The way they word that is amazing, you can’t really fluff that up anymore. Looks like they expect it to bomb.
They’re going to holistically synergize the market capitalization to optimize a paradigm shift for shareholders.
They expect it to bomb and they’re going to flood it with microtransactions and vague “AI-enhanced fetch quests” or some bullshit.
They’re not trying to make a better user experience, squash bugs, or polish the story, they’re “extracting value” - I’d stay far away from this one folks.

This has been true of Ubisoft for many years. I’m glad they’re saying it out loud now though.
“Please stand by, the game’s finished but we need to find new ways to manipulate you suckers into spending more.”
A game set in Japan releasing on March 20 is like a game set in America releasing on September 11
Sounds like they’re adding microtransactions, buy your pack of 500 jumps, get 100 vaults for free! Also Denuvo.
Sounds right, fuck the players.
There is absolutely no reason to buy a Ubisoft game anymore, or from any large studio that is trying to appease shareholders first and foremost. They aren’t making games for you to have fun with; they’re making games to extract as much money from you as possible. Instead of giving you fun quests and characters, they are behind the scenes trying to figure out how to manipulate you. Fuck that noise. The last game I paid full AAA price for was Elden Ring because From deserves my money.
At this point, it is better to let Ubisoft die. It is so interested in raising it’s share prices, it has alienated it’s customers. Now it refuses to learn from it too.
Ubisoft is going to go bunkrupt or private this year, selling their most valuable assets. I say good riddance. I only hope we yet get to play Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era (Unfrozen is the dev but Ubi is punlisher and IP owner) and Anno 117: Pax Romana. Also wonder who will buy these IPs. Tencent?
Yeah. Making games should always about providing value for shareholders. Not about making a good game
Almost like shareholders would get value if they focused on making good games. Make good product, people buy, shareholder money go up. Why do we have to keep explaining that to them?
Wasn’t a delay announced a few days ago? Is this the same delay or was it pushed back even further?
That bad, huh?
Thank goodness its not on a date that would cause more controversy with the Japanese people…What’s this 30th anniversary about,Tokyo subway sarin attack? They literally cannot stop foot shooting
Nintendo, a Japanese company, is releasing Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition on the same day. Every day is the anniversary of a tragedy somewhere.
Sure, but Xenoblade isn’t about Japanese historical events. It’s a little too on-the-nose with Assassin’s Creed.
1579 vs 1995? That’s a huge stretch.
Extracting value… Lol. :)
Is the CEO trying to short the stock or are they just that out of touch?
@Excrubulent @nanoUFO This is Ubisoft. It could easily be both.
