic movie and revamp everything cause again I would love to be an assassin finally being able to hide in darkness which I just realized no assassins creed ever has had that feature the potential is there but realistically they’re cooked

[@dimitrisfloros7899]

YOU FORGOT THE LACK OF RAYMAN GET HIM OUT OF THE BASEMENT UBISOFT

[@preng2355]

I doubt Arab prince will bought the ubisoft the only options is selling their IPs

[@jadthemagnificent]

Huh?

[@slippy9251]

You should talk about the mistakes Sony has been making recently. The failure of Concord, Aquiring companies without profiting, the PS5 Pro, remasters for game that were not warranted or wanted.

[@jonprice3342]

Does anyone hear that? Silence in the room whenever a video game is mentioned. That's because it's just me and the game which is fine for when I'm gaming but for the thrill and the hype I used to turn to E3, Gamescom and Tokyo Game Show to be part of this community that would be in awe of the awesome games that were coming out. There'll be this buzz surrounding upcoming game's and everyone felt it, it was electric. Now it's just me and the game. There's no buzz, no incentive to buy and I have a complete lack of knowledge about the games I want to have an interest in. These developer's used to sit and talk to jornalists after these major events so they can disect and ciphen every bit of information about their game but again I don't get that with how publisher's are choosing to market the game's. Every game gets a lukewarm reception and every gamer is moody af. Everything seems tame, lacklustre and boring and to me it all stems from when they cancelled all of these big gaming events. Star Wars: Jedi Survivor was a huge hit, same as Hogwarts Legacy but all of those games had hype... we need hype. Ubisoft needs to ditch Assassin's Creed in order for their other games to stand a chance. There's an essence of Assassin's Creed in Division, Watch_Dogs, Far Cry, Avatar and Star Wars whether it be stealth, parkour, liberation missions or with some interwoven storyline.

[@Joe_Mama911]

you know its honestly sad... the only ubisoft game i currently have installed is the division 2 and that feels so far removed from all the bullshit, that is going on at ubisoft. were getting a new seasons model, were heading into year 6, for god sake theres a fully paid brooklyn dlc coming out that will resolve alot of unanwsered questions about the story and characters. the game is still weight down by the season pass model, however evem that feels rewarding and such as the gameplay works very well. wild

[@Jezzio93]

Thats a savage thumbnail. Holding their 2 greatest creations in one hand and their 2 downfalls in the other. Their couldnt be a greater contrast. Amazing

[@grayearly3116]

Who else excited for this IP auction

[@rechelieu]

Splinter Cell goes to......Either hell yeah or hell no!!!!

[@Titaniumdud]

Whoever thought it would be a good idea to release AC Shadows in the same month as Monster Hunter Wilds is cooked💀💀

[@NazzyDragon]

it's cuz it's black history month.. more DEI crap to cover the DEI crap

[@gabrield4892]

It was so they could hide Yasuke behind black history month.

[@r3l1csvk]

and KCD II

[@Jellybean-y2i]

The target audience are different 😂

[@adriantaner7950]

that's really sad honestly! like when does Ubisoft notice that riding the ESG train has netted them nothing besides hate from the only community that plays games... white young males (ofc others too but this is predominant group) I think with a revert from yasuke to a real character from Japan maybe and stating this, numbers will soar! focusing on weapons and combat feel, having a fleshed out story without map markers everywhere like just take cues from maybe BOTW, HZD, decluttering UI, leave the player some autonomy. correcting mistakes which have been mentioned in every review of the last 4 games

[@xzorn2981]

who even are these people , being comfortable with not owning and buying ubi's shit

[@bindogaming791]

I’ve stopped

[@mihinduwijayaratne5367]

2:02 I disagree with the new prince of persia game being a flop. It was smaller game made from a smaller budget and it was a pretty solid metroidvania tbf. Also alot of people assumed they race swapped the prince of persia, when in reality the main character (sargon) is a new character and is a royal guard to the Prince. The haircut was pretty goofy tho ngl.

[@johndodo2062]

Still a flop chief

[@captaincrunch1707]

Flop does not mean it’s a bad game. It’s a decent game that wasn’t priced right , should’ve been $30 at launch .

[@Creeper_ofDoom]

The only good things Ubisoft put out this decade were Immortals Fenyx Rising and Prince of Persia The Lost Crown, Thats it.

[@nikobellic8002]

Pop is poop.

[@ekcman]

Shadow will be ubisoft's Concord

[@bindogaming791]

Assassins creed shadows may be their last chance they better go all in budget on that

[@switch1770]

what you said about the ship of theseu, I think that is true for most large studios. Bungie for instance.

[@YerbaDelDiablo]

Prince of Persia The lost Crown is a cool game with the worst marketing : (

[@Diewux]

Because everything is now owned by private equity, the focus is all about satisfying shareholders. This leads to extracting the most value and hiring management that barely cares about the product itself, focusing instead on financial performance. This is happening with all big corporations. They are soulless, and the main concern of upper management is securing more stock options by outsourcing cheap labor in India, then reporting how much money they've saved to those at the top. It's messed up. The industry has gone too far with capitalism. It’s broken and doesn’t function like it did 30 years ago. That's the main reason indies often create much better games aside from the budget difference. They are passionate about their product, Ubisoft - is not. The problem is so big and systemic, it's not just about the gaming industry. It’s about everything these days. Everything revolves around data, performance, and financial results, but not the idea, passion, or final product. Small companies often bring fresh air into industries, but not for long, because they either get crushed by monopolies with unfair competitive advantages or are bought out, and the cycle continues. It drives me crazy. On top of that, we now have an internet full of AI-generated, average content everywhere. It’s just sad.

[@ALEXACEDEATH]

I always kept wondering what was so controversial about Yasuke... I was confused for a while because it felt like more and more people kept finding out that he was based on a real person... But the moment you said gay, black samurai I just went Ooooooooooh... That'll do it

[@darkkillerx29]

“It is a good life we lead brother, May it never change, and may it never change us” It changed them and it changed

[@ronniefazzio6979]

Prince of Persia the Lost Crown was an excellent game and innovated the Metroidvania genre with the memory shard mechanic.

[@NicCrane]

Too bad I don't want to play as an African twink 🤷‍♂

[@xmqree]

gay black man? aint no way we get lgbt thing again

[@cloaker4213]

does this mean R6 will also die? BROTHERS IM FREEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[@eXe_47]

I say it so often - "modern audience" not buy Games. And Greed eats Brain. Thats what you get when you put all the bs in Games, who nobody ask for and nobody wants. What did they "think"? Not too much, thats for sure. And the Players give them Money for too long time. Now every one seems to get a wakeup call. They all can close the Doors. We need Devs who make great Games, not greedy folks who try to squeez the last drop out of the customers.

[@GodOfOrphans]

I hate how despite karma finally seeming to catch up with these corpos I just can't take any schaudenfreud over it all I can think about is everything lost or that will be lost as karma gets to work, it's a situation were ultimately everyone loses except the infestors who caused the problem they either already have a golden parachute ready or are just happy to have destroyed something.

[@zereaux56]

The only good games from U B Soft in recent years were the two Mario+Rabbids games and that's only cuz Nintendo was breathing down their necks for them.
