@@fattiger6957 their main source of money was viewership on their page. The more viewers go to their website, they earn more money off ads. However, they decide to go greedy thinking that they can hoodwink their viewers with fake reviews and not get caught on taking bribes. They not only lost one source of money, they now only can live off of bribes from publishers that barely make their website stay alive.

IGN’s reputation score: 3/10 - While the videos are well made, they often give high scores to terrible games if the game was made by a big publisher. - They tend to pander to an audience who don’t actually play games while throwing their core audience under the bus. - They need more diversity of ideas in the company, rather than diversity of genders. - The “journalists” literally hate their audience.
I usually go youtube to check " before you buy " to see honest reviws. I love those guys that review the games cuz they honest af. Atleast imo what ive noticed
@@anyoneanyone28 IGN has like 2 or 3 good journos working for them, like the guy defending BG3 in a video essay when so many of his peers were attacking the devs for making the game "too good".
It's crazy how these AAA studios don't seem to understand that it's not just about pushing something out anymore. There are SO many "decent" games to play, that making something bad changed from "It might have some good parts!" to "I'd rather buy 3-6 other games that are better."
And with ubisoft it's even worse cause every new release is a worse copy of the previous game. Watch dogs 1 looks better than outlaws, no joke. You're also somehow given more choice and options despite trying to have the character be a hero rather than a f@king outlaw only in it for themselves. She starts by trying to betray the rebels for money but drive bys and any conflict in the cities is out of the question.
I genuinely search the playstation store with a full wallet and cant find any good games i want to play. The only good games ive played this year are wukong and dragons dogma 2.. all the "good" games are souls clones and i typically hate those. Everything else is either made by ubisoft activision or ea...
@@ohno7582 - What kind of games do you enjoy? Have you played Monster Hunter World? Maybe something more indie like Dave the Diver? There’s an early access for Ravenswatch which is an awesome top down like Diablo crossed with Hades.

@@damanstover2035 i just feel bad for the Prince of Persia IP. I have fond memories about that gane and would wish someone competent would pick it up at some point
This is what happens when you select who recieves review copies based on favorable feedback. You incentivise them to lie to you to keep getting review copies, but after a while everyone else knows they're lying.
It's even more sinister than that. These creeps aren't giving unfairly solid reviews to games like this because they're financially motivated to do so. They're politically motivated, and I think that's even scarier.
They obviously didn't give enough lavish trips to Disneyland for the content creators, that's the message they'll take away from this. Should have bought them fast passes and mickey ears to save this Star Wars game.
They've ignored the gaming community and forced rubbish products on us for too many years. They went on a big DEI hiring initiative around 12 years ago and their games have steadily gotten worse since, this is what happens when tickboxes mean more to a company than competent, passionate staff.
And on top of that, journalist sites decide to hire activists instead of journalists, because most real journalist that want to work as one, have a thing called journalist integrity, and so, they would refuse any extra perks for being a journalist, just like a bunch of youtubers and streamers that actually do journalist work do, a clear example that comes to mind for me, even if not in the gaming industry, but more in the tech as a whole, would be Gamer Nexus.
This makes me so happy. For the longest time, I was a huge Ubisoft fan, but they lost everything that made them great. They ruined their great franchises and became the definition of insanity themselves. It was sad to see. Seeing them pay for it is too satisfying for me to even explain
I was sad too maybe still am. what happened to them. from Pronce of Persia, Assassins creed till Black Flag, Splinter cell, Far Cry 3, Ghost recon Wildnlands, Anno 1880. now they make worse to worse things
@@donxnik It sure is. I didn't even mind buying all the add ons either as they really expanded on the original game. Just mentioning it has got me thinking about installing it again. Fantastic game. Time just flies by when playing it. 🙂
Well that's the downside of how long game development takes. They can't pivot now. All the games coming out today are locked in on story and design decisions made 2-3 years ago. Even longer sometimes.
3, if you also count the disaster that was skull and bones. Outlaws, Skull and bones, AC: shadows, and rumors of xdefiant failing....I'm gonna enjoy the outcome of this for sure lmao
@@DivinesLegacy Honestly from what i saw in this short video, id say yes. NPCs not reacting to explosions happening right on their feet is crazy, even Skyrim wasnt that bad and Skyrim had some pretty fucked up things.

@@muccafamumu they are fooled me over two times(Watchdog legion and ghost recon break point), and i decided not anymore. I am just ignoring their games now.
Ubisoft is a sinking ship. Reminds me abit of Twitch vs Kick - used to be good but after many stupid decisions the competitors starts taking over. Personally I am done with them🤷
@@vaazon That game faded into the forgotten realm. I heard from someone on YT that a very credible leaker said xDefiant is about to close, and it has less than 20k concurrent players across all platforms as a live service, its failing because nobody is buying the skins because "they all look like trash", and the updates are uncapable to keep up and bring more people. I dont even play it, I grew out of that game genre like 10 years ago but I sometimes watch stuff about entertainment that I dont consume
I still remember a company that went one step further and said "we don't collect that data". They don't collect data on the number of users, on the time users spend on it daily, how much ad revenue each user generates, how many new users it gains per day. None of those metrics are collected, and they declared that they might look into collecting such information, if and when these things could >significantly< enhance investors' understand of the financial situation. Said company has lost about 65% of it's stock value over just the last 6 months and is currenly falling at about 3-6% on a day-by-day basis.
I like how Spacemarine devs fukup and leaked full game on torrent, they run early access, but game don't have DRM, you can download it. But i'm 99% sure, they don't fear any of these. Because they know their game are good, and people buy it, and play in coop/mp with friends after company.
I mean, you can just look at sales and public perception of the company, by 2015, Ubisoft was already spoken of as a joke company, so anyone that invested on that had it coming.
I waited 4 months for customer support help to get my account with an email that no longer exists back, then another two months to try to transfer my ownership of my games that I bought on steam to that Ubisoft account and they told me I couldn’t. Never buying an Ubisoft game again
Yeah I've tried just changing my name on the ubisoft launcher to a name I had on a different account. Still haven't managed it. I did remove the name from the old account..
Faced the same issue trying to transfer a game from older uplay account to the newer one. Did not get any response from their support team and after a month got a mail saying the ticket has been closed.
@@richardsaplenty8020 Glad you mentioned that. Probably the best modern platform at the time. I heard that Studio's latest work Prince of persia is good too. Probably the only Ubisoft with some integrity left.
They had multiple games since Far cry 3 to pull their head out of their behinds. it finally caught up to them, took too long but better late than never. Hopefully casuals would wise up for good and not get AC Shadow
@@MildlyInterested_ 4 would be great if they let you side with Pagan Min. It would break the mold of usual Far cry games. I remember when Far cry 6 was announced a lot of people thought you're the son of a dictator and it looks like Ubisoft is cooking lmao.
When you think about it, companies like Ubisoft and EA actually hurt the whole industry a lot. Like the amount of talented people that work for them that could've been cooking another masterpiece like Wukong or RDR instead of re-releasing FIFA and making DEI games
The tragic side is, there ARE indeed good games published by Ubisoft. What will happen to Might&,Magic, Anno1800, Immortal:Fenyx? Unironically awesome games. Even Wildlands or Ass creed Odyssey are good games..kinda.
The most important thing to me is that the tom clancy franchise goes to a company that actually has an interest in making a tactical open world 3rd/1st person shooter. Bring back a wildlands-esque experience but modernized. Realistic gun sounds, stamina drain when crouch walking, realistic limited hearing range for footsteps, fluid cover usage, smart/dynamic AI, realistic suppressed shot volume based on calibre fired, actually balanced classes no more overpowered abilities like wall hack vision/autoaim, more enemies per base than breakpoint based on number of human players in lobby, the ability to "stack up" on corners and silently notify your friends youre ready using the haptic feedback, allow the host to dictate settings if they want so everyone is on the same experience, actually seeing your teammates lasers, a fleshed out and non-greenwashed night vision, more realistic bullet range and drop than breakpoint, introduce closed doors/locked doors randomly generated, have a randomly generated interior for a skyscraper to keep the game fresh, bring back a meaningful ghostmode and ensure it cant be circumvented with backup saves, i could go on for hours with simple changes that would rapidly entice milsim players.
@@Sofus-fu4roimagine being this stupid. Major organizations in the west have been directly talking about how much they stand by DEI principals and philosophy. Every one from Amazon to EA games to Harley Davidson to McDonalds to the department of education to the United States military has done press conferences, mandatory employee meetings, hired "specialists" and spent millions on their DEI programs. They talk about it openly, they are proud of it. The only real question about DEI is if it keeps tanking all these stocks, who is lining the executives pockets to convince them to keep doing it? Clearly someone is, because if nobody was paying them to do it they would've dropped it the first time stocks went down by .5%.
nothing kills fun more than constant road blocks. you can't kill anyone you want, just bad guys. you can't steal from anyone you want, just bad guys. you can't complete missions the way you want to complete them because ubi wants you to stealth when they say stealth, and shoot when they say shoot and you can't exit the mission area or you'll instantly fail. they've been pulling this sh** since the very first assassin's creed game. remember when you weren't allowed to hidden blade civilians as altair because "that's not how the story goes" and they'd stop the entire game and plop you back on the map until you play ubi's way?
@kreight_ And the assassins were meant to lean more toward good. In a game named "Outlaw," you'd think we'd have more moral freedom, but nope. Despite starting out stealing from mf to make rent and trying to stiff the REBEL ALLIANCE FOR CASH, kay's a good guy who only f's over crime bosses and the empire... when you play.
Worked as a contractor for them for a year. Not many better companies this could have happened to. Customer service's job is to absorb all the justified frustration from the community, so that management doesn't have to hear it.
As much as I wish I could be happy about Ubisoft failing, I know that the actual culprits of such massive failures (the executive leadership) will escape any real repercussions, floating away on their golden parachutes to other high paying jobs while the developers are tossed out on their ass for doing what they were told to.
what makes you say that? thats not standard industry wide. You hear about the ones that get those parachutes but you never hear about the directors that crash and burn. why? because you cant make news off from it. Reality is the directors are the exception not the rule
@@1wasavi No, but it's usually how it goes, especially with larger companies like Ubisoft. And it's not like news outlets shine a big light on CEOs doing just fine after a company collapse and stuff like that. They always have large severance packages. Even if they didn't, it's not like they didn't milk the position for all it was worth while they had it. Let's be real, no CEO or high ranking executive is going to be hurt at all financially. The workers will always bear the brunt of the pain.
The devs share just as much blame as the executives IMO. Sure the top brass will put out a list of stupid requirements and boxes to be checked but it still falls to the developers and writing/art team to make the game. The executives might have demanded that there be at least 1 fat purple haired transwoman on the main cast and that sucks, but it's the devs and the art team who's job it is to make a game people want to play, and they are failing terribly. People with talent can make good art regardless of how restrictive the technology or the executives are. To prove this I point to Super smash brothers melee. Developed on a heavy time restraint with the gamecubes very limiting power, they still managed to bash out a game still beloved and active to this day. Hell I could point to most NES and SNES games as examples of just that.
@@Wedolko Disagree. If the developers are bad at their job or are actively detrimental to the project, it is the responsibility of those in leadership positions to remove those team members from the project. My issue isn't that devs are getting laid off necessarily. It's that executives don't share the same risk.
I don't, my man, I don't know. Competition is so tough this year. Concord set all possible records of being a flop. Dustborn triggered half of the internet. Assassin's Creed is yet to come. So I wouldn't be so sure.
My hate for Ubisoft started many many years ago, when I bought Heroes of Might and Magic 6 DLC and it crashed midway the campaign without any way to play it. Not only did it take me 3 weeks to get a response from CS, but they spit in my face and did not refund or fix their shit to THIS DAY! That was the day I knew this company is rotten to it's core, the thing we see now is the snowball effect.
Mine was more of a slow burn. Didn't notice till like the 2013 that they made a lot of the games i enjoyed like rabbids and I enjoyed ac and watchdogs then as time went on, the games just got lazier and lazier trying to follow trends rather than improve their own mechanics. So many good mechanics were trashed to start over again and it's so f'ing dumb. "We didn't want to make a black flag 2" f'ing WHY? THAT'S THE ONLY REASON SKULL AND BONES GOT ANY ATTENTION AT ALL!!
As someone who worked as CS for them, please understand that the agents have no influence on being able to actually fixing an issue. We simply have KBs and certain type of troubleshooting, placed there by Ubisoft, which if it doesn't work, welp too bad lol.
@@Titansilber.540i yes i know, what i did not know why you respond it in 2 weeks? if you can't handle add more people for it!!! instead adding more woke game designer, this is more critical
I got a tip back then, but I misheard badly and stocked a bunch of shorts. Still cant find the door out of my moms basement for all the shorts. Not a growth market that one.
Guys what are u thinking? That ubisoft will bring real AAA games out of knowhere. If you followed their development, they are in fact making every year game that is worse than the previous one. BUY SHORT BROTHERS
I said the other day, the bugs in Outlaws should result in AC:Shadows getting more testing before launch… but then I remembered, “Silly me, it’s an Ubisoft game!” All their sh*t is buggy overhyped, overpriced woke sleeping dogsh*t
Valhalla had several game breaking bugs too. Some people couldn't progress quests and had to wait 2 months for patches. I was experienced enough with Ubisoft games that I manually saved my progress and fixed the bug by replaying an entire hour.. still better than awaiting the company for 2 months to fix the quest.
Assassins Creed in particular has a long history with bugs. Was it AC:Unity that had that bug where npc faces wouldn't load? Nightmare fuel. Never play an Ubisoft game on release.
@@soul-man I’ve been watching YT video game reviews long enough to know wayy too many were sleeping on Ubisoft being the main villain- simply because EA soaked up all the heat
It's such a shame because they used to have really good consistent releases. Splinter Cell, Prince of Persia, Far Cry (up to 3), etc. Then they somehow turned into a low effort copy paste factory.
If a studio with a massive media presence can't sell their product, then that product HAS to be garbage. Turning a profit is a separate matter, but not even being able to push products out the door in spite of having so much more ad space than other games developers is a disaster. No wonder the stock has crashed. And it doesn't look like Ubisoft has anything coming in the pipeline that'll turn things around for the foreseeable future. I'm not even sure they can save Assassin's Creed: Shadows if they took it back and redeveloped it into something less offensive, because the reputation of the game has already been completely destroyed by Ubisoft's own hands.
Man, I remember when the EA Star Wars deal ran out and everyone was like "Hell yeah, now we'll finally get good Star Wars games again!" Now look how far we got.
We actually could but instead people are juat rushing to make literally anything. Here's a thought, you know the mandelorian and how people think the culture and characters and designs look bad ahh.... ARE YOU ALLERGIC TO MONEY!!? Single player campaign either hunting a bounty or looking for a lost artifact or something and in the mean time dealing with either rebels or empire AND CUSTOMIZABLE MANDO ARMOR!!! But with our luck, itd be a suicide squad clone asking $20 for a re skin and a helmet with tiny horns🤮. F@ken western comoanies.
Jedi Survivor was pretty damn good, aswell as the first one. But of course, it was Respawn and not Ubisoft or Dice. Both lost thei magic and talent long ago.
@@irvancrocs1753 They made like what? 5 Games in over a decade ... 2 of which they didn't even develop themselves. Na - they dropped the ball big time. But so did Disney with those horrendous movies.
But I thought inserting underrepresented classes into games automatically sells games and makes millions of dollars? I don’t understand why it’s not working?????
God I'm just so mad about that man! You know who's fault it is?! You want to know?! It's everyone else's fault BUT MINE!!! I'm in the right and everyone else is bigoted and horrible!
Funny how they actually only lose from both of those. Bribes will stop coming if you don't have an audience and review copies don't matter if no one cares about their reviews. RUclips reviews that are released after the game get more views than most journalists anyways.
I refused to buy anymore Ubisoft games after Assassin's Creed 3, the game wasn't even downloadable in many regions for around 4 months after release because of their server issues, and even if you could download the game it was completely broken and unfinished. The best part is, Ubisoft support refused to acknowledge their servers were the problem and instead began blaming customers systems and Internet connections on their forums and Reddit. I couldn't download the game for over 4 months after release, I contacted Ubisoft support dozens of times and they blamed "my monitor resolution" as the reason the game wouldn't download from their server, that is not a joke I still have the email and I screenshoted it because it was so absurd.
@@neogivxapwntcpaa I will find it and upload something, it's on my old email. I remember the exact reason was because I had two monitors and they were different resolutions. I think one was 1080p and one was 720p, that was the reason they told me the game wouldn't download, even though the game was only playing on one and the other monitor was powered off or disconnected. When I replied laughing saying is that a joke they stopped replying to any of my tickets and didn't give me any help, I had to pirate the game to play it in the end.
Backlog's all I play these days, too many games not enough time, so why should I waste money on new titles ever? Especially when they're almost always unpolished buggy overpriced slop. I just finished playing Control and that came out in 2019, great game and I spent less than $20 on it. My next one will probably be Kingdom Come Deliverance, but I've got a backlog of like 200 games to pick from so I doubt I'll ever catch up.
How Ubisoft has ANY stock left is beyond me. They do literally everything wrong. The world keeps telling them to knock their shit off and get back to proper form but they insist on milking their battle passes and multiple special edition traps and praying that the DEI crowd will buy enough of their woke-ass garbage to save them. It's like they're TRYING to bankrupt themselves.
maybe this is it - they make them bankrupt to sell themeselvess under someone wing because they feel they need supervisor that will say them what to do , and for that they feel need to losse price of themselvs so they bombarding themeselfs to just sell the studio for a dollar
I think ubisoft is well aware they've been cooked for a long time, the battle passes and DEI loans were probably the only way they thought they could make money, you know because simply making a game that runs well and that's fun to play is an ancient concept of a bygone era for them.
They got surplus by bunch of weirdos who got money. Sadly, its not pandemic time anymore, and these unhinged weirdos also cant be fixed since they got unhinged. In the end, it was a sinking ship. No one to blame except their own greed. Or maybe they still want to hope its another Blizzard situation ? Ehh not close at all.
I noticed that when I tried AC Black Flag. It felt like if you tried anything outside of their linear story line, you were punished and made to start over.
The Protagonist of the game can't event swim like to those days of Altair in AC1, the difference is that Altair have an animation of drowning, unlike Star Wars Outlaws.
Even if it doesn't tank Ubisoft is super screwed. The amount of copies they'd have to sell in a short time, I believe, is higher than the best selling AC game. It's really bad
AC Origins was an amazing game as well. The last good AC. Odyssey's writing towards the end just went into absolutely silly territory and Valhalla was enjoyable but lacked soul.
@@lanyceraI just love how odyssey was being so obvious about the "oh but you're still alive! Waiting in this room for you for centuries bit" There could have been so many cool things done. Imagine if it wasn't your character that lives. But a family member you choose by a decision in your own storyline(without knowing). You get the staff that keeps you alive, sometime later you're back in the present, and a family member is revealed. And you go back in the animus and figure out how and why they got it. Its just sad how blatant it was once the staffs power is revealed.
EA is the lesser evil rn sure but they're also more dangerous as they're a much bigger and much more powerful company than Ubisoft have ever been, they could wreak a lot more havoc in the gaming industry and I wouldn't be surprised if they did.
I can't believe that 5 managers sitting behind 100+ Devs and breathing down their neck, whispering "that's too good, make it shittier". The Devs are not capable to make anything good since years. Why do people still want to protect them? It's so surreal for me that the entertainment industry gets held to another standard than everything else. imagine this level of incompetence in a restaurant. I guess you don't want to get served by the waiter that sneezed on your food, even when he said his boss told him to do that. These people have no backbone for themself, or decency for gamers. Why should we care about them getting a paycheck? They are not better because they want to put a shit product out just to collect their money they could make in other companies that are better, oh wait, they can't because they are trash and don't get hired somewhere else. Shit management, shit Devs.
For me ubisoft died with the release of Ghost Recon Brakepoint. Me and some friends ended up on closed alpha tests of that game. First test was the best game we've seen in a long time, but a lot of people thought otherwise and cried a lot. Second test rolled out nerfing everything cause all those people cried. Third test made the game - a stealth tactical shooter, where you are no longer the hunter but the hunted, in to a literal cakewalk. Game released shortly after and was meet with negativity due to being wayyyy to easy. (Me and a buddy cleared out a massive enemy base on hardest dif. by walking full height and spraying everything that moves from the hip - that is not "being hunted"). Ubisoft listened to the players, to the minority that cried, meanwhile players like us, who wanted a challenge, waited years for a fun game we could coop together. We were left disappointed.
@@SemperSalam Robots and drones were not the problem, nothing in that game was a problem, since hardest difficulty with all the UI and HUDs off, was still meant for kindergarten kids. The First closed test I mentioned previously, on hard difficulty was a real challenge - fall from anywhere higher than 2m = broken leg, get shot in the leg or arm = limp and can't shoot, you wanna fix that broken leg? well, you need a splint, need materials to make that splint, took some time and effort to get them. You were to slow to plant yourself face down in mud when the ISR drone flew overhead? Well, the wolfs are coming, and in 1st closed A test they did not give 2 flying fucks if all 4 of you were seasoned GR players. . . That was a game I could play for years to come, but soft people cried a lot instead of going to settings and turning on kiddie mode. . .
POV: You are a Ubisoft developer crunching on an unsellable heap of rubbish with HR standing over your shoulder, watching half of your salary locked in RSUs going through the floor.
Go Woke, GO Broke, "gamers need to be comfortable not owning the game they already paid full price" - ubisoft Remember golden rules, never pre orders any modern game, except game by fromsoftware & Kojima Productions.
Even then, why preorder ever? It's exceptionally easy to flop a game release and there's no point in giving these companies interest free loans. Just wait for the game to come out.
That's the thing, it is SO bad that i don't even feel the need to pirate it. Just zero interest, not even free. That's when you know you fked up. People don't wanna play your garbage not even for free
Just keep that in mind that 0:02 this share is OTC market, which means it's outside of regular markets. The original Ubisoft share price is around 15 EUR currently, going down tho... 😂
Not surprising. After FC4 Ubisoft decided that they hate their players and want a new crowd. New crowd didn't really arrive and old left ... Karma is a ... 😂
Another reason is the price increase in games while min wage is still $7.65 ... Someone in California can work 2 - 4 hours and afford a game, someone in Kentucky has to work a full day and another 4 hours for the same game purchased on the same platform in the same country. Vast price differences arent country to country alone.
For some reason, all at once almost, people have soundly turned to not just making ideologically fueled projects fail.. but crater through the ground into the center of the earth. It's like it took about 5+ years for people to finally really figure it out.
Anyone in touch with gaming knew from the day it was announced that Ubisoft would deliver a dud. They are well past their prime and Lucasfilm was stupid for partnering with them.
I remember the days when Ubisoft, alongside EA, were the companies that gave us cool games. Assassin's Creed, Splinter Cell, the original Rainbow Six games...so many. Now both of them just churn out absolute sh*t. They get access to all these amazing IP's. Just in the last couple of years, Ubisoft has had Avatar and Star Wars and made boring, average games out of them. And honestly I'm sick of the virtue signallers pretending that the failure of these games isn't due in large part to DEI and ESG bullsh*t, as well as the games just being poorly made and thought through.
Outlets are literally Mordecai and Rigby on that episode of Regular Show where they had to judge every pie and as to not make anyone upset, kept lying that all were great, at the end of the day it blew up on their faces and that's what is happening now
Yep, that's literally what i feel every time i try to check out ubizzZoft new releases. Their standard ips burned out already, every game stinks of the same formulas and gameplay patterns. Utter boredom.
Ubisoft have been on their way out for the last 7 years. I am actually surprised that they weren't brought out from atleast 5 years ago. They have been so stubborn in selling themselves, and now they are worth so much less than they were 5 years ago that they will either be brought on a steal, or go out burning to the ground.
Grew up with Splinter Cell series, R6 Vegas 1-2 and Assassin's Creed with Altair-Ezio. It's just sad to see what Ubisoft as become and what they did to these series...
The rise and fall of Ubisoft has been very strange, they went from being considered to have some of the best of the best during Xbox 360 days and now playing a Ubisoft game feels equivalent to the experience of eating really processed food, it doesn’t taste great it doesn’t look appealing and its barely legally “edible” and will probably make you feel slightly sick or weighed down after as that “meal” wasn’t cooked with love passion and creativity it was cooked with greed
The only working part of Ubisoft is ANNO and they are probably ruining the next one, because they realized that they can shove it full of DLC and now design around that.

IGN’s reputation score: 3/10
- While the videos are well made, they often give high scores to terrible games if the game was made by a big publisher.
- They tend to pander to an audience who don’t actually play games while throwing their core audience under the bus.
- They need more diversity of ideas in the company, rather than diversity of genders.
- The “journalists” literally hate their audience.
Right. Some reviews they even trash the game and talk bad 80% of the review... and it still ends up with a 7/10 lol
- Too much water
Man, ever since IGN gave *God Hand* a 3/10, I can't take 'em seriously anymore.
I usually go youtube to check " before you buy " to see honest reviws. I love those guys that review the games cuz they honest af. Atleast imo what ive noticed
@@anyoneanyone28 IGN has like 2 or 3 good journos working for them, like the guy defending BG3 in a video essay when so many of his peers were attacking the devs for making the game "too good".
It's crazy how these AAA studios don't seem to understand that it's not just about pushing something out anymore. There are SO many "decent" games to play, that making something bad changed from "It might have some good parts!" to "I'd rather buy 3-6 other games that are better."
And with ubisoft it's even worse cause every new release is a worse copy of the previous game. Watch dogs 1 looks better than outlaws, no joke. You're also somehow given more choice and options despite trying to have the character be a hero rather than a f@king outlaw only in it for themselves. She starts by trying to betray the rebels for money but drive bys and any conflict in the cities is out of the question.
And you can buy 3-6 better indie games for the same price as one AAA.
I genuinely search the playstation store with a full wallet and cant find any good games i want to play. The only good games ive played this year are wukong and dragons dogma 2.. all the "good" games are souls clones and i typically hate those. Everything else is either made by ubisoft activision or ea...

This is what happens when you select who recieves review copies based on favorable feedback. You incentivise them to lie to you to keep getting review copies, but after a while everyone else knows they're lying.
It's even more sinister than that. These creeps aren't giving unfairly solid reviews to games like this because they're financially motivated to do so. They're politically motivated, and I think that's even scarier.
just shill media, like with Hollyweird. Don't be another ghey actor, literally falling for it after making a ghey romcom nobody wants.
They obviously didn't give enough lavish trips to Disneyland for the content creators, that's the message they'll take away from this. Should have bought them fast passes and mickey ears to save this Star Wars game.
They've ignored the gaming community and forced rubbish products on us for too many years. They went on a big DEI hiring initiative around 12 years ago and their games have steadily gotten worse since, this is what happens when tickboxes mean more to a company than competent, passionate staff.
And on top of that, journalist sites decide to hire activists instead of journalists, because most real journalist that want to work as one, have a thing called journalist integrity, and so, they would refuse any extra perks for being a journalist, just like a bunch of youtubers and streamers that actually do journalist work do, a clear example that comes to mind for me, even if not in the gaming industry, but more in the tech as a whole, would be Gamer Nexus.
This makes me so happy. For the longest time, I was a huge Ubisoft fan, but they lost everything that made them great. They ruined their great franchises and became the definition of insanity themselves. It was sad to see. Seeing them pay for it is too satisfying for me to even explain
I was sad too maybe still am. what happened to them. from Pronce of Persia, Assassins creed till Black Flag, Splinter cell, Far Cry 3, Ghost recon Wildnlands, Anno 1880. now they make worse to worse things
The last game I bought from them is the very excellent Anno 1800. I now have zero interest in all their copy-paste open world garbage.
@@MelissasArt True Anno 1800 is really Gem. even can't believe momentally that its ubisoft game
@@donxnik It sure is. I didn't even mind buying all the add ons either as they really expanded on the original game. Just mentioning it has got me thinking about installing it again. Fantastic game. Time just flies by when playing it. 🙂
@@MelissasArt except I still can't get past the engineers lol maybe I'll play again xD
Ubisoft really looked at Concord, Redfall, and Dustborn and said: "Armatures. I'm going to destroy my reputation with TWO awful games."
Well that's the downside of how long game development takes. They can't pivot now. All the games coming out today are locked in on story and design decisions made 2-3 years ago. Even longer sometimes.
Lol their reputation has been going downhill since 2014
@Yodah97
Which also means that the games scheduled to come out next year, that havent been announced yet are also fairly locked in
@@Yodah97 Very true. The (justified) backslash against DEI wasn’t as prevalent then as it is now.

*Make bad products, earn no profits. Who could have known?* 🙄

Assassin's Creed Shadows is set in Japan and the Japanese are outraged.
What happens when it's released?
Any company saying "we don't display that data" is a dog whistle for any smart investor to pull out immediately and never look back.
Yeah, any smart investor knows that it's "those data," and won't trust anything they say.
I still remember a company that went one step further and said "we don't collect that data". They don't collect data on the number of users, on the time users spend on it daily, how much ad revenue each user generates, how many new users it gains per day. None of those metrics are collected, and they declared that they might look into collecting such information, if and when these things could >significantly< enhance investors' understand of the financial situation.
Said company has lost about 65% of it's stock value over just the last 6 months and is currenly falling at about 3-6% on a day-by-day basis.
I like how Spacemarine devs fukup and leaked full game on torrent, they run early access, but game don't have DRM, you can download it. But i'm 99% sure, they don't fear any of these. Because they know their game are good, and people buy it, and play in coop/mp with friends after company.
Wish people would stop misusing the socialist term “dog whistle”. Doesn’t mean what you think.
I mean, you can just look at sales and public perception of the company, by 2015, Ubisoft was already spoken of as a joke company, so anyone that invested on that had it coming.

What will happen to Might&,Magic, Anno1800, Immortal:Fenyx? Unironically awesome games.
Even Wildlands or Ass creed Odyssey are good games..kinda.
The most important thing to me is that the tom clancy franchise goes to a company that actually has an interest in making a tactical open world 3rd/1st person shooter. Bring back a wildlands-esque experience but modernized. Realistic gun sounds, stamina drain when crouch walking, realistic limited hearing range for footsteps, fluid cover usage, smart/dynamic AI, realistic suppressed shot volume based on calibre fired, actually balanced classes no more overpowered abilities like wall hack vision/autoaim, more enemies per base than breakpoint based on number of human players in lobby, the ability to "stack up" on corners and silently notify your friends youre ready using the haptic feedback, allow the host to dictate settings if they want so everyone is on the same experience, actually seeing your teammates lasers, a fleshed out and non-greenwashed night vision, more realistic bullet range and drop than breakpoint, introduce closed doors/locked doors randomly generated, have a randomly generated interior for a skyscraper to keep the game fresh, bring back a meaningful ghostmode and ensure it cant be circumvented with backup saves, i could go on for hours with simple changes that would rapidly entice milsim players.

@@Sofus-fu4roimagine being this stupid.
Major organizations in the west have been directly talking about how much they stand by DEI principals and philosophy. Every one from Amazon to EA games to Harley Davidson to McDonalds to the department of education to the United States military has done press conferences, mandatory employee meetings, hired "specialists" and spent millions on their DEI programs. They talk about it openly, they are proud of it.
The only real question about DEI is if it keeps tanking all these stocks, who is lining the executives pockets to convince them to keep doing it? Clearly someone is, because if nobody was paying them to do it they would've dropped it the first time stocks went down by .5%.

nothing kills fun more than constant road blocks. you can't kill anyone you want, just bad guys. you can't steal from anyone you want, just bad guys. you can't complete missions the way you want to complete them because ubi wants you to stealth when they say stealth, and shoot when they say shoot and you can't exit the mission area or you'll instantly fail. they've been pulling this sh** since the very first assassin's creed game. remember when you weren't allowed to hidden blade civilians as altair because "that's not how the story goes" and they'd stop the entire game and plop you back on the map until you play ubi's way?
They at least made the effort to offer an in-universe explanation for the reset. With outlaws it just pulls you out of the game with an instant “nope”
@kreight_
And the assassins were meant to lean more toward good. In a game named "Outlaw," you'd think we'd have more moral freedom, but nope. Despite starting out stealing from mf to make rent and trying to stiff the REBEL ALLIANCE FOR CASH, kay's a good guy who only f's over crime bosses and the empire... when you play.

Worked as a contractor for them for a year. Not many better companies this could have happened to. Customer service's job is to absorb all the justified frustration from the community, so that management doesn't have to hear it.
My UX designer told me the other day: "You should never restrict the actions of the user. It is really bad user experience. "
As much as I wish I could be happy about Ubisoft failing, I know that the actual culprits of such massive failures (the executive leadership) will escape any real repercussions, floating away on their golden parachutes to other high paying jobs while the developers are tossed out on their ass for doing what they were told to.
what makes you say that? thats not standard industry wide. You hear about the ones that get those parachutes but you never hear about the directors that crash and burn. why? because you cant make news off from it. Reality is the directors are the exception not the rule
@@1wasavi No, but it's usually how it goes, especially with larger companies like Ubisoft. And it's not like news outlets shine a big light on CEOs doing just fine after a company collapse and stuff like that. They always have large severance packages. Even if they didn't, it's not like they didn't milk the position for all it was worth while they had it. Let's be real, no CEO or high ranking executive is going to be hurt at all financially. The workers will always bear the brunt of the pain.
Yes, that's what happens to every business over time.
The devs share just as much blame as the executives IMO. Sure the top brass will put out a list of stupid requirements and boxes to be checked but it still falls to the developers and writing/art team to make the game. The executives might have demanded that there be at least 1 fat purple haired transwoman on the main cast and that sucks, but it's the devs and the art team who's job it is to make a game people want to play, and they are failing terribly. People with talent can make good art regardless of how restrictive the technology or the executives are. To prove this I point to Super smash brothers melee. Developed on a heavy time restraint with the gamecubes very limiting power, they still managed to bash out a game still beloved and active to this day. Hell I could point to most NES and SNES games as examples of just that.
@@Wedolko Disagree. If the developers are bad at their job or are actively detrimental to the project, it is the responsibility of those in leadership positions to remove those team members from the project. My issue isn't that devs are getting laid off necessarily. It's that executives don't share the same risk.

My hate for Ubisoft started many many years ago, when I bought Heroes of Might and Magic 6 DLC and it crashed midway the campaign without any way to play it. Not only did it take me 3 weeks to get a response from CS, but they spit in my face and did not refund or fix their shit to THIS DAY! That was the day I knew this company is rotten to it's core, the thing we see now is the snowball effect.
Mine was more of a slow burn. Didn't notice till like the 2013 that they made a lot of the games i enjoyed like rabbids and I enjoyed ac and watchdogs then as time went on, the games just got lazier and lazier trying to follow trends rather than improve their own mechanics. So many good mechanics were trashed to start over again and it's so f'ing dumb. "We didn't want to make a black flag 2" f'ing WHY? THAT'S THE ONLY REASON SKULL AND BONES GOT ANY ATTENTION AT ALL!!
Same with WD. The DLC is bugged when you are supposed to use the RC car. You cant deploy it for some reason😅
I enjoyed HOMM V And VI and completed everything thanks to pirating.😅
As someone who worked as CS for them, please understand that the agents have no influence on being able to actually fixing an issue. We simply have KBs and certain type of troubleshooting, placed there by Ubisoft, which if it doesn't work, welp too bad lol.

I said the other day, the bugs in Outlaws should result in AC:Shadows getting more testing before launch… but then I remembered, “Silly me, it’s an Ubisoft game!” All their sh*t is buggy overhyped, overpriced woke sleeping dogsh*t
Valhalla had several game breaking bugs too. Some people couldn't progress quests and had to wait 2 months for patches. I was experienced enough with Ubisoft games that I manually saved my progress and fixed the bug by replaying an entire hour.. still better than awaiting the company for 2 months to fix the quest.

Turning a profit is a separate matter, but not even being able to push products out the door in spite of having so much more ad space than other games developers is a disaster. No wonder the stock has crashed. And it doesn't look like Ubisoft has anything coming in the pipeline that'll turn things around for the foreseeable future. I'm not even sure they can save Assassin's Creed: Shadows if they took it back and redeveloped it into something less offensive, because the reputation of the game has already been completely destroyed by Ubisoft's own hands.

I refused to buy anymore Ubisoft games after Assassin's Creed 3, the game wasn't even downloadable in many regions for around 4 months after release because of their server issues, and even if you could download the game it was completely broken and unfinished.
The best part is, Ubisoft support refused to acknowledge their servers were the problem and instead began blaming customers systems and Internet connections on their forums and Reddit.
I couldn't download the game for over 4 months after release, I contacted Ubisoft support dozens of times and they blamed "my monitor resolution" as the reason the game wouldn't download from their server, that is not a joke I still have the email and I screenshoted it because it was so absurd.
Can you post it on your yt channel?
LMAO the last part gotta be a joke ☠️

I remember the exact reason was because I had two monitors and they were different resolutions.
I think one was 1080p and one was 720p, that was the reason they told me the game wouldn't download, even though the game was only playing on one and the other monitor was powered off or disconnected.
When I replied laughing saying is that a joke they stopped replying to any of my tickets and didn't give me any help, I had to pirate the game to play it in the end.

I just finished playing Control and that came out in 2019, great game and I spent less than $20 on it. My next one will probably be Kingdom Come Deliverance, but I've got a backlog of like 200 games to pick from so I doubt I'll ever catch up.
I'd rather do my 6th New Vegas playthrough than play any open world made by Ubislop.
@@bigoof1105 Ahem far cry 3.
How Ubisoft has ANY stock left is beyond me. They do literally everything wrong. The world keeps telling them to knock their shit off and get back to proper form but they insist on milking their battle passes and multiple special edition traps and praying that the DEI crowd will buy enough of their woke-ass garbage to save them. It's like they're TRYING to bankrupt themselves.
maybe this is it - they make them bankrupt to sell themeselvess under someone wing because they feel they need supervisor that will say them what to do , and for that they feel need to losse price of themselvs so they bombarding themeselfs to just sell the studio for a dollar
I think ubisoft is well aware they've been cooked for a long time, the battle passes and DEI loans were probably the only way they thought they could make money, you know because simply making a game that runs well and that's fun to play is an ancient concept of a bygone era for them.
They got surplus by bunch of weirdos who got money. Sadly, its not pandemic time anymore, and these unhinged weirdos also cant be fixed since they got unhinged.
In the end, it was a sinking ship. No one to blame except their own greed. Or maybe they still want to hope its another Blizzard situation ? Ehh not close at all.
Rainbow Six carries the whole company financially
@@MrMooMoo088 Not for much longer at this rate...
Ubisoft: Get comfortable not owning games.
Ubisoft, get comfortable tanking your stocks.
They dont allow you to play the way you wanna play.
And that's why everyone's playing something else
I noticed that when I tried AC Black Flag. It felt like if you tried anything outside of their linear story line, you were punished and made to start over.
I probably get it but can you give some examples anyway?
@@nikobellic8002 stuff like only being able to steal from rich NPCs, not being allowed to attack animals, etc
@@devinward461 Ah yes now I understand it more. Already knew it but needed a confirmation anyway.
See , attacking your customer always works... no wait
Im crying
LMAO
The Protagonist of the game can't event swim like to those days of Altair in AC1, the difference is that Altair have an animation of drowning, unlike Star Wars Outlaws.
ACS is going to tank. Nobody wants to play as a big black dude hacking and slashing through ancient Japan.
at least it's historically accurate
@@justanobody0 lol
@@justanobody0as accurate as Cleopatra being black
Even if it doesn't tank Ubisoft is super screwed. The amount of copies they'd have to sell in a short time, I believe, is higher than the best selling AC game. It's really bad
@@justanobody0hello there Thomas Lockley
if assassin's creed doesn't make a decent splash on release to reassure investors. I think Ubisoft will actually be cooked.
Even better
AC game has been cooked for a while. They are done as a company.
In situations like these you can see which gaming journals are honest and which ones only give decent scores so the publisher doesn't blacklist them.
From Assassins Creed Black Flag it all went down hill for Ubisoft...
They were fluctuating after black flag. Ubi went downhill right after origins
@@JohnnyCaje I enjoyed ACOd a bunch tho.
@@JohnnyCajeNah, Odyssey was better than Origins. Black Flag was peak tho.
AC Origins was an amazing game as well. The last good AC. Odyssey's writing towards the end just went into absolutely silly territory and Valhalla was enjoyable but lacked soul.
@@lanyceraI just love how odyssey was being so obvious about the "oh but you're still alive! Waiting in this room for you for centuries bit"
There could have been so many cool things done.
Imagine if it wasn't your character that lives. But a family member you choose by a decision in your own storyline(without knowing).
You get the staff that keeps you alive, sometime later you're back in the present, and a family member is revealed. And you go back in the animus and figure out how and why they got it.
Its just sad how blatant it was once the staffs power is revealed.
My hate with ubislop is greater than back then when we hate EA for their microtransactions
Yeah at least EA makes good games
EA is the lesser evil rn sure but they're also more dangerous as they're a much bigger and much more powerful company than Ubisoft have ever been, they could wreak a lot more havoc in the gaming industry and I wouldn't be surprised if they did.
@@benjaminbronnimann3966 oh yeah I don't doubt that, I still hate most triple A companies, I just hate ubisoft the most rn
The amount of times this kind of titile is used for anything on this channel is just ludacris.
Ubisoft's management team needs to be fired. Not the graphic designer, not the coder.
Are you sure? Because if you see some dev interviews you'd probably change your mind. Some of them are like 'The Professor' from Concord.
@@TheMrToxin the hiring team did a really awful job throughout the years
I can't believe that 5 managers sitting behind 100+ Devs and breathing down their neck, whispering "that's too good, make it shittier". The Devs are not capable to make anything good since years. Why do people still want to protect them? It's so surreal for me that the entertainment industry gets held to another standard than everything else. imagine this level of incompetence in a restaurant. I guess you don't want to get served by the waiter that sneezed on your food, even when he said his boss told him to do that. These people have no backbone for themself, or decency for gamers. Why should we care about them getting a paycheck? They are not better because they want to put a shit product out just to collect their money they could make in other companies that are better, oh wait, they can't because they are trash and don't get hired somewhere else. Shit management, shit Devs.
Management didn't make the game
That team is composed of empowered Karens, no one touches them
For me ubisoft died with the release of Ghost Recon Brakepoint. Me and some friends ended up on closed alpha tests of that game. First test was the best game we've seen in a long time, but a lot of people thought otherwise and cried a lot. Second test rolled out nerfing everything cause all those people cried. Third test made the game - a stealth tactical shooter, where you are no longer the hunter but the hunted, in to a literal cakewalk. Game released shortly after and was meet with negativity due to being wayyyy to easy. (Me and a buddy cleared out a massive enemy base on hardest dif. by walking full height and spraying everything that moves from the hip - that is not "being hunted").
Ubisoft listened to the players, to the minority that cried, meanwhile players like us, who wanted a challenge, waited years for a fun game we could coop together. We were left disappointed.
My gosh similar thing happened to a game I was looking forward to and it got dumbed because people complained it was too difficult.
The robots also massively ruined that game.
@@SemperSalam Robots and drones were not the problem, nothing in that game was a problem, since hardest difficulty with all the UI and HUDs off, was still meant for kindergarten kids.
The First closed test I mentioned previously, on hard difficulty was a real challenge - fall from anywhere higher than 2m = broken leg, get shot in the leg or arm = limp and can't shoot, you wanna fix that broken leg? well, you need a splint, need materials to make that splint, took some time and effort to get them. You were to slow to plant yourself face down in mud when the ISR drone flew overhead? Well, the wolfs are coming, and in 1st closed A test they did not give 2 flying fucks if all 4 of you were seasoned GR players. . .
That was a game I could play for years to come, but soft people cried a lot instead of going to settings and turning on kiddie mode. . .
POV: You are a Ubisoft developer crunching on an unsellable heap of rubbish with HR standing over your shoulder, watching half of your salary locked in RSUs going through the floor.
Go Woke, GO Broke,
"gamers need to be comfortable not owning the game they already paid full price" - ubisoft
Remember golden rules, never pre orders any modern game, except game by fromsoftware & Kojima Productions.
* Except from a reputable studio that dosent shit in your mouth, fixed that for ya
Kinda wild you’re meat riding fromsoftware and kojima
Even then, why preorder ever? It's exceptionally easy to flop a game release and there's no point in giving these companies interest free loans. Just wait for the game to come out.
This is why you don't buy it, you pirate it, because as Ubisoft said you don't own their games.
Pirate it for what? Who wants to play garbage like that
Why would you even pirate this slop?
I don't pirate Ubislop games because they are not even worth the time playing.
That's the thing, it is SO bad that i don't even feel the need to pirate it. Just zero interest, not even free. That's when you know you fked up. People don't wanna play your garbage not even for free
You don't own the games on Steam either.
Just keep that in mind that 0:02 this share is OTC market, which means it's outside of regular markets. The original Ubisoft share price is around 15 EUR currently, going down tho... 😂
Not surprising. After FC4 Ubisoft decided that they hate their players and want a new crowd.
New crowd didn't really arrive and old left ...
Karma is a ... 😂
Hold the line troops. We can make it happen to Ubisoft. SPEAK WITH YOUR WALLETS
Yes sir! 🫡
Another reason is the price increase in games while min wage is still $7.65 ... Someone in California can work 2 - 4 hours and afford a game, someone in Kentucky has to work a full day and another 4 hours for the same game purchased on the same platform in the same country.
Vast price differences arent country to country alone.
"Jesus Christ this is terrible" no, this is what they deserve
A wise man once said "you get what you fucking deserve!"
and once the new AC game comes out, that charts gonna strike oil with how low its gonna be
For some reason, all at once almost, people have soundly turned to not just making ideologically fueled projects fail.. but crater through the ground into the center of the earth.
It's like it took about 5+ years for people to finally really figure it out.
Gamers to game publishers: How many times do we have to teach you this lesson, old man?!
Anyone in touch with gaming knew from the day it was announced that Ubisoft would deliver a dud. They are well past their prime and Lucasfilm was stupid for partnering with them.
"If you'd invested in a bored ape NFT, you would have retained more value than with a Ubisoft stock."
Really put a nail on the head of the situation.
I remember the days when Ubisoft, alongside EA, were the companies that gave us cool games. Assassin's Creed, Splinter Cell, the original Rainbow Six games...so many. Now both of them just churn out absolute sh*t. They get access to all these amazing IP's. Just in the last couple of years, Ubisoft has had Avatar and Star Wars and made boring, average games out of them. And honestly I'm sick of the virtue signallers pretending that the failure of these games isn't due in large part to DEI and ESG bullsh*t, as well as the games just being poorly made and thought through.
At this point everyone, literally everyone, wishes one thing from Ubisoft:
Bankruptcy
Outlets are literally Mordecai and Rigby on that episode of Regular Show where they had to judge every pie and as to not make anyone upset, kept lying that all were great, at the end of the day it blew up on their faces and that's what is happening now
There's only one emotion I feel when it comes to anything Ubisoft these days...
Apathy. Just complete and total apathy.
And as we all know from an actually good Star Wars game: "Apathy is Death".
Yep, that's literally what i feel every time i try to check out ubizzZoft new releases. Their standard ips burned out already, every game stinks of the same formulas and gameplay patterns. Utter boredom.
Ubisoft have been on their way out for the last 7 years. I am actually surprised that they weren't brought out from atleast 5 years ago.
They have been so stubborn in selling themselves, and now they are worth so much less than they were 5 years ago that they will either be brought on a steal, or go out burning to the ground.
Microsoft is probably geting ready to do so when they reach the lower point, if AC fails too, they will most likely make a move.
Grew up with Splinter Cell series, R6 Vegas 1-2 and Assassin's Creed with Altair-Ezio. It's just sad to see what Ubisoft as become and what they did to these series...
The rise and fall of Ubisoft has been very strange, they went from being considered to have some of the best of the best during Xbox 360 days and now playing a Ubisoft game feels equivalent to the experience of eating really processed food, it doesn’t taste great it doesn’t look appealing and its barely legally “edible” and will probably make you feel slightly sick or weighed down after as that “meal” wasn’t cooked with love passion and creativity it was cooked with greed
They left it on the stove for far too long and called it gourmet, is what they did. 😔
@@DarukaEon So they black faced the meat? 😁
Ubisoft sure spent alot of money on buying those reviews.
Since Far Cry 3, I don't think I've played any Ubisoft games
The only working part of Ubisoft is ANNO and they are probably ruining the next one, because they realized that they can shove it full of DLC and now design around that.
As if Anno 1800 didn't have any DLC
@@merlin6819 Those weren't planned far ahead. Now they will design with expansions in mind. They said that at Gamescom.
