Can we ban game companies from using the word „players“ as a metric for success?

It‘s probably 10k copies sold and the rest played it on Ubisoft+ for a few minutes or so.

It's very telling how little control the shareholders have over the company that they haven't been forced to disclose actual sales and revenue numbers.

Like others, I was gonna ask how they plan to do this after closing the studio that made it, but according to the article that's not quite what happened.
In a follow-up statement to Eurogamer, the game's senior producer Abdelhak Elguess confirmed "most" of the team had "shifted to other projects that will benefit from their expertise".

Although given how aggressively mid The Lost Crown was they might be better letting a completely different team have a crack at any sequels.

Apparently they really did sell just over a million, but beyond that you're pretty much right. From the article:
The Lost Crown sold 1.3m copies in its first year, with overall players now reaching over two million thanks to its inclusion on Ubisoft's subscription and PS Plus

I bought the game for 15 bucks and I'd say that's a fair price for the amount of content, but I personally thought it was a pretty shit metroidvania and should have been sold for less than 10.

Probably would have sold much better with an RRP in that range instead of the preposterous 40 bucks Ubisoft wanted at launch.

THE TIME HAS COME

Upcoming Asscreed:
Jade – Jade is an Assassin’s Creed game set in China and is suppose to be the next Assassin’s Creed game to release.

Invictus – Invictus is the working title for an Assassin’s Creed ‘Fall Guys’ inspired game, where players will complete in matches of 16 players. If Invictus aligns with internal expectations, there’s around a 5 year plan for support and updates already pencilled in.

Obsidian – Assassin’s Creed Blackflag Remake – Rebuilt in the new Anvil engine. Obsidian is expected to launch around the same time as Invictus.

Hexe – Originally codenamed Neo, Assassin’s Creed Hexe (still a working name), is scheduled to release after Shadow’s support ends. Shadows is scheduled to have around 2 years of DLC support and Hexe will have 1 year of DLC support.

Scarlet – Scarlet is the next big RPG after Shadows and will release after Hexe support ends (1 year). I haven’t been able to pinpoint further details on what this game is, but it has been greenlit and has entered production. My speculation is that it’s Assassin’s Creed Nebula, which is a game that will take place in three different settings: India, the Mediterranean, and the Aztec Empire.

Stardust – Stardust is Ubisoft’s second remake in development and will enter production following Obsidian’s release. It’s currently unclear on what the remake is.

Emerald – Emerald will launch shortly after Stardust (within a couple of months) and will be another multiplayer title with at least a 5 year plan if the game releases and meets internal expectations. This could be the PvE game previously under the codename “Raid” or the other multiplayer game under ‘Echoes’. It appears at the very least that one of those games have been cancelled.

RPG3 – RPG3 currently does not have an assigned codename, developer, or theme, but is pencilled in to release after Scarlet’s two years of support.

Remake3 – Remake3 currently does not have an assigned codename, developer, or game, but will be a remake that will release approximately 1 year after RPG3’s release.

Note – Assassin’s Creed Netflix game, codenamed Mask, has likely been cancelled.

NFTs still exist?

Not really. The NFT market these days is basically dead. According to coinbase it has a current estimated market cap of ~5bil, which sounds good until you realise that the peak market when Ubi started in on the NFT grift was ~600 bil.

In other Ubi news today is a big day for the Division. New manhunt mission, new exotic with the climax version, new endless mode for the season pass. Sure hope they don't fuck it up:

The absolute and unironic state as per usual.

Is Div 2 even worth playing at this point? I've been considering diving back in to try and grind out an Exotic/build that I was making for the memes - still got my old copy - but I'm genuinely not sure at this point.

Personally I'd say yes. Despite all the shit I give it the core gameplay is still pretty fun. The new DLC comes out on the 27th and until then there's a crazy event where once you max the season pass at 100 you can then endlessly grind levels with each one granting a specific cache. More importantly half the caches you earn have a chance to drop Regulus/Eagle bearer/Ravenous/Ouroborous for those who haven't/don't want to do the raids.

Wish I'd known earlier; I'd have already grinded out those levels to try and get the caches. Those Exotics are the ones I'm missing; I used to try and collect the Exotics when I played the game a ton, but after they started locking stuff behind the raids I kinda gave up on that - believe me, I tried, but trying to coordinate a team just to get a small chance at grabbing a gun quickly got frustrating. There's a very good chance I'll be leveling up the pass as fast as possible, then.
 
Random question for my curiousity on the subject of Francophones: Are there any Belgian game studios?
