    Please don’t forget that even when this company made “better” games and was more profitable, their management and executives were wilful participants in rampant sexual abuse of their workers. Ubisoft is, always has been, and always will be a pile of festering shit and bankruptcy would be too good for them.

    I honestly don’t understand this situation and how horny people are to see ubisoft fail. I get it their games are not stellar masterpieces but honestly they are okay/good. It feels like they are incredibly overhated.

      When their CEO said that players should get comfortable not owning the games they paid for I went from not really caring about their games to actively disliking the company

      I don’t really care enough to actively hate Ubisoft - I save those sentiments for companies like Nintendo and Disney. However, they did influence about a decade of horrible game design trends with the popularisation of the dreadful checklist-filled Ubisoft Open World^TM, and that is worth at least a mild dislike.

        Also some of the most odious DRM iirc. Not to mention their dalliance with Blockchain Bitcoin NFT whatever.

      I don’t understand how horny people are to defend companies that treat their paying customers like shit.

      For me it’s the arrogance. It’s the calling of themselves “AAAA” gaming and trying to push base prices of games past $100 and then making bland boring games. They think they’re amazing. This is their reality check. Their games are what I play when I have nothing, and I mean nothing else to play

    Now the problem is that revenue is still above 0. We need to pump those numbers DOWN.

    Why hasn’t the board already fired the CEO? Or is the board just full of family members?

    Remember when everyone was on the Guillemots side when they fought to prevent a hostile takeover from Vivendi. The Guillemots became what they feared what Vivendi would have done to the company.
