Of all the embarrassing fumbles Ubisoft took, getting Hasan of all people to shill your game is the worst one. What's next, Vaush is gonna get a copy and stream it, too? Actually, if you can ride a horse in this one, maybe he will be interested.

Not only that. It's a promocode link. Meaning Hasan gets a cut, and probably a big cut for him to shill it.

My biggest fear is that, once Gabe passes, his heirs will immediately do stupid shit like take the company public for a massive wealth pump. Hopefully, he's groomed them into proper family businessmen, and not retarded MBAs.

not to be mean but Steam really doesn't do all too much, i'm sure Gabe could just tell his kids "let it run itself, but never let it go public" and they could just live off Gabe's billions for generations. from a quick wiki check i guess he's been living at sea for years.
 
Wow, new record...

Only 10% of players what Monster Hunter: Wilds got... :lit:

Wrong
Steam IS the primary platform on PC and a lot of Steam users are very rabid about it, to the point they refuse to use any other launcher. If anything, Ubislop still insisting on using their own launcher (even if you buy it on steam, you still have to use ubiconnect to launch the game) actually drives people away from their games. Same with Epic, EA's launcher, Battle.Net and all the others.

Look at Epic: 300 million users, but in 2024 they only spent 1 billion dollars in the store and only 255 million dollars on third party games (a minus of 15% compared to 2023!) because everybody just grabs the free games (595 million free games claimed in 2024), that's a good indicator on how much pc gamers spend on stores outside Steam. Even gog struggles to make any meaningful profit, despite being this niche of old games and being drm-free and whatnot and not relying on a launcher (who uses galaxy anyway?)

Steam's numbers are definitely the best indicator about a game being a success or not. Asassin's Creed Shadow is not a success at all.

Paul Tassi making a Forbes clickbait article on how the Assassin's Creed controversy is "nothing".

Forbes - truly the most "trusted and vetted" of old school VIDEO GAME NERDS. Oy.... lol, this shit is just embarassing. Who do they think they are fooling? Boomers aren't buying these games, though they do buy Forbes rags. So what happens as the Boomers continue to die off? I hope Forbes goes the way of Ubisoft.

Ubisoft has its own launcher, UbiConnect.
Steams does not represent even the entirety of the PC sales.

EDIT: This does not mean I believe the game will be a commercial success. Just that Steam player/peak numbers are useless. We do not know how many actual copies of the game were sold and we will only find out when the investors are told, which could be as late as July for the annual conference. Until then Ubislop will try to frame the numbers they publish in as positive a light as they can to attract more players.

I think as was mentioned before players != Sales, which is to say we don't know how many of these were free codes given with hardware or promo codes for people who they want to have the game, game reviewers, etc.

Not to mention in terms of giants like Ubisoft, EA, 1 million is peanuts, Veilguard gloated with the same message after about 1 week and have since then stranded on around 1.55 million sales before it went to the dollar bin.

In the words of their own CFO, Frederick Duguet, they need around 8 to 10 million to break even for high budget AAA games, AC being their flagship game this is more than likely the case especially including the months of delays.

Unfortunately taking extra time to polish a turd does nothing to mask the smell, and I highly doubt they will break even on this specific turd.

In this case I believe you mentioned before, breaking even will not suffice to fill the gap from their last FY, time will tell but I think this is nothing different than how Veilguard went, they got people to make a lot of noise around the game but most people aren't listening either way or have a (righteous) rage boner towards the game and Ubisoft's practices.

Sell the IP to Asian chuds and hope for better titles in the future, though this is a very optimistic outlook AFAIK
 
I think it's worth keeping in mind that selling Assassin's Creed is marketing on easy mode. It's one the remaining big franchises that manages to print money by launching games (that are broken on launch) every year because niggercattle love fast food, no matter the form it takes. Ubisoft performing a harakiri with a Jap sword made out of blackness and faggotry changed the difficulty level.

The fact that a conversation is even being had about whether one of the annual release juggernauts has flopped is a sign of good things as far as I'm concerned. Journos literally begging people not to notice the controversy just makes it even sweeter. In a just world they'd all lose their jobs and die getting shanked in the streets by the niggers they worship.
 
This game reminds me of rebirth alot.....reviewers glazed it upon release however the public isn't stupid to fall for paid review shilling. And like rebirth I expect it to sell around 2 million. And like rebirth is chock full of dei goodness that consumers flock away from in droves.
 
The relevant clip starts at 20:07. But Ubisoft is setting up a legal taskforce to potentially sue the shit out of their critics "monitor social media and respond quickly to targeted attacks."

So whatever you do, don't go on social media and criticize harass this poor innocent game.
 
If u watch one Legendary Drops vid you've seen them all, had to block this guy on Jewtube because of all of his wake up calls videos, he doesn't know what he's talking about. He's a grifter just like Asmonbald.

Fuck it. I'll go first. I'm having fun with it. I was pleasantly surprised with the 70s esque soundtrack they have in certain parts. Naoe is fast as hell and she flips and jumps like Benson Boone.

I like the world. The leaves falling and the rain. You becoming slower in the snow.

The guidance system is finicky though. I spent 30 minutes in one of the castles because I could not find the samurai you need to kill. There are usually 2 or 3 in an area.

So you're the modern audicence they keep making DEI infested games for?

I'm enjoying the loop so far. Combat and stealth difficulty on high, but I allow myself to have one-hit assassinations active. I'm sure the balance is totally fucked later regardless.

As an aside, the "battle passes" are more akin to reward tracks. Sure, they're tied into a weird live-service-but-not-quite mission structure, but near as I can tell absolutely no real world money is involved. Doesn't seem to be anything like Odyssey's experience booster either.

The Asians got their own ninja assassin IPs. Besides what do you even get with the Assassins Creed IP? Mechanically it is stale and uninspired, so the new owners will need to retool it to the point it is basically a different game. The meta story that ties all the games together is pretty pretty iffy at best so they again need to retool it into something new or scrap it. And for characters, most of the good ones are historical figures so you don't really need the IP to use them.
