Ubisoft Sellout - Bankruptcy Speedrun Any% Thread

realistically no one is going to want as a fucking shooter on a phone since it isn't colorful slop bullshit like fortnite or apex
In July 2024, the title generated approximately 29.79 million U.S. dollars in IAP revenue. Cumulative app gross amounted to nearly 1.6 billion U.S. dollars since release.
Activision Blizzard’s Q2 2023 financial results have revealed that Call of Duty: Mobile, their handheld spin-off of the popular shooter franchise, has raked in $3bn in lifetime revenue since it was launched in 2019.
pick whatever you want to believe, but there's certainly a market for it...

That's the point. Replacing Yasuke changes very little about AC Shadows. It's still be the same shallow Ubislop game that's been repackaged for the last decade and change.
the problem isn't the formula, the problem is the scope, bloat and middling quality. what other game offers what asscreed does (casually running around in a semi-realistic historical setting) with that budget?
asscreed these days is too bloated, written too annoying and simply "too big" for it's own good. it's part of the ubisofts general incompetence that no one of the thousands of devs during years of development asked "is this fun?" or "is this too much?". but hey, you can sell xp boosts this way in your singleplayer game! guess the few people falling for that shit instead of the ones dropping the series for good makes up for it...

If I had no moral bone in my body, I'd do the same.
it's not about morality, it's about competition. chinese companies, whatever enough retards in the west even in high places want to believe, aren't driven by pure capitalism. cold war is done a few decades now, most people have forgotten what it means to have an opponent that competes with you economically and socially. "dumb chinks" throwing money around for the people in power to overlook it while becoming the manufacturing center of the world makes it easy to think otherwise.

Ghost Recon Breakpoint: cucked by NFTs and shut down immediately thereafter.
wut
breakpoint is still running. NFT also wasn't it's problem, those only got added because the game had already failed at that point. the main reason it cratered because it was a "sequel" to wildlands while trying to be ubisoft's destiny, and in their sheer incompetence couldn't make it work on every level.
except, just think about it for a moment, you take wildland's third person gameplay, take characters like siege, put it in a game like warframe doing shit all over the globe, with a developing story, with ubisoft production values... it would sell itself.

fwiw the post-launch support and fixing was pretty exceptional compared to the rest of the industry. it's still has flaws but it's a pretty solid game these days, especially when you can get it for 20 bucks.
 
Sure, but that's CoD mobile. It is colorful slop bullshit like fortnite and apex.
Half the guns there(probably more, and there's plenty of other categories on that page showing off skins for wingsuits, parachutes backpacks, the fucking grenades have skins) are rainbow vomit, with one literally being shaped like a unicorn.

Meanwhile r6 mobile, this shit is tame by comparison
And they recently realized they needed to start adding unicorn vomit skins

I understand the hatred for glittery guns and shit, but glittery shit != Gay. They are trying to appeal to a female audience, which I dont personally have a problem with. If it was literally just a gay flag (the modern one a rainbow doesn't count rainbows have existed since the Earth had water) then I'd have more of an issue.
 
30% in layoffs?

How the fuck does the stock market work exactly? Why do they need to keep thousands of useless staff in the company just because they are publicly traded?

I'm not trolling, genuine question.

I didn't say glittery shit was gay, and I didn't say anything about what audience it might be trying to appeal to other than people who want brightly colored shit like fortnite and apex.

But trying to appeal to a female audience? CoD has had colorful gun skins in it for years. CS has a whole grey market economy over it. Not sure it ever had anything to do with trying to appeal with women.

1. I'm glad we agree on the major issues
2. Just because something doesn't succeed in its goal, doesn't mean they did not try.

At the end of the day every big business that has their name on the stock market wants to make the line go up.
When the majority of your players are the +/- 50 percent of people, you ask yourself "how can i get the rest?"
Its not a question of values but one of pure monetary gain, and if they see an angle they will take it.

What the fuck are you talking about?
 
I'm saying I agree that glittery skins are garbage and fuck up the tone of the game, but they are only a result of marketing people trying to appeal to people that don't immediately like the game.

CoD Mobile needs to recruit more players, and that's how they do it, despite how the established user base might feel.

AC Mirage: was supposed to be a grand return to form, ended up being boring and empty. Didn't sell anywhere near as well as Valhalla despite the tidal wave of criticism that game received.
Except the game was made on pennies because all the heavy lifting was done during Valhalla's development. Valhalla made a fuckton of money but it cost a fuckton of money to make as well. Looking at their financial info they put out, Mirage might have done better than Valhalla when costs are accounted for. Valhalla was the second best selling game in the company's history but they were barely able to break one-hundred million in net income. It is no surprise about the rumor that the first order of business when Tencent and the family buys them is firing the majority of the staff.
 
Yes, the game is remembered mainly because how crazy and wacky Vaas was acting and died in the first half so you can play the exact same game again on the second island. I could list a few more positives here and there but overall game is ridiculously empty and repetitive. So many plot points require you to suck it up that this isn't an RPG. You have to "feel" sorry about making decisions you have absolutely no control over, like cheating whore gf, lost tortured friend and there are gotta be more but I don't remember the game much either. I completely checked out of the game when the game forced me to leave 2 chicks with a very creepy dude that had history of drugging people.

But the worst part was how total fucking bullshit every set piece was with Vaas where he had every chance and intention to kill you but either doesn't or leaves before confirming the kill or FUCKING LIGHTER gets in his way and people praise this retard that's bested by a FUCKING LIGHTER. First I laughed for a moment until I realize all this corny retarded tropy bullshit was supposed to be serious.

Gun customization was utter trash, stealth was even worse. Didn't play a Far Cry game after that but apparently it got worse and honestly that's the most impressive shit ubislop pulled in the last decade.
Congratulations, you are the first person i have ever seen to be so fucking retarded he unironically got filtered by far cry 3 of all things
 
They might mandate even more niggers in their games. China knows what is happening to the dieversified west (shorthand roof korean meme) and even now is exploiting it and trying to metastasize it.
Bit retarded really. Chinks probably will put less niggers in bc then every retard will go "WHOA BASED CHINA? I LOVE THE CCP! LETS SELL MORE STUFF TO THEM"
 
RIP in piss Eve Queermo, if your entire bloodline ceased to exist tomorrow the world would be so much better for it but you losing money is a good start.

The NFTs were the last thing they did. Breakpoint failed because they turned Ghost Recon into a looter shooter.
You can turn that off. Breakpoint failed because the market was saturated and the setting was bland. The game it's self is fine, I prefer the gameplay to Wildlands.
 
From Stevy Chassard, Ubisoft's Monetization Director. Wants you gamers to stop spreading "hate", and laments you won't buy because he does not make games that "cater to you or please you."

Do a flip faggot. That "Monetization Director" even exists as a role is proof enough that half the industry should burn.
