They lost a bunch of money on Avatar and Star Wars, not shadows
>>
>>726121713
Having watched a playthrough to see the woke elements it's a typical girlboss-fest of the lady ninja and king nigger is of course praised for being a giant.
The gameplay is mediocre and a pale shadow (ha) of the former games, with arbitrary levels on enemies like they're in an MMO for no reason other than pacing to force grinding, and you either suck arse as the lady ninja that can't assassinate anything or fight anyone outright or play as king nigger that doesn't actually do any assassination.
But hey, you can customise a little home base and pet cats, oh my science!
>>
>>726122062
They lost money on all three. All the games had ridiculous operating and marketing costs and failed to make all that money back up.
>>
>>726122078
I'll be honest looking at the gameplay, it looks fun playing as yasuke especially with a tinge of the non-self aware racist subtext
>>
>>726121713
Have you tried Way of the Samurai? The third entry in the series is quite good and available on Steam - it requires slightly more autism than the other games you mentioned but it is quite fun, you can be any kind of samurai you want and the story changes based on your actions

That's one of my favourite series actually lol, haven't played the 4th one tho.
To this day, I don't think any games have matched the feel of a wandering samurai/ronin and arguably, for wandering swordman including western ones.

That's not how maintaining a business works.

>>726122564
Ubisoft is literally dead, anon. They've halted their stock to stop it crashing further.
When a company does that it's dead and waiting for buyout.
>>726122721
AC2 sold 9 million copies in the first 6 months of release.
Shadows is a commercial failure. When you invest over 200 million into a game and it fails to make back a fraction of its costs that is not a win.
Learn to maths.

6 million wasn't enough

>>726123568
you know steam alone takes a 20-30% cut? this isn't raw profit
>>
>>726123568
200 million is the baseline cost, retard.
That's not taking into account salaries, marketing, and additional costs of taken cuts.
Then you have to take into account that these absolute retards counted GAMEPASS SUBSCRIPTIONS as sales to fudge the numbers.
They lost hard.

Shadows did numbers that were generally fine, the main problem is everything else Ubisoft has released recently. If Shadows had been more of a breakout hit as some previous entries had been it could potentially have better covered the losses for some other titles, but even then Ubisoft's business isn't sustainable long term if Assassin's Creed is the only franchise routinely making a profit.

It didn't sell 5 million, it sold 2 million at most and all the rest was "users" and "engagement hours" through ubisoft+. Ubi cancelled their civil war AC game because they were so shook by the online campaign against them which has forced them to beg China to bail them out

This seem more likely to me than them successfully course correcting last minute. The company falling into the control of the retards in the first place may have been sabotage. But once that was done there would be no need to interfere further.

Ass creed shadows was a Chinese operation. They have been busy with their Japan demoralization campaign.

Chink bots are constantly flooding both v and pol with anti Japan shit. It’s not Jews, Jews don’t give a fuck about Japan they really don’t, you’ve just been pavloved into thinking it’s jews for everything. It them for the west yes but china handles Asian demoralization.

They hate the Japanese and in case if upcoming ww3 a weak and unstable and demoralized Japan benefits them. The west uses Japan as its number one bae of operations in Asia.

I promise you most of the money to develop shadows came from china and no proof but other than knowing how they operate china is also behind the decision to use a black guy. They pour money into a japan demoralization game they know will flop they then are free to buy up the ip coincidentally one of the west biggest most profitable ips for future propaganda use. It was a win win for them.

I know for a fact all those “what takashi gonna do” posts were Chinese because one of these faggots forgot his meme flag while spamming pol a while back

AC Shadows easily cost at least half a billion dollars. 5 million copies sold won them 350 million dollars, assuming your 5M number is accurate. This game didn’t even break even.

AC1/AC2 was hype. I liked the past stuff but I was one of the ones that wanted them to go full modern. But the idea of a Japanese Assassin Creed was also exciting.
Brotherhood comes, still great. Revelations, has its moments, but really spinning it’s wheels with the story. Im losing my patience. I want to progress in the current day story.

AC3 comes and I hear the news of Desmond dying. Start to lose interest, never get the game.
Lose interest in franchise. Black Flag and other games come along and I skip past all them. I hear very little of the mess of the modern story. Its completely ruined. No one cares for it, the past is what people really want. But now the past stories getting woke and ruined too.

The modern story is lost. But still the idea of Japan assassin creed, is the only thing that could pull me back for a game. Then we know how that went.

Oh well. The franchise didnt go the direction i wanted. And they blew their ace card. RIP. Fine with letting go of AC and Ubisoft as a whole. We had some good times.
