Ubisoft Are Deservingly Imploding

  • Ubisoft have been rewarded for mediocrity over the last decade or so but it seems their house of cards is now collapsing.
    Players are skipping out on their games with a number of high-profile releases failing (Avatar, XDefiant, Star Wars Outlaws, Skull & Bones to name a few) and now they're under pressure, especially with their investors.
    This has happened for a number of reasons. DEI related practises are a big one, both in terms of internal company culture which has of course found its way into the games themselves.
    The conveyor belt style of game design that they have is the other obvious problem. We've been getting versions of Assassin's Creed 2 & Far Cry 3 for the last 10 years with very little serious innovation and it feels like that has caught up with them.
    Their biggest problem? All these failures have come at once and their development pipeline is probably full of all the same sorts of games. It could take years for them to course correct in the publics eyes and I wonder if they'll actually survive that long...

    Another thing that might come across as racist, is the idea of how exactly these people from different ethnic backgrounds introduce 'different cultures' to the project. Like, if they grew up in the United States, then their culture is American. What the heck does Ubisoft think black people are doing in their spare time? Dressing up in African style robes, banging on drums and channeling the spirits of their ancestors?

But why I say let them do it, so we as men, will also have the rights to start our own companies and hire only men and people that we know and trust, so let them have it, let them do this and let's watch it sink, these people don't deserve our money and our respect.
    And also, Ubisoft is done, don't you ever buy any future products they made, show to them that we don't care about it anymore, let them go bankrupt.

Everyone knows there are consumers that will buy and eat up anything these low talents corps can dish out. Announcing it loud and proud just isn't a good look but you do you. And who will take offense from someone laughing in their face because they enjoy mediocrity. I might feel a little sorry for you but it won't hurt my feelings laugh away.

    Maybe it's just because Ubisoft has never made the kind of games that I personally like to play, even a decade ago, but every time I saw their games, whether it was marketing like trailers or gameplay footage they always looked uninteresting and even boring to me. And of course their DEI initiatives makes me even less enthusiastic about them. Ubisoft deserves whatever is coming to them.
    I expected that Assassins' Creed: Shadows is going to sell well because it's another Assassins' Creed title and most consumers just buy AAA-games because it's the newest entry to their favorite franchise not knowing, or caring, about whatever controversies it has on the internet. But after Star Wars: Outlaw's poor performance, despite being a Star Wars game, I dare speculate that maybe Shadows will sell less than expected/hoped as well.

    Valhalla had excellent combat and skill tree, and solid game world. Shame they did not go further that road, as Mirage was bland trash. Mirage was more polished than any other new Ubi project tho. Outlaws felt and looked like they did not even bother with quality control, because if any of Ubi's big wigs had actually bothered to playtest the game after it went gold, they would've definitely delayed the launch by coupla months at the least.
