This is the end of Ubisoft for real. After the stock being down over 90% from highs, they have now cancelled their earnings release and requested all stock trading be suspended. Bankruptcy is imminent.

How can a company request stock trading to be halted?

I don't care much about Ubisoft but they always put a lot of effort into accessibility which was cool, they were an actual industry leader in that category and we may see fewer titles try as hard without their example.

Trading gets halted when there's major events that can have a huge impact on price. (mergers, acquisitions, investigations etc.).

The only thing that was actually pulling numbers anymore was Assassin's Creed, and when most reviews for Shadows basically became "yeah it's an AC game but in Japan, and one character kinda really feels pointless to play unless you're not here for the assassin stuff", it's only a sell towards people into AC in the first place. Far Cry fell off, with 6 being considered a bland disappointment. Skull & Bones was a catastrophe. Rainbow Six Siege tried to update itself with X but it didn't draw new audiences in, and all the collabs and bullshit simply doesn't save a game that isn't relevant anymore. XDefiant completely fell on its ass. The Division devs got put to the Avatar game no one cared for, and Star Wars Outlaws which was an absolute failure. And most other Ubisoft properties are basically abandoned/on hiatus or pissing about with nothing firm besides announcements that have gone nowhere in years, never mind cancelled games like the Ghost Recon battle royale that they're probably gonna try to repurpose assets from for something or another.

This isn't even a broad portfolio something like EA or Activision can use to cover for themselves, and this isn't like Microsoft having a bunch of failing subdivision studios under their different parent companies they tried to be hands-off with. Ubisoft banked EVERYTHING together, and it collapsed, with nothing to actually keep them prepped up anymore besides merchandising. We already knew they were on super shaky grounds before Outlaws and Shadows, is it any wonder they're shitting the bed now; even if Shadows sounds like it did pretty good, that one thing won't magically save the rest of the company.

It did about as well as Odyssey so not good, not bad, judging by Steam numbers. Most modern Assassin's Creed games make most their sales through heavy discounts over the course of years. Again, not a well performing AAA game but it's overblown how badly it did.

Their bigger issue was stuff like Outlaws, which not only sold abysmal dogshit but likely needed to sell more copies due to Disney licensing deals which are never generous.
>>
>>725820349

Yes. And evidentially none of you guys are willing to sort through years of business articles disconnected from traditional gaming discourse to piece anything together. eg this thread.

I skim, jist of it is they're working with Tencent to not explicitly put themselves up for sale and maintain some ownership of their IPs.

Shadows wouldn't have sold much more even with a japanese protagonist
They've been recycling the same faux rpg slop since Origins, the open world is just copy pasted camps and castles sprinkled over a pretty forest, they also can't write an interesting story or a compelling character to save their lives
They just don't have talented people working there anymore, their last truly good game was For Honor and the based dorky cane guy who made that is making educational games now, pretty grim
>>
>>725820487
Talent left when the same talent could net you north of 6 figures in a tech company vs slaving away for 5 figures in a gaming company. There is a huge overlap between tech and gaming.
>>
>>725820510
Well rip
According to Ubisoft, Shadows was their second strongest Assassin's Creed launch, but you can see player numbers dipping like a truck post launch on SteamDB.
>>
>>725819772
Nvidia and AMD are both experiencing dips, though AMD was rising briefly. Nvidia has been stuck at $200. I wanted to invest there, but my mom said no. Ubisoft will never rise from this.
>>
>>725820373
ass creed odyssey cost $500 million to make in 3 years, which needed 5 million copys to break even
shadows took 5 years to create
assuming they both had the same yearly cost, shadows cost 833 million over 5 years
assuming this is true shadows needed 8.3 million sales to break even

it's not just about the money, some people would be ok to work in the video game industry even if it pays less because they are true fans of video games, that's what we need back, employees that are obsessed with making good games, and those people don't want to work on a company that's focused on woke propaganda, they'll go somewhere else, some place where the main focus is to make good games only

There is the push towards outsourcing to third world countries, and to be frank Shadows looks cheaper than previous games, but that's a good point.

I'd love to see actual financials but no AAA dev is that kind.

>>725820746
I mean, it can still be true and flop.
My posts are kind of all over the place here, but again, Assassin's Creed games make a bulk of their sales with heavy post launch discounts. People stopped buying Shadows after launch window, so both can be true at the same time.

When people lie to investors in earnings calls, they tend to be more intelligent about it, rather than something that can be instantly disproved.

None of these feel like an actual response to the post. You can indeed have a AAA game that relies on longterm sales flop after having a strong launch day.

I swear to god, telling a /v/ user that A and B are both true at the same time fries their brain.

>>725821180
I don't give a fuck about Ubisoft but it seems people here have an agenda to attribute their failure to wokeness instead of making fucking shit games while Dispatch a very woke game has a constant thread up 24/7 on /v/ and is probably the most successful VN in years. Ubisoft made shit woke games. Their failure wasn't down to it being woke. It was down to it being shit.

Yeah but they also usually break even on launch. AC Shadows budget is supposed to be between 250-350 million which means it needs 5-7 million full price sales to BREAK EVEN.
It had 3 million """""players""""" on launch, and eventually reached 4.3 million sales. It has yet to make a cent back.

Youre not gonna get those employees by paying them terrible wages and forcing them into putting dei content and participating in mand- optional workplace parties and after work activities.

If youbisoft is assassinated by yasuke is it going to affect ubisoft connect in any way? I have several games in there, well, a free games like unity+dlc that they gave away for free during notre dame fire in '19 and it'll be unfortunate if I cant access them again (evendoe I got them for free)

They were at least a game maker that year. Ac Valhala, the Division 2, Just dance 21, Immortals, and a few other little things.

This year they have, AC shadows... and Anno 117. I don't think we've even seen any screenshots of Hexe yet.

Okay, fair enough, but my point isn't that it did well or made a profit, just the idea that it killed Ubisoft is hyperbole considering that same year they had Outlaws

they literally hire woke people so that they are ok to "make it wokr", and even for the normal employees that are not focused on that, it doesn't matter, the upper management are woke, and they are the ones giving orders, I guess this simple concept is too hard to understand for a low IQ like you, oh well

I mean, same can be said for Zenimax of Blizzard. If you're a Real Gamer then you already know those studios are not worth acquiring, they won't make the money back. But if you're Linkedin pilled and know nothing of the industry, wow, zomg, big name, lots of IPs :O

They aren't buying the talent, in their perspective it's replaceable with AI and outsourcing, they're buying the clout and IPs. Unaware that those have declining interest year by year.

I'd almost feel bad for Microsoft but I have a frontal lobe.
>>725821629
Ubisoft was definitely better back then, but I think a good gauge for if a AAA studio has value is to determine if it's plausible they can make a new big IP. If they're stuck rehashing the same stuff then gg, they'll be too out of practice by the time their IPs get crusty (2025, today)

Woke is directly related to them making shit games, and I would argue directly related in some of their less shitty games doing terrible at market. They explicitly prioritized woke issues these past 5 years in hiring, development and advertising.

I do agree with you 100 percent in that they have put out some incredibly bad quality games, and just doing some cosmetic redecoration wouldn't have saved them, and quality has been suffering in that they've been losing the ability to make things they could do in the past.

In theory the tencent deal gives them enough runway for AAA dev cycle. I don't think Hexe is 5 years away. They're still big enough to keep moving for a while on pure momentum, but their headcount is fucking massive.

Hell people shitting on it didnt even bring up the bugs, because no one fucking played it.

I honestly think Yasuke was added late in development because some suit panicked over only having a female MC and so the faggots under them quickly added Yasuke. He felt like playing someone shitty mod.

What a joke. It's not like the chuds are hard to understand or predict. They like what the fuck they like. Woke by definition is transgressive. and when we have employees at ubisoft TRASHING the weebs about AC shadows, and wanting them to hate the game, it's pretty obvious what happened.

Bottom line is that nobody gives a fuck about your attempt to tell people their definition of woke, when we can see their wallets in action, and this is a patently obvious attempt to cover because some fired ubisoft people are going to try to fuck up other game companies.

NOPE.
Pune worked on it for years, spent tens of millions of dollars on their own, not counting other studios, and fucked up SO bad that it had to be taken from them and moved.

Other projects have been proposed but india has never lead.

> Also how is Ubisoft Singapore still allowed to exist, weren't they caught breaking labor laws and abusing the SEAsian staff?

The abuse allegations turned out to be moslty Ubisoft french and canadian employees using company money to pay their boi toys and girl toys on the company's dollar.

Ubisoft still has contractual obligations to singapore. they aren't using it to lead on any projects BUT they're still useful. Ubisoft promised the goverment that they'd lead, but they're actually an art, animation and VFX team right now. Complete hucksters.

Anon, the scariest thing is that the devs, artists AND especially the writers and auxillary stafd ALL thought that AC Shadows was good. They don't know ass from shit. The equivalent situation is if someone told you to write a really good romanceslop novel for bored housewives. You don't understand the medium, you couldn't do it. What we've been getting for the past 10-15 years are skinwalkers of games with maybe 1 good mechanic the marketing can focus on. Not even that in case of Ubisoft.
Praying the same happens to Bethesda. I feel like we're culturally at a point where people might not give a fuck about ToS 6 unless it's good(which it wont be. Same fucking engine as Oblivion btw.)

Actually no, didn't one of the Ubisoft big wigs say that playtesters who played Shadows thought the game was shit like a week before when it was to release (before the delay), while also admitting about everyone making it is new blood? I still don't know why he said this and why anyone wanting to sell a product would ever admit this sort of shit
>>
>>725822849
>>725822748
The RUMOR is that they had a sneak preview of AC shadows for the big vendors in japan ahead of the game show, and they were so offended that they walked out.

Considering the shit that got released, I wonder what they changed.

Also, they really HAVE to release some sort of figures for AC shadow's financials for this next report that they delayed.

Any investor who, after this 2 year nose dive, still believes in ubisoft, is beyond saving. I really think that the only investors still left either have a sum invested that they don't mind losing or have them among a dozen companies in their portfolio. Those who really 'bet the farm' on ubi dipped a long time ago. Only reason for Ubi to delay the catastrophe that will be this earnings call is that they are hoping they can finalize some hail mary deal that softens the blow.

Rayman Gold at a yardsale in the early 2000s
Granted it's one of my favorite videogames, but I don't think anything Ubisoft has put out beyond Rayman 1 ever grabbed me. Even Rayman 2 felt too tonally different from the first when I played it at a friend's place I had no desire to get it on N64 despite having multiple chances to do so.

No. Samurai Warriors from Koei had that. And they showed Yasuke going Johnny Somali in a promo video smashing actual japanese shrines, and killing civilians and priests AFTER this. Whatever they had must have been worse.

I only have wild speculation to back this but my guess is that they used Locksleys book where he talks about Japan starting the international african slave trade, so they have Yasuke freeing slaves in Japan. Early ad copy talks about Yasuke fighting for freedom.

Second guess would be something with the Emperor's family. They literally have you robbing his tombs, and having him give the BBC to the Emperess mother in the final game.

>>725826438
Timeline doesn't match up. They didn't notice that until Feb of the next year with the promo video.

Allow me to hijack the thread so i don't have to shit up the catalog.

Why don't they make woke games appealing? What if you made pretty/cute characters that belong to minority groups instead of black granny tranny goblinas with vitiligo.
Consider the following, an AAA SLOPgame remains exactly as is, but all of the woke is expressed through:
>Playersexual tall twink that you can either bred or get bred by
>An epic yuri couple. FemMC can join in, maleMC gets playfully teased in a way thats approporiate but still fan-servicey
>A gyaru/bimbo thats a mouth-piece for fourth-wave feminist ideas proving that you can be womanly and still able to advocate for your rights.
>Nubian kweens.
>Obligatory barabro whatever race.

I feel like not only would the games sell better, they'd also get the woke ideas across far more effectively.
Dispatch proves that people don't mind the woke if there's a likeable cast of characters through which these are expressed. I'm fairly racist but i like Royd because he's a bro and well-written, for example.
Western AAA woke seems to be moreso about making things deliberately ugly and ensuring that at no point can a penis be erect than actually fighting for any ideal. Perhaps because like so many mainstream political warriors, they don't have real beliefs on which anything is based. They parade those around like a puppet on strings, because they believe the dance they can force it into constitutes entertainment.

Thank you for your attention.

There were so many fuckups, that I clearly lost track of them. Alright. yes it definitely could have been copyright issues, like that one recreationist group who's banners got used, but in febuary they were showing the actual shrines and still using it as a selling point.

I don't think those things would cause the execs to walk out. Whatever happened, it had to be something big, because Ubisoft was abandoning supporting it's entire 2024 game slate in japan for the christmas season by pulling out.

>led to an uptick in racist Zoro posting

They are none ironically obsessed with inner city ghetto black culture.
Every black has to be a fat sassy afro with hoop earings, that talks about slavery and how they are put down.
It is the only character traits that these white soi devs know about back people.
They are unironically more racist than Nick Fuentes. It is the bigotry of low expectations.
No black man you cannot get out of this box of ghetto and RnB/rap.
These white devs basically whip themselves over the fact that they have had a nice childhood with very little struggle, so they have to LARP as activists.
I wish they would fuck off out of gaming and kill themselves after giving up all their possessions and money to the nearest black. Because all they want to is "absolve" themselves of a "sin" they have.
>>
>>725826843
Because woke is by definition transgressive. It must AWAKEN society. It cannot be in line with societal norms. If a design appeals to the chuds, the design really cannot be woke.

Check the actblizz diversity matrix. Being conventionally attractive is a BAD thing.

Check the shit that the proponents say, like SBI, or the character designers for Avowed or Vielguard. They find it DESIRABLE that chuds hate their product.

Japanese coomer shit that has diverse harems like you describe get shut the fuck down by these peole.

They got bought by Saudis. Guilemot family remains in charge. Saudis pay off debt and Tencents shares. They struck a deal recently during talks about AC Mirage DLC. Saudis went on a buying spree and they wanted big US and EU assets so they went for EA and Ubisoft.

That's not true at all. I guarantee they either knew it was shit or they had no idea how it is.
If you don't know what your audience likes, you don't suddenly think what you're producing is good. It means you don't know whether it is good until it hits the market and so you'll throw shit at the wall and copy your competitors blindly.
I would know because it's how my whole industry(gambling) functions. Nobody knows what the players really like because they're practically aliens to us and it's not like you can ask them and expect a rational answer.

Possibly yeah. Saudis believe that "digital space" is future and thats why they buy out or massively invest in those assets since they want to diversify their economy. Thats why they buy out esports and AI startups too recently. Saudis are currently on generational spending spree for some reason they buy assets around entire globe and apparently they are very leeway in deals - they allow current owners to remain in control which is main reason why Guilemot didnt wanted to sell. If saudis approached them and said we buy your shit but you still remain as heads then Guilemot bros instantly 10000% took the deal within microsecond of hearing that.

>Yasuke was not the first African to travel to Japan, but he was likely the first to accompany such a noble figure. Jesuits had taken vows of poverty and opposed slavery, so they generally did not bring Africans along with them. Traders from Portugal and other parts of Asia—foreigners who operated with a different set of principles than the missionaries—sometimes had Africans with them, but traders rarely ventured far from ports on the Kyushu coast during this period. As a result, every time Yasuke went inland, he caused a great stir. Among the local nobility, a trend seems to have emerged in which African slaves were used as symbols of authority, regardless of whether they were Christians.

I develop the software that runs on the slot machines. Mostly systems level stuff, communicating with the bill counters and such, and networking stuff. So I'm not involved with designing the games, but I sometimes eat lunch with the designers.
I'm not sure how many parallels there are otherwise between vidya and gambling. I'd say the closest the two get is in AAA games and GAAS-slop, where uninformed players spend money on whatever is popular without really having a discerned taste for anything in particular and I'd expect the average player to be similarly unable to say what makes him enjoy a game. I also think this is why big studios mostly copy features from other games that were successful, because they genuinely don't know how to make a game that their audience would consider "good". Inside the indie circle I'd think you have a completely different audience and market.
I'd expect the separation between audience and developers to be smaller in the vidya industry, since some(most?) developers actually like playing games. And since you don't need to have a debilitating addiction to be part of the audience.
The demographics depend on the country. Where I live, I'd say it's less boomers and more 30-50 aged deadbeats who are the whales. The real hardcore gamblers usually like the simpler games where they can skip most animations so they can get their fix faster.

If every game you release has to sell over 8 million just for you to stay afloat, then you’ve already fucked up. Government gibs are fine, but a lot of them have such stupid requirements that it wouldn’t surprise me if they did more damage than good. No, you don’t need fucking 20k employees, and half of them probably aren’t even involved in game development anyway
