I still don't understand how you can go from putting out bangers after bangers in the 2000's to whatever modern Ubisoft is. Was Yves one of those lazy CEO fucks that just let actual talented people ghost run his company and then it all went to complete shit once he actually got involved himself?
Throwing the captain of the Titanic overboard while the ship is cracking in half isn't really going to fix the problem.
>>732227869> Ubislopof course they have unions - of course
Yves Guillemot would rather shut those studios down than kneel to their demands
>>732228054figure out which lead devs/story writers from AC1,AC2, and brotherhood left after that. That will tell you whyAlso - it's not subtle at all how every shill on /v/ can't remember DEI and ESG happened - faggots
>BAD CEO IN BAD COMPANY IN BAD INDUSTRY NEEDS TO GO AND SPEND MORE MONEY ON ITS WORKERS...>company gets shut down/sold off to Chinese/Saudis/AI
>>732228067It will when the captain is standing with an axe hacking the ship in half.
isn't he one of the founders? might as well bury the company altogether, not that i mind as long as someone salvages their good IPs like Rayman, PoP etc.
>>732228398>DEI and ESG happenedAnd who was the guy in charge that implemented all those things again? It seems like I just saw his name.
>>732228379Considering the baffling amount of staff that Ubisoft employs, this isn't particularly shocking
>>732228054Ubisoft never made a good game
>>732228520Bro, the Titanic wasn't brought down by an axe. It was an iceberg. The point is it's too late to fix, and putting someone else in charge isn't going to make the iron fucker float again.
>>732228663>baffling amount of staffIs it really that bad though? Needing at least 10 Indians to do the work of 1 lazy white person seems about right.
>>732227869>entire company has culture of making shitty games>Fire the CEO, THATLL FIX IT!
>>732228706In that case, they really should just give the guy a few billions and a pat on the back for a job well done in steering the ship straight into the highly visible iceberg that every single person on board saw years and years before the captain.
>>732228603larry fink - he hasn't gone anywhere - he also is making tons of money off ICE deportations now
>>732228067I don't even get it. How will unions create better games? That will only lead to the exact DEI committee slop Ubisoft is already producing.Games need a mini Hitler game director. He just has to be good at what he's doing.
>>732228054If you read some interviews from the devs they all say the same thing. They burn through interns and temp workers like crazy to not pay them properly, Sweet Baby, ESG and DEI shit killed any sense of reward from working well and no one is allowed to have an opinion on anything.Games like Far Cry are such a clusterfuck that they basically redo the whole engine from scratch every game because no one that worked on the last game is still there.Essentially Ubisoft is just a modern studio like the hundreds of others, they're just so big it took a while to ruin everything.
>>73222871417,000 people. Ubisoft Montreal has 4,000 aloneMy favorite thing about Ubisoft recently is the Prince of Persia remake that got shitcanned because it was unsalvagable was made by Ubisoft Mumbai which didn't get shut down
>>732228860When did that guy take over control of Ubisoft?
>>732228054>Business entirely based on outsourcing to French Canadians>Only making games if France or Canada pay with tax money >Make gorillions on low effort slop like Just Dance, but give nothing back to Canada or FranceMakes u think.
>>732228827I don't give a shit what happens to Ubisoft, bro. And neither should you. Remember that when you fire a CEO they get a huge severance package. The exact thing you don't want to happen IS HAPPENING. If he was forced to go down with the shit he would end up with nothing, but now he's pulling tens of millions out of the dying company on his way out. Welcome to the show, retard. Start paying attention.
>>732229030>If you fire him he gets all the money>If he goes down with the company he gets all the moneySo what are you whining about in the first place?
>>732228054assassins creed's overwhelming success made them retarded.same thing that happened to nintendo with the wii -> wii-u
>>732229030he's already put all the valuable IPs into another subsidiary that he will hop over to when Ubisoft goes down.the Guillemots are desperate to keep control, a severance would be little comfort to their egos.
>>732229137You're fucking illiterate. He gets NOTHING if he's still at the helm when the company goes under. He's gets a pay day if he gets forced out. It's called a golden parachute. You're talking about shit you don't understand.
>>732227869>unionuh oh gonna trigger some burger and firearms people
>>732228054you’re misattributing what made gaming beloved and successful: white men. look at the credits of the people making new games sometime; it’ll answer all your questions
>>732229271>He gets NOTHING if he's still at the helm when the company goes underExcept the billion from Tencent when they buy all the IPs.
>>732229465he doesn’t own the company tho? isn’t Ubisoft owned by the government
>>732229585Ubisoft is owned by the CEO and his family. Even if he steps down, he will just be replaced by one of his brothers (or maybe sons).
>>732229356The firearm burgers now want every gun owner to bend the knee to the state. You haven't been paying attention for the last 2 weeks
>>732228917>Sweet Baby, ESG and DEI shit killed any sense of reward from working wellI think the CEO being a AAA-addicted despot and "crunch" corporate culture did that. One of billions of Hollywood worshiping boomers who can't stand the thought of a cartoon like Rayman being their mascot and don't actually like video games, but the money and sense of power is too sweet to get out of video games.
>>732229919Firearm burgers have known what happens when you fuck around with feds for a century now
>>732229919Firearm burgers are in full support of the "fuck ICE" thing after government attempts to blame Pratti's death on violent rebellion with footage showing that didn't happen, last I checked. They're not happy the President wants their second amendment rights to go away because police states are incompatible with gun ownership and his brain is dibbling out of his ears from his dementia.
>>732230410>I think the CEO being a AAA-addicted despot and "crunch" corporate culture did that.No. There were great games produced by soul crushing mini Hitlers. It was just before the time of Sweet Baby and DEI.Not like crunch stopped. By that metric games should still be good.
>>732227869>unionAh so even if he does leave Ubisoft will stay just as shit.
>>732230536I have no idea how unions will produce a financially successful video game.
>>732230410>Publisher stop forcing crunch, stop forcing devs to change their vision to force shit like Vin Diesel and guns everywhere, give devs literal decades and infinite money to make games>They're all shitIf anything, we need to go back to the soul crushing days of game devs because the current meta suck
>>732230505>Firearm burgers are in full support of the "fuck ICE"Fucking lmao, you don't know shit. They all want their daddy right wing government to shit all over them if they promise to shit on a mexican too. Libertarians haven't been a thing for a decade
>>732230536basically, to me that headline just reads as>retards that helped ruin the company want to get rid of the retard on top (who also helped ruin the company) so they can ruin the company further
>>732227869Is it time for a golden parachute?
>>732228706Okay, the captain is the iceberg. Pedantic autist.
>>732230760Braindead farmers who won't accept Trump is fucking them for any reason and no matter how hard he does it aren't the same people as the NRA and weapons hoarding rednecks. Hell /pol/ has occasional crash-outs over the NRA not caring if you're a Tumblr strawman transsexual IRL so long as you're using your gun legally and keep the weapon maintained.
>>732229030>And neither should youWhy should I not be happy that a company I hate is suffering?
>>732228054Cost. It's 100% about cost. Ubisoft jumped feet first into the deep end of the open world pool early on. They've been worried about cost internally forever, but never knew a way out, since the bar was now set so high. All it takes is a little weakness in sales a few times, or even just one big flop and they're toast. It's kind of amazing they lasted this long.
>>732231151I know this is going to be very difficult for you to understand. But it turns out, as shocking as it may seem. That companies aren't in fact, human.
>>732231105>farmersIt's middle class, truck driving office workers who support him the most. Farmers are a tiny minority of the population, and they will still vote R to their deathbeds. Farmers don't give a shit about guns compared to middle class urbanites who LARP as rural people, and will support big T no matter what.
>>732231530Never said they were. Any reason you're having trouble answering the question?
>>732231392That's publicly traded companies for you.The CEO can't say>AC has gotten too big.>Let's scale the next few games down, get back to the core.>Of course that means less revenue and less profitHe would get murdered by the stockholders.
