    If you're doing worse than what is already looking like a terminal live service, it's hard to imagine a scenario where you can ever recover. Wonder if Ubisoft will remain stubborn about Skull & Bones or if they'll call it quits early.

    What these greedy companies don't get, is that if you monetize your game like it's free-to-play, then the game should be F2P. They want Fortnite money, not realizing that people who play Fortnite already play Fornite because it's free.

      Thank goodness someone else thinks it - I've been saying that to anyone who would listen for months. Fortnite blew up the way it did because it was free to play. Anyone can say it sucked or hated the game, but nobody could deny that the way it charged people worked. You could play the base game for free and I think you could unlock various free things too, but it got successful through its cosmetics (which was how it made money) and the big special events, which were possible due to how the game's marketing system was established.

      It's ... functional. It's not "Sony offers refunds for this" broken. But from all accounts it should be one of these brain dead yearly release affairs - not the end result of a decade.

Games should strive make a good first impression day one on release not weeks, months or even years after the fact.

    The sad thing is,
    These companies, like pubisoft, they have:
    - tens of billions cash
    - thousands, even tens of thousands of workers
    - they have fantastic tools and engines, that allow them to create a full working gta5 map in 5 seconds, , with physics, weather cycle, npcs, roads, etc, by just setting some values, and pressing 'create'
    - they have +40 year of knowledge about videogames, and know what works or not, what gamers want or not
    Therefore, they should be able to create tens of fantastic masterpieces, every single year. But instead, it's flop after flop after flop.
    There was a time, when games were made around fun, couch co-op, great stories, great characters, etc.
    Then, all the Blackrocks, vanguards, etc, and their hoards of greedy shareholders and ceos arrived, with their suitcases filled with trillions $, and they invaded all these big studios. These guys have video games, dont play videogames, know nothing about video games. All they care about is money.
    And so companies are forced to create games, 100% based on monetization. No more fun, no more great stories and characters. All that matters is hopefully creating the next fortnite/minecraft/roblok/ etc title, that will make hundreds of millions every month.
    Of course, studios are forced to sprinkle all those games, with politics, etc, and we all know what happens next.
    Games must do more and more and more. At the current pace, one day, a game will have to make 3 billions in the first 48 hours, for the shareholders to be happy. And if it only makes 2.9 billions, 1000 employees will be fired. Another 2 years like that, and there will be another crash.
    Shit, is it so hard to create a great game ? Ghost recon breakpoint: shit. Watchdogs legions : shit. The list goes on and on. Even farcry, which i adored, 1..2..3..4..5.. last farcry 6, i had to stop playing, after 30 or 40%. Doing all the same crap over and over made me sick and tired of it.
    Meanwhile, if ubisoft wanted, with barely 10 or 15 millions, they could create a fantastic Rayman game, 4k 120fps, level editor, etc, and they could easily sell 10 million copies, at 49 bucks, and make at least 200-300 millions. But 300 millions aren't good enough, these days.
    And there we have: skull and bones, another flop. And their next game : another flop.
    All that, because studios and devs don't have the freedom to do what they want... and have to comply and conform to their masters at blackrok, vanguard, etc.
    With all the cash, the tools, the engines, the power of the computers and consoles, it had never been so easy, to create a fantastic game, even small one. But these companies keep on releasing shit after shit after shit.
    Yes, it is known : everything these capital/hedge/venture companies like vanguard or blackrock do touch, ends up dying.
    And game after game, they are killing the game industry. Instead of making great games.
    So sad...

    The fact the Sony is doing this though makes me think that it may get pulled from Sony's store altogether if it does not improve. It costs platform holders real money even to issue a store credit in terms of CS employees salary and transaction fees.
    Skull and Bones was DOA and Ubisoft knew it. With the release they fulfilled their obligation to the Singapore Government, no idea if there was any time mentioned in the contract.
