Ubisoft stock closed down 7% one day after AC Shadows release
- Thread starter Kotaro
- Start date
If AC Shadows fail, Tencent will probably acquire the right to use Ubisoft brands outside of Ubisoft:
BennyBlanco
aka IMurRIVAL69
I want Ubisoft to do well, I want them to return to their glory days but.....
Me too. It’s easy to forget that Ubisoft was good not all that long ago. Splinter Cell, the Rayman reboots, South Park RPGs, Far Cry 2+3….
I want Ubisoft, Take 2, EA, and Activision to all be good. WB is already cooked and there are really no other big traditional 3P publishers around.
Off topic: Tencent is a double edge sword. I like the games coming out of Asia especially they are free from any twisted gender ideology, dei and woke agenda, but I don't trust state run Chinese companies especially under Communist party control.

Jokes on you but this is basically what Konami did with their pachinko slot machines biz.

Report: Assassin's Creed maker Ubisoft could create new IP unit to court major investors
The French publisher has already confirm it's pursuing 'various transformational strategic and capitalistic options.'
From that article:
This has less to do with Assassin's Creed: Shadows and more to do with Yves latest "save the farm" scheme.

The drama and madness continues
I'm just wondering what should be the number for at least to break even for Ubisoft?
By my estimate, 6-million sold is the breakeven point. 6x70 = 420M. Platform holders (Sony, MS, Steam) will take 30+% of the cut
Development + delay + marketing should add up to 300M

Right, the 7% drop today is a 1 week delayed reaction to this story from March 14.Report: Assassin's Creed maker Ubisoft could create new IP unit to court major investors

I even liked a lot of AC games. AC4 and Origins were pretty great. Not to mention 2 and Brotherhood.
Chances of Ubisoft “Returning to Form” are between zero and none though.

That's not what he meant at all, guy.
If ur shit's gay, it's fuggen gheeeey, bro. It's why BG3 isn't gay, but this is gay, you gotta learn to understand, mang.

Cyberpunk 2077 has sold more than 13 million copies, despite launch disaster and refunds
That includes more than 8 million preorders and also accounts for some refunds.www.theverge.com

I'm all for dragging the crazies through the mud... but are we really going to use stock prices now to prove a point?
like it's literally the most volatile thing one could possibly base any assumption on, Yves could fart and share prices could absolutely tank but if he ate strawberry ice cream before and the fart wasn't too smelly it could sky rocket and both would have absolutely nothing to do with Shadows.
Jokes aside, yeah this ain't it chief.

Does this mean we might get AC games that are made for players instead of activists? Sounds good to me.

If Ubisoft at least had the same "pedigree" of CDPR, but we know they dont, there is no redeem story here, there is only double down on mistakes.And react like this

So much desperation for something to fail 
And for literally no reason.

We learned about 1m players official announcement, which means its below 1m sold copies, and its below 2m players otherwise we would get one of those, much better sounding announcements, that is quite telling.
Once again, lets remember cdproject red and them announcing 13m sold copies even with bug-fest and bad press launch, that announcement was there to show game sold well initially aka big cash injection into company/profit for shareholders, what does ubi have, to make their shareholders feel secure in their investment? 1m players official announcemnt isnt that, 5m sold copies would be proper solid thing shareholders wanna hear but instead we got 1m players

There is good reason for it, ubi putting black protag into feudal japan game, meaning its pushing DEI as hard as possible and deserves to be punished for its disgraceful behaviour.So much desperation for something to fail

speculators who bought thinking others would buy in anticipation of Shadows releasing and who then sold into the release.
Thought about it myself as I had bought Ubi at lower prices. But I'm holding on longer term to see if they can right the ship and/or get bought out.

Yeah they should've just not mentioned any numbers at all for the first week. Let the controversy die down, let people play and digest the game over the week. This reeks of short-sighted planning, with a bit of a hint of a 'chip on the shoulder'. They should put their heads down and focus on the balancing, fixing the bugs, next content update etc.We learned about 1m players official announcement, which means its below 1m sold copies, and its below 2m players otherwise we would get one of those, much better sounding announcements, that is quite telling.

Yep. They needed a big hit. Monster Hunter Wilds sold 8 million copies in 3 days. AC Shadows has "1 million players"...
Also this talk about splitting up the IP and forming a new company sounds like a way to leave the Ubisoft corporation holding a bag of crap.
they could go with how many japanese being killed or how many vendor being destroy ingame to impress investor

You didn't factor in those subbing to play. That is significant

Over the last year I’ve become increasingly convinced a significant portion of GAF doesn’t even like video games, and get their rocks off way harder by shitting on the latest AAA release than actually playing anything

I would be more worried about the fact that Tencent are ruthless, the moment they decide you aren't making them any money they will shut your studio down and lay everyone off
