The art style (the purple prince crap looking color palette) really killed interest in the game. Even after fixing it I think the damage was too far gone. Considering it was also made by the people that made Dead Cells..... I think most people just ended up playing Dead Cells instead.
The price too for what you got. Absolute bullshit.
I hate Chinese game industry because of how creatively bankrupt they are, but if this is what it takes for the western one to wake up and fix their shit, then I can accept it
Niggers Creed did so well that they had to sell themselves to the CCP to keep the doors open.
Wish the chinks would just let it die.
Does that mean that Tencent owns a share of those Ubisoft IPs or Tencent owns a part of Ubisoft itself?
How did "Let it die, kill it if you have to" become the most based line in star wars.
Tencent already owns part of Ubisoft. They also now own a part of the new company that owns a perpetual license to make titles with those three IP, though it has to pay royalty fees to Ubisoft to do so.
There's a lot of weasel words being used. "Sales by revenue" can mean a lot of things, especially given the price hikes since the series started. Member when the first game cost $50 in 2007? The fact that they continue to use "players" is also suspicious. What constitutes a sale is not what you may think as well. Also they count sales if they sold to retail stores, even if your local Gamestop hasn't sold them.
Claims like that without substantive numbers are always lies.
No but the longer they wait the more likely Guillemon buys out a controlling interest and takes the company private. It was probably game of chicken between tencent and the guillemon family. watching the price tick further and further down.
agreed. i expected a lot better than 25%, OTOH a billion euros is fuck all, thats only double the cost of that Skull and Bones game ubisoft released last year. valuation wise it means this new company is about half the size of CD porjkect red, which takes years to release games.
I wouldn't say non-mobile gaming are dying when the industry with the most mobile of all, China, is trying to pivot to big-budget games like Wukong. This on top of their big mobile games now also playable on PC and Consoles. If mobile really is still the future, then why Tencent is still insistent on buying Ubisoft? That's because everybody know both the prestige and long-run economy are not in mobile but PC and Console
The Chinese don't give a fuck. They are among the most bugmen consoomers on the planet so if anything Tencent's influence will mean forcing Ubisoft to stuff even more pay-to-win crap in their games than already exists.
I am certain there is some book-cooking going on with their Ubisoft+ subscription service, the same way Microsoft uses Game Pass to fluff up their 'record levels of engagement'.
