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.
The way they word that is amazing, you can’t really fluff that up anymore. Looks like they expect it to bomb.
I don’t know if there’s a combination of words that has less content, or destroys any hope left for the game more thoroughly than what they chose. Never could I have imagined that one sentence would manage to bottom out both categories at once. Give my compliments to the
chefMBA!
A game set in Japan releasing on March 20 is like a game set in America releasing on September 11
Doesn’t sound like a problem to me?
Sounds like they’re adding microtransactions, buy your pack of 500 jumps, get 100 vaults for free! Also Denuvo.
Sounds right, fuck the players.
Yea, I couldn’t care less what the shareholders want. The point of a product is to be good for the purchaser. Once you take your focus off making a good product, you’re through.
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.

But think about the shareholders! Now they cannot afford that fourth yacht. How will they survive?
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?
personally i would be willing to pay 15 cents for them
Wasn’t a delay announced a few days ago? Is this the same delay or was it pushed back even further?
Same delay. This is the 2nd delay of this game.
the wording of that announcement evokes a similar feeling to how i write things when im nearing the end of a project, experiencing extreme crunch, and begging for the sweet release of the deadline finally approaching. i’m in a trance like state during those times, barely conscious, barely coherent, just doing what i need to in order to reach tomorrow.
i can imagine there are a lot of people at ubisoft right now experiencing something similar. do not mistake this for empathy. i don’t know what im saying.
Shit show of a game and a company.
Not doubting it but is there a source besides Bluesky? I know he’s a game journalist but I can’t link a quote
Thanks!
