This will surely save Ubisoft.

>shareholders/shills meeting in 4chan
>>743296982>"Good Game Playbook">toxicity, mental health, inappropriate behaviorThat's not about video games at all. No wonder Ubisoft can't make good games anymore. They're reading the wrong instruction manual.
>>743296889>toxicity in games and serviceskek dont all of their games lack a chat
>>743296889>risk from 'Toxicity in games and services': High>risk from 'Major disruption to infrastructure and operations': Moderate

>>743298084kek
>>743296889>Loss of key talent and skillsWell if you niggers weren't one of the 4 horsemen of the corporate apocalypse who brought the end of the idea of career long employment at a studio, instead switching to firing everyone every 4 years so you can keep having underpaid juniors, this would not be a fucking problem at all.
>>743298084It's probably referring to no longer receiving Canadian taxpayer dollars
>>743299953Ubisoft has generally been practicing grantmaxxing where they open studios just to get quick money via government grants. Like Ubisoft Singapore exists and Skull & Bones was only made because the government of Singapore had conditions to actually ship a game and employ locals in their grant.
>>743296889Yeah no, not gonna read that shit. Just someone tell me when will it finally die.
C'est fini
>>743296889This is the ONLY good news for Ubislop. They have more cash now but they have burned through much of the investment already. This company isn't surviving.

>>743300943Retardxis, the point is that it's doing neither.
>>743298084Ubisoft is still committed on wokeness, they don't need American bribe money for it. They are true believers.

>>743301345>hello fellow shareholders
>>743297080okay, but can you actually produce results? So far all I've seen is attempts at alternate explanations why your games failed so you don't have to acknowledge the sole reason potential customers give you. Why not produce a successful game instead of creating all these abstract theories why your adventures end up in failures?
>>743297080Don't worry, the MBA graduates in those corporations can't run video game businesses either.

>>743297080>Ubisoft's annual financial situation is crazy
>>743300538I honestly don't know how they're still in business.
>>743308227Corporations are like cockroaches, they're surprisingly resilient to even what would seem like fatal situations.

>>743297870>a bunch of "experts" and "scientists" and "veterans"It must be a lie; none of them knows what they're doing.
>>743297080>>743297467>>743301345I am perplexed by this new type of anti-shilling, where the talking point is >why are you talking about the financial figures from a video game company? Are you a financial expert?mixed with the usual>who cares?type dismissal.I suspect it's two or three tourists (GCJ, resetera, whatever), since these types of posts only pop up in threads shitting on things like Ubisoft, Bungie/Marathon, and, recently, Sony.It never works of course, and the conversation simply flows around them. Still an interesting observation, I thought.>pic unrelated, but cute
>>743300538>>743308227>Tencent buys 25%>Considers taking company private>Cofounder gets into a plane crashI think we know where this is going
>>743309305I always wonder if it's tourists thinking 4chan is all about trolling and then then I step into the real world, interact with the target audience of these companies, and it clicks again that they truly are this stupid
>>743310445One of the best and worst things you can do, especially in this atomized digital age, is engage strangers in conversation.It's good because it reveals how almost all memes and stereotypes are true, especially about normalfags.It's bad because it's an immediate reminder of how stupid and uniformed the average person is.But on the upside, it does make me appreciate /v/ more, because at least here it's possible to find anons capable of having an intelligent, if not coom heavy, vidya discussion.
>>743309305>I am perplexed by this new type of anti-shilling, where the talking point isIt's damage control. What starts here ends up on mainstream social media tomorrow, so they're trying to nip it in the bud now, because they're out of touch fifty year olds who think you can pay shills to get people to stop talking about things. Expect retards like bharat nation on twitter to be posting these exact financial statements tomorrow. Maybe if Ubisoft spent less on marketing and administrative (middle management benefits) costs they wouldn't be in the red right now.
with farcry 7 having a 72hour timer AND pvpve exraction shooter mechanicsubisoft is deadgive the IP to whatever studio did the ac4 remake honestly

>>743309126Yup, but since college have been pozzed for decades they STILL cannot grasp why those damn chuds can resist their all powerful diplomas

>toxicity is CRITICALtry making something with value then, you wasteful cuntsyou know whats toxic? my water, thanks to you and your ilk
>>743310592A real watershed moment for me (please look past the buzzwords) was when I went down the MtG woke rabbithole and tried discussing it with my both Christian and right-leaning buddies. It came up naturally across multiple conversations because I refused to buy real cards and get proxies from China instead. I explained how retarded black Aragorn from the LotR set was, how pozzed the more designs were, and how shitty the >50% non-magic sets would be going forward to a favorable response of "yeah this really sucks".Guess who bought the last 3 magic sets on release?
>>743311520They are still upset that their hail mary Asscreed Shadows got spiked down by chuds.Maybe if they hired people with more Savvy than fucking wiki troons the fake professor shit could have been avoided
>>743296982>Raising Good Gamers initiative
>>743311487>>743311363Oh, ok. Since it's Ubisoft, I thought it was something insane like 'you can never buy the game, you can only pay to rent for 72hr periods' or something.>>743311652The kind of behavior you describe is exactly why something like Sony going discless will succeed. Actual gamers and people who care about the medium will probably balk and seek out emulators or just stop buying Sony stuff, but that's maybe 3-5% of the people buying and playing vidya these days. The other 95-97% are goycattle who just want a frictionless device to play their annualized ball and gun slop.
>>743310592Healthy and realistically misanthropic pilled.People are easily preyed upon through a mixture of hope and misinformation.
>Beyond fiscal year 2026-27 the Group expects a significantly bigger content pipeline over fiscal year 2027-28 and fiscal year 2028-29 across its major brands including Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry and Ghost ReconA new Ghost Recon game coming in a few years. I hope they go back to being more tactical than the last few games, but knowing Ubisoft it'll probably be some live-service garbage chasing the R6:Siege audience
>>743311978
>>743311978doubt ubisoft will survive the next few years
>>743311503They have a ton of good IPs, it's just that the games they make with them are dogshit. Best case scenario would be that they crash and burn and then their IPs are bought by individual companies.
>>743312219Nindendo please boughted Rayman please
You're all too mean. They have a literal Video Game Veteran on board. Why he even has 10 years of experience. He was even there the first day Fortnite was available to play.
>>743312408Holy fuck, an Ancient Gamer
>>743311978>In the coming years prioritizing toxicity and without French, Canadian and American taxpayer money we'll maintain our shit proselytizing while expecting growthLol, lmao
>>743308227Corporations are above the law. A little money laundering here and there (like in pedowood movies) and theyll be pumping out more anti white greedy drivel soon enough.
>>743311978>Far Cry>Ghost Recon>major brandsThis makes me think of that Sony image with all of their IPs on this chart that rates major/minor, and it being totally out of touch.
>>743296916This just means it's not safe to play an online Ubisoft game because you can be banned for no reason and you'll never talk to a human to solve the issue.The old days of safe online gaming like 2004 World of Warcraft are over. Back then you would just block someone that would harass if you wanted, I personally only blocked Chinese gold farmers and I could speak with a game master within 15 to 45 minutes at any time if I encountered a bug that made me lose an item or anything else, totally unlike the modern toxicity of online games where you can be harassed by the devs or automatic reporting/bans at any point with no recourse.
>>743300438>>743300538Looks like most of their cash flow doesn't come from operation. Is the Quibec deal still going?
>>743308227legitimately impressive that covid, the time when everyone stayed indoors and bought a bajillion video games, is a net loss for them
>>743309305>Are you a financial expert?ERM ARE YOU A DOCTOR???HOW DARE YOU SUGGEST ALTERNATIVE TREATMENT FOR COVID LIKE GETTING A GOOD NIGHT OF SLEEP FOR NATURAL IMMUNITY!
>>743313115It reminds me more of the>UM, SOURCE???>provide authoritative source>WELL, ARE YOU A (subject matter expert in the topic)??type of shit. But it's also easy to put those types in a corner by giving them objective data and asking a simple 'Is this number higher or lower than this other number, yes or no?' question. They usually just run away.
>>743301225>employee benefits almost as high as deferred tax liabilitiesWhat the FUCK are they doing there? Are they literally feeding those frogs caviar?
>>743313225pensions or something, i assume
As long as they have Assassin's Creed Ubisoft will never die. Fucking Nintendo has a bigger chance of going bankrupt.Even /v/ defended Ubisoft the day of the latest AC remaster launch.
>>743313115>Still obsessed with covid in 2026grim
>>743313209They usually pretend to not understand. The whole "leftists are stupid but have a good heart, but right-wing have no heart!"When their scam fails, like those subsidized grocery stores in New York, they can claim that they were just stupid instead of being outright corrupted and stealing funds.

>>743313225Hey now. When the board sat down for that one meeting and went yes let's make [video game] they worked really hard and deserve a six figure bonus for that days work.
>>743313514>Devs that censored the game now get censored from the company
>>743313225Apparently they have office wine coolers so it's not that much of a stretch.

the odyssey is no different than assassins creed shadows
>>743301120Correct, but this is the first year we get to see how bad the damage is, and how much the Tencent fire sale took out of them. And it turns out AC shadows did even fucking WORSE than anyone thought as well, as they had to revise 2025.
>>743313591There's more censorship coming from FLQ/LQA minions than actual developers. It's the easiest way to infiltrate the industry.
>>743301350This is one of the biggest goddam video game companies in the world. These are the most accurate figures on their game performance that can't be cheated by the press. Get the fuck out and filter it if you can't handle it.
>>743313675It's just a normal accounting term, anon.>https://www.investopedia.com/terms/g/goodwill.aspI wish 'ill will' was one, though.
>>743313845it was funnier when i was imagining actuaries running social media sentiment through their little tables
>>743313225Ubisoft France has crazy employee benefits including monthly massage and employee-club activities.Still shouldn't be that high tho.
>>743304050It turns out that emergency partial sale to Tencent is only going to give them another year or two of runway. Next games are do or die. Also, Black Flag's budget was north of 200 million fucking dollars, with marketing, so 2 million in sales isn't going to cut it. They're also wasting more money on DEI and calling it mental health services. >>743301475You motherfucker. >>743304292You idiots have been saying buy since it was at 35 a share.
>>743297080The world would be a better place if retards like you, who are always deferring to the "official specialist opinion" (often a scam), had their right to vote revoked.
>>743304562NOPE. >>743303937Yeah, but now they're admitting it in documents they can go to jail if they lie on.
>>743313935Those companies would just bot the absolute fuck out of it or choose to interpret it their own way, like how Sony says Marathon has 'strong engagement.'
>>743314084actuaries wouldn't stand for that, they're too autistic
>>743311503Tencent's plan is to kill Ubisoft as a company and put their IPs into a studio they control.Ubisoft dying benefits them, bigly, in one certain man's words.
non sensical financial verbose. it's wild how these fucks convince themselves writing these reports is even useful. what a bunch of worthless leeches
>>743314137i can imagine a tencent AC, and it's incredible that it somehow seems even more soulless. negative soul
>>743314137ai think everyone vastly overvalue those ip. maybe 10-15 years ago farcry and asscreed were fine but they have been shit for too long. That boat has sailed
Another legacy gaming company that is fucking dead. We're heading for 1986 2.0 at this rate.
>>743314180you have to understand how retarded the modern investor is
>>743312385When's the last time an active publisher buying out an IP has led to anything good, its almost always just left to rot in favor of the buyer's own IP anyways
>>743307865No. It can literally go to a fraction of a euro. like they have shit at €0.025>>743308227Literally inertia.
>>743309305I suspect it's shilling trying to protect investor confidence. Ubisoft already directly blames this place or the bad reception to skull and bones, outlaws and shadows, and has had shit directly targeted at managing their rep here.
>>743314395>Ubi shares at a fraction of a centI would sincerely buy $500 of Ubisoft at that point, because it's basically equivalent to a crypto memecoin.>>743314468No one with any serious stake in Ubisoft is posting on /v/. Ubisoft is just a line item in a big spreadsheet with a number next to it, and all they care about is whether that number is bigger than it was last month.
>>743313935That is actually something that needs to be done in a business combination if it can be determined that (accounting) goodwill associated with a brand exists. It's not done by analyzing social media posts, though - the business valuators are more concerned with "what this is worth" in the sense of stuff like how much money it would cost to license the brand or how much a company's operating income would differ with or without the brand.>>743313845>I wish 'ill will' was one, though."Badwill" is a (very infrequently used) term for the rarer situation where a business is sold for less than it's book value. Usually a business is sold for more than it's book value, and this difference comes from the difference in fair value and book value of the company's assets (and liabilities), especially intangible assets which might have a really big difference in fair value compared to book value (because accounting standards are usually pretty strict on what you're allowed to capitalize for intangible assets.) "Negative goodwill" is the more common (and more accurate) term for this situation, which I can definitely see happening to Ubisoft.
>>743311978LOL. They shut down the Wildlands studio and fired everyone there. And R6/X division now has people who hate guns and the police on it. They don't have any gun owners or military vets in any key positions, even as advisors last I checked. I expect the Sheeboon team at 343 to look like Green Berets by comparison, and by that I mean Melissa Sheboon, so don't > me.
>>743312787They need a source of illegal cash to money launder. Unless they're shipping black tar heroin out of Ubisoft signapore, the aren't making up that gap.
>>743314951>negative goodwillIsn't that just an impairment loss, though? Like how Sony wrote off $1b of the $3.7b it paid for Bungie?
>>743297080>make game people want to play>said people buy the game>???>profitit's LITERALLY that simple, not my fault that suits are all brain damaged
>>743313312They sold off a quarter of that just for operating cash for the next year or two.
MWAHH THE FRENCH
>>743297197Having an outlet where you can just act however you want and not having to worry about real life sensibilities was a fun place and good for mental health. Now everyone is constantly hounded by real life even online with notifications and other random shit because all that stuff is instant now.
>>743315212Average Corpo-Cuck:>"yes yes, we only listen to the people that are speaking words we want to hear and look good on our policy of promoting multi-cultural globalist homosexual diversity rather than bread and circuses for normal people, wait, why did our records drop down to 3% from 100% possible profits from last release? isn't this what people want? don't people want to be indoctrinated into the gay and woke lifestyle? what do you mean people don't like being told what to do by the people at the top nooooo!?!!?!?"
>>743297197>toxicthe fact that you use this word at all to describe normal human interactions shows just how terminal the brainrot is
>>743315331at least when we could be toxic we had a clear 1v1 rules of respect: you are toxic to me? I'll be toxic to you, no third world niggers trying to dox, raid or rob you or kill you over words on the internet, some people just have to go from real life and internet permanently to six feet under, no trials required, just their statement they are promoting this behavior and they get their doctor's treatment on the spot.
>>743314137Tencent is in a no lose situation. If Ubisoft sells well, they get a quarter of rev off the top. If they blow it, they get the IP without an open market fight.
>>743296982reading that absolute volume of performative feel-good safe buzzwords with no meaning in that section made me want to gouge my eyes out
>>743314237Is that worse than Yasuke?
>>743314392Nintendo actually makes video games
>>743296916Statistically speaking getting rid of toxic players does make the rest of the playerbase play more and therefore spend more.
Is Jewbisoft doomed yet? Can't wait for those kosher frogs to go bankrupt.
>>743314838>No one with any serious stake in Ubisoft is posting on /v/.I meant contractors. They probably have a few up anyways for the AC black flag reboot. Why not add one more task?
>>743314395>No. It can literally go to a fraction of a euro. like they have shit at €0.025Penny stocks on the national exchange in the big old 2026
>>743315590ah yes, protecting the modern audience is always a great idea
>>743315460Same thing Tencent did with Highguard.>if it does well, we maintain our investment and start seeing revenue>if it flops, we have an escape clause to gtfoBased Chinks know what they're getting into with these western devs.
>Still blame people not buying their games as if they're entitled to their walletsHave a nice trip to the bottom of the abyss of irrelevance, Ubisoft.
>>743314951>"Negative goodwill"My ultra traditionalist japanese relatives have that for Ubisoft now, after what they had in their game about the Oda Oishi Emperess Mother.
>>743301384Canadaman? Ubisoft is based in France
>>743315057I think AQUIRING the bad reputation is an impairment loss. Negative goodwill is how it's represented ongoing.
>>743315057Impairment testing is sort of related to a decline in fair value, but it's distinct since there does need to be an indication the asset is impaired (although for assets like goodwill, you do need to test it for impairment ever year, which is what Sony did for the Bungie acquisition) and you need to consider both the cash flows the asset can generate and the fair value in determining if there is an impairment loss and how much (this is under IFRS; it's probably a bit different for US GAAP).Negative goodwill is basically when, in a business combination, the consideration the acquirer pays for the business is less than the fair value of the assets. This can happen for a number of reasons; the company is in financial distress, the buyer bargained very hard, the owners are keen to divest the business as quickly as possible, etc. It doesn't necessarily imply the business' assets are impaired; this would be a separate test if it is determined the assets may be impaired. (and, regular goodwill is when more than fair value is paid for the business, assumed to be the result of unidentifiable intangible assets which would cause a purchaser to pay more for the business than an otherwise identical business that lacks these unidentifiable intangibles)>but you said "book value"That was a mistake. I should have written, "[Negative Goodwill] is a ... term for the rarer situation where a business is sold for less than it's fair value." Usually, businesses do go for (what is very close to) their fair value due to the nature of business combinations (where the negotiations are usually pretty long and involve a business valuator, among other parties.)
>>743315895>the assetsThe NET assets, I should say.
>>743315590Do you think handing banhammer powers over to the most freako people ad UBISOFT is going to get rid of toxic players?
>>743315968Yeah, in the same way a general purge is going to get rid of fascist wreckers as a side-effect of getting rid of basically everyone.
>>743315613They still have some lottery tickets like AC Hexe. And they have possibly one more emergency sale possible.But we can see that they are in such a big fucking hole structurally, that even a 2 million sale launch on AC black flag Reboot isn't nearly enough
>>743315968>>743316091so far none of that has happened, all games are infested with cheaters and hackers who ruin vidya for a living every single match is infested by a large number of bot/hacker accounts. (the corporations benefit from this, therefore they won't shut this shit down when they can use these numbers to say "look, our game is being played." when its clearly not.)
>>743315552Nintendo doesn't really buy out studios with existing IPs often. They just take the staff like they got the handful of guys that were still left at Hudson when Konami snatched up their IPs
>>743316303Nintendo ended up with studio Mario Party. Konami ended up with Bombergirls. I think both won.
>>743315902>left wing memes>when you kill nazis lol>right wing memes>words words words words words
>>743308227theyre tax funded, they have studios in numerous countries like japan and singapore despite those studios doing nothing
>>743297080Funny how Asian game companies don't have Ubishit's problems, it's as if it's totally avoidable.
>>743315895Thanks for the explanation, finance anon.>>743315968People? M8, Ubisoft is going to buy some anti-wrong think AI platform that bans people based on some bullshit training data it has where you can't call anyone a retard.
>>743316708It's the first woman prime minister of Quebec's history that is responsible for this shit too and she still brags about it as if it was positive to this day.>It attracted tech talentsWho will leave the minute the subsidies ceases, it's all losses no gains.
>>743300538holy shitthat's their largest ever loss this is because they write their games off over a couple of years so all that R&D gets expensed

>>743313339>having a long term memory is being obsessedFunny how people bemoan the fact that voters don't have a long term memory but people don't note how it's actively promoted and then punished or attempt to ridicule you if you have one.
>>743313514>strike>to protest layoffshow does that work?
>>743296889lmao gotta love the schizo AAA
>>743315227>Two more weeks!You've been predicting the death of Ubisoft for a decade and still nothing. Ubisoft is pretty much immortal. It will never die.
>>743317137found it 151 million euros in total assistance
>>743317474what have ubsioft key talents done in the last few games? other than be hated for the changes or opinions they tried to push?
>>743300538Why the fuck did their R&D costs almost double since last year? Haven't they been laying people off?
>>743313514I like how it's in English because they know it's the only language that matters.
>>743317505>singaopre - 0singapore kicked them out after ubisoft used their money on other shit and released pic
>>743317580honestly could be AI training costs or something like it
>>743317505>113 million of it from canada alonetruly the most cucked nation on earth
>>743317343It's been 6 years, yeah i call that obsessed when somebody just randomly brings up covid for no reason
>>743309126Because most "experts" simply aren't. They credentialed. A major problem with any specialization is that it breed hubris in people who aren't near as intelligent or capable as they now believe themselves to be upon receiving their credentials. It also creates blind spots as they are unable to think outside the box of their specialization. This creates "experts" who operate under series of assumptions that often do not apply, or have to ignore conflicting data to continue to maintain the belief they are an "expert." It's the "Fine in theory, bad in practice," instantiated into human form.Some of the smartest people you can meet hold a PhD or a Master's, and most of those people are some of the dumbest motherfuckers on this planet, along with all the other college educated up to the PhDs who clearly weren't that bright when you met them. And it's not because they are genuinely unintelligent, but because they think having an education means they know and understand more than people who don't have a credential but have been actually working in the field for 20 years instead of just learning the academic theory behind it. Or they assume that basic things, like adding up numbers on a sheet, is esoteric knowledge that only they are capable of doing.
>>743317505and they call youtubers with opinions they don't like Grifters, when their corp masters and funded activists are the biggest leeches.
>>743317580It's because r&d is written off over time in accounting aka "amortisation"You record them on the balance sheet first and then reclassify them to expenses over time Ass Creed Shadows and Star Wars Outlaws costs are likely a large chunk of that
>>743317430Like a studio closure party.
>>743317505THE LEAFBEHIND EVERY SHIT GAME
>>743311851>The kind of behavior you describe is exactly why something like Sony going discless will succeed.That only succeeds if they put out games to placate the sheep. Right now all indications is that Sony is killing discs, but isn't cutting out the rot that made them need to cut out discs in the first place.
>>743296889WHERE. ARE. THE. YASSSUKE. SALES!?
>>743297080Because the insights, analytics and consultation of the people who do NOT play video games worked out so well for them. Lol, lmao even.
>veee would rather read financial reports than play gamesembarrassing
>>743300538Holy shit. No wonder they pulled the Tom Clancy's The Division: Resurgence Steam launch (mostly because they have no story content until DECEMBER for it, and it fucking launched on Mobile in MARCH!)
>>743317624>Singapore kicked them outNope. In fact, I think the Singaporean studio was the one who led the Black Flag remake project.
>>743318184I'd rather do just about anything else than play Ubishit games.
>>743317624I love how they keep trying to force that Netflix "AN UBISOFT ORIGINAL!" as if that is a mark of a good game instead of outright SLOP now.
>>743317979>that only succeeds if Sony puts out gamesActually, Sony makes most of its money from store fees like Valve does. The store fees from GTA6 alone will almost certainly make them more net revenue than Wolverine, Intergalactic, and the next Horizon game combined. Sony knows the PS6 just needs to be a device through which people play their favorite (non Sony) franchises, which is exactly what the PS5 is.
>>743308227So the massive loss is due to the George Floyd Assasins Creed? Or was that in 2025?
>>743317731No reason? It's because journalists kept going "Are you a doctor???" which now they are doing the "Are you an investor???". Bo back to read books and learn some literacy before posting again.
>>743317824So... they just lie and say they didn't spend that money yet? How the fuck is that legal?
>>743308227>2019-20 is when they went Epig>Start to see them immediately go broke following itVictora Justice Interesting.gif
>>743318468It's this year, but technically last year/25 since they released it RIGHT before FY25 ended to try to cushion the blow.
normalfaggots will go out there and buy anything we had a shot at taking them down spoiled and soiled
>>743318184
>>743308227These are Ubisoft releases for 2026 so far/upcoming>3 actual games, of which all 3 are remakes>rest are mobile slopso when you hear black flag resynced sold 2 million, that 2 million sales is against $1.5 billion loss lmao
>>743317505
>>743318532No, it's an international accounting standard to do with intangible assets to recognize their value to the organisation being used up over time.
>>743318875I still don't understand how they spent 1.5 billion in a single year
>>743318875The saddest thing is that Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition, an anthology of old as fuck games, is the most attractive thing among those games.>legends retold Who asked for this? Legends is available on nine different platforms!
>>743308227>The operating margin moved from −11% to −95%, while the net margin reached −109%. >In practical terms, the company lost about €1.09 for every €1 of sales after all expenses.Holy shit lmao
>>743319153they likely did not as r&d takes 1-8 years (for games at least) to fully amortise so you could be adding stuff from years and years ago amongst other things like game engines which can take up to 10 years
>>743296982
>>743319153I'm guessing the multiple project cancellations, studio restructures and closures, all that shit has to be declared on their financialsthat's on top 2025 having literally 4 game releases>mobile game>assassins creed shadows>just dance 2026>anno 117
>>743319021That's one of the highest concentrations of cancer I've seen out of a nuclear waste dump.
>>743312990Yes but the reason for the positive cash flow is the tencent purchase which Ubisoft ran though a lot of.
>>743319361>>743319514>it's just the mistakes from all the previous years compounded into one year that they had to disclosethat actually makes more sense
>>743317505>>743317685To be fair, most of that is tax credits. Grants is only 4 million euros from France
>>743319153As >>743319361 said, they amortize the cost over its life. You can compare it to the Cash Flow statement where they actually show the cash leaving the door rather than accounting's mumbo jumboWhats interesting is the intangible asset seems to be made up of mostly old cost rather than new ones. Seems like they can't get a project started other than cheap remakes.
>>743320020Here is the note that explains it more
>>743320020>Ubisoft can't start new projectsNot surprising since the whole company is in turmoil and they just closed what, four studios in the last two months? With Ubisoft's fucked up development model where all of their global studios do a tiny part of the same game, no wonder they can't start anything new because teams that would've done whole parts or systems of a game are simply gone.
>>743320086holy shit, that's some sneaky accounting tricks
>>743297080It's ok, Ubisoft is saved. Assassin's Creed Shadows WAS a success.
>>743309305ubi uses jeets (and now AI agents) to try to control any narrative about their imagestrong image equals strong share valueeverything else is secondary
Sources tell me Ubisoft is stable
>>743317474company doesn't necessarily have same priorities as you and thus doesn't view generational mold as valuable and is rather focusing on high performers as key talent.
>>743320370Been working real good for them over the years, as their stock price clearly indicates. LMAO
>>743320395Please god
>>743319924to be quite fr fr on god money you don't have to lose is almost as good as money you save.
>>743320020>Seems like they can't get a projectthe problem is more that they keep shutting down projects before they even take off, unless they have some government-level agreement forcing them to complete itat this stage the only IPs Ubisoft still develops for are>Assassins Creed>Anno>Just Dance>Rayman>Monopoly
>>743320432imagine if they did nothingthe fact they still even exist is testament to some kind of strong malarkey
>>743320492>>Assassins CreedThat's in decline.>BUT BLACK FAG REMAK--Decline. Just because a remake gets 2million sales doesn't mean Shadows didn't sink the I.P. and the I.P. has been declining since about... Origins or so. It's been losing less and less sales since then. It still "makes money" (bar Shadows, obviously) but it's no where near as hot as it was 15-20 years ago.I'd even say Anno and Rayman are in a similar predicament. Where Rayman is only known for Rabbids as this point.No. Ubisoft is a Just Dance company at this point.
>>743320484Yeah but there's a difference between money taken from Joe Taxpayer and given to you vs getting to keep more of the money your business earned.
What I don't understand is how am I expected to be deradicalized by this when I'm just not going to fucking play it.
>>743320403This. Time spend on company doesn't make you talented.
>>743320720Yeah but that means Canada loses that tax revenue, meaning there is now ubisoft sized hole in their budget meaning they either have to rise some tax again or cut some public spending to make up for it.One way or other canadian tax payer is worse off.
>>743315359Pretty much, people shit talk each other all the time. Thin skin retards are the only ones in need of a hugbox.
>>743309305its like other anons pointed out. its ubishills. they are easy to spot too. they all type the same and use uncommon filenames and facebook-tier images

This extra step is entirely unnecessary.

>>743321914Government knows best!
>>743321108Those tax credits are often conditional on R&D spending or climate investment or something that is perceived to be of benefit to canadian society by the powers that be. In addition that additional revenue might be what's keeping ubisoft in business at this point, thus keeping it's employees in a job and paying income tax. So it's not just as simple as less revenue for Canadian government.

>>743296889Asked my girlfriend to read it, and she's saying they're having a bad time.
>>743309305My spicy take is that Babel was something used for once or that it was created by some faggot on /v/ just to spam these shitty threads. I have no fucking interest in the financial report of Ubisoft since i am not one of its shareholders, this thread is just here to shit the board and it feels like you pretend not to understand why people tell OP to fuck off. The moment when anons will realize that you aren't that many in your raids and you shit your pants at the slightest pushback while posting CP, is the moment pseudo journos and steam charts posters go back to their echo chambers.

You're deathly afraid of people talking about what a failure ubisoft currently is. Are you supporting them financially or are they paying you?
>>743331101That's actually a different anon pointing out your stupidity, but I'll still reply. The inherent stupidity of your position>only discuss physical, actually video gamesimplies that any other kind of thread, such as one about controllers, console hardware, a famous dev dying or giving an informative podcast, industry leaked info, or other shit would not be acceptable board content, which is just fundamentally retarded.For those reasons and you being generally unintelligent, I humbly invite you to stop posting and consider roping.

>>743322551LMAO at you trying to be hard. You're a fucking joke for even spending your time on an Ubisoft game.
I am beyond desperate for Assassin's Creed Hexe to be a really violent, grim and dark game with superb writing and amazingly fun immersive gameplay. I fear it won't be any of that except pretty to look at.Also, how much money did Ubisoft made so far from Assassin's Creed Shadows minus development costs and marketing?
>>743301197>valhalla (...) badwasn't valhalla the best selling AC game period?
>>743335680>Also, how much money did Ubisoft made so far from Assassin's Creed Shadows minus development costs and marketing?"We don't talk about those numbers, we focus on how many players we engage" was their response the last time an investor asked. Didn't know they could do that.
>>743318140>insights, analytics and consultation of the people who do NOT play video games worked out so well for themWhat? When did they consult /v/?
>>743320432>>743320510They fucked up by hiring shillfirms that only report mentions/interactions and not that every thread they start is filled to the brim with bait because they get paid by the bump. People end up associating ubisoft games with the biggest most annoying morons.
>>743335680ubisoft getting the show stolen from them with the witch stuff by the 1666 amsterdam guys was fucking hilariousimagine if we're getting a second E33 scenario with ubisoft getting clowned on by former ubisoft devs that formed their own studio

>>743313003I think there's an argument to be made that the masses consuming more media made them more discerning in the long run, ran out of lowest common denominator trash and saw how much better things could be
>>743318041They're refusing to break them out, but since Yasuke's game was the only AAA or higher release, it's pretty easy to estimate. It spent like AAAA and sold like shit.
>>743318301Nominally. It was actually montpiler. And because they're using skull and bones shit.
>>743318468Partially. They are unable to hide how much the 2024 bombing run of Skull and Bones AAAAPOP Lost crown. High AAAAvatar movie tie in. High AAASW Outlaws. High AAAextending to 2025AC Shadows. AAAAand 2026. POP Sands of time reboot. AAA. Never released.fucking cost them.>>743319514After AC shadows, they pulled EVERYBODY for a global reorganization, Then later discovered that the POP sands of time reboot, had turned out to be a giant pyramid scam, like new Perfect Dark, but even fucking worse. This was so bad that Montpiler was unable to save the game. They ended up shutting down Ubisoft Pune, and pulling the plug on the crown jewel of their push into indian development.
>>743338413>Ubisoft PuneMore like Ubisoft POO LMAOOO
>>743320020>Whats interesting is the intangible asset seems to be made up of mostly old cost rather than new ones. Seems like they can't get a project started other than cheap remakes.And with POP failing, they can't even get their cheap remakes working. It's signs of a possible final death spiral. THAT many fucking employees and they can't launch anything new? They can't get their remakes out the door in a timely fashion?EIther they don't have the people, or they can't get them the right resources even with all that cash and human power.
>>743297080kek really got them butt blasted

Downright preculiar.
>>743322959>>743323125Why the fuck you blaming us? it turns out the entire fucking world did not want a Prince of Persia starring Killmonger, advertised with a Rap music soundtrack. Game sold like ass, bad enough to kill the studio and affect Rouge prince of persia. They had a go ahead to use a middle eastern or indian looking dude for DEI points and they STILL went full floyd. That retardation is not our fault.The game itself was only OK. Still the best of their AAA releases in a while.
>>743323586 Holy shit, you're autistic.
>>743324242Literally yes. They celebrate people who advocate for that. I'm not fucking kidding. Oh, and technical precision. It's not made up of brown people. It's made up of white LGBT people who pretend to care about brown people.
>>743338917can you elaborate on what i am apparently blaming you for i was just making fun of retards for missing out on a great time
>>743296889UBSFY bros how we feelin’?
>>743331303And not just a failure. This is pretty much the biggest single year loss in video game history. Atari's loss needs to be inflation adjusted to match. With Xbox fucking up, and Sony screwing bungling bungie, Ubisoft still manages to lose more.
>>743313527>mentally ill brown LGBT peopleyou mean mentally ill cumskin faggots lmao
>>743337446...except the relative success of poorly animated horse girl pics called a game tells me that trash is still in. Ubisoft is just deliberately going out of their way to not give the players the trash they like.
>>743297080>Oh boy I cant wait for all the professional business analysts on fucking /v/ to give their totally intelligent and well founded opinions on this exciting and important news….You could grab a random white male gamer off the street and give them dictator powers over the company and they would probably do better than whoever is in charge right now

>>743297080So you are saying the company is fine and should not change anything?
>>743338839They need outside organizations, getting government grants, and giving out accredidations in protecting their employees. >But if that is you, we invite you to consider this: have you ever used the rejection of a label to justify not learning something about yourself? (For example: “This video isn’t for me because it’s about racism and I’m not Black.”)It's literally white green haired freaks telling black gamers they need to care about black people in the same way that the freaks do. The best part is that their OWN RESEARCH shows their games being fucking shit at getting gamers what they want, and their solution is to attack the gamers.
>>743339223You are correct. It turns out they only got the white allies from SBI. I was confused because of their MASSIVE BBC fetish. It turns out much of their black representation is in .jpg form.
>>743339595I look like this
The truth with these failing companies is if they let random joes fucking create they wouldn't have this problem. the geniuses that are gonna create a 10/10 game aren't people like Mr Tranny and Miss Nigger.the people who have the potential to make good games are average retards school dropouts like you and me. most AAA companies have retarded past experience requirements to even get an entry level position job. If they'd let autists create now and then it wouldn't be so bad.
>>743317779In this era, with AI, you can learn any skill by yourself. Colleges are becoming obsolete, and I am glad.
>>743317505And I can't rub two cents together to save my life. These people lose millions and get rewarded with bonuses. Fuck this world. Abuse the system.
>>743300538All they had to do was make more sexy Rabbid games. It was that simple.
>>743297080its all a bunch of investor talk. show the games, everything else is hot air
remeber that skat dodge ball game ?or that extreme sport racing game ?why do they keep doing that stupid bullshit?they have the formula to print money. just take the division and add a zombie/monster skin over it.jesus chirst they are fucking retarded.
>>743317474I'm pretty sure it's like 15 years too late to talk about retaining talent, all the actually good people left a long, long time ago
>>743297080Yes and?
>>743297718I'm pretty sure Trackmania has a chat
>>743296889we won again ubibrosgames WILL be killed
>>743322410Gottem
>>743297080Reported you to Ubisoft for spreading toxicity in our online discussion. Enjoy your ban :)
>>743300438>cash flow positive from investment activitiesOof.
>>743300538Something stinks with that all that money lost on "R&D"
>>743319021This is Justin Trudeau's cabin.
So fellow video game bizzers, are we gonna smoke this cigar? There's still a puff left ;) heh we can short it on the actuary sub prime fund, then fast track to the caribbean or seychelles, equity max till the cat bounces and we're in the clear, but not before we take out a billion in insurance for Big Ben, the forecast is bullish, like a bear in a forest. Anyway, let's see anons businessings
>>743309305concern trolling is not new in the slightest, it has been a staple of pilpul that kike shills have used on this site for over 10 years
>>743297080errm akshually dei and woke is why they losing money...I am very smart...
>>743322410yes helicopter crashes can be caused by malfunctions or bad weathereven in your little metaphor you're still retarded
>>743339595>It turns out much of their black representation is in .jpg form.now that's a fucking zingeralso imagine making a worse nigga than the ones depicted via globohomo memphis, that's a real twisted talent right there
>>743343180weird how every western developer has simultaneously been crashed due to """""""malfunctions"""""" and """""""""""""""""""bad weather""""""""""""""""""""""""" isnt it
>>743342878>don't discuss ubiwoke failing spectacularly, goyim!shalom, hymie!
>>743296889>france loses world cup>now thisS
>>743343281no...games as a product just don't make that much moneyphone games, gachas and live service games make money but are too competitive and the costs to develop or acquire IP is too high and coupled with hardware shortages right now gaming is in a bad place financiallythe abundance of flops as of late is developers trying to skirt the IP investment and basically shooting in the darkit has literally nothing to do with politics except incidentally...
>>743343525>games dont make much moneyyou know videogames are the biggest entertainment industry, right?>hebraic nonsensehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bEZQ00OOxY

>>743297080what happens when you listen professional business analysts
>>743296889>>743296916>>743296982i'm not a suit, how do i read this?
>>743343886please leave and stay on reddit where you belong goldstein
>Far Cry long dead and they have no fucking clue what to do with it>Nobody gave a shit about the Avatar game until the 3rd movie came out>Splinter Cell will straight up never come out>Rayman's first game in years is a remake of the game that objectively needed it the least>AC gets maybe one good game a decadeFully bought out by the chinks or saudis by 2030 mark my words.
>>743343910You see that top line? >>743300438>Consolidated Profit(loss)?Parenthesis means a negative number and the units are in millions. The middle one is how much they lost between march 2025 and 2026.. The one on the right is how much they lost the year before, which they were wrong about, because they lost more money.Yes. They announced that they lost over 1.5 BILLION euros, in one year. And almost a quarter billion last year.
>>743322410That's how people actually do react whenever a woman fucks something up.
>>743297080>professional business analystsnot even a real job
>>743297080I made 17K off a 3x short before MSFT announced earnings, knowing that Xbox shit the bedwhat have you done?
>>743344014I'm still in shock they managed to completely fuck up the sands of time remake
>>743297080You already knew the knee jerk replies you were gonna get
>>743345907God that was so funny. If that didn't prove you shouldn't hire jeets I don't know what will.
>>743297197Thats what caused the current of state you dense cunt.
>>743348778no, that was caused by retarded parents giving kids completely unrestricted/unsupervised internet access and them complaining to the government about them seeing bad shit
>>743296889Yasuke save us!
>>743296916>>743296982It's long past time for Ubisoft to just lay down and die already.
>>743343908What's crazy is that the average anon could easily save them, but professional analysts will kill them
>>743348950They should at least sell all of their IPs first
>>743349034There's nothing to really salvage there.
>>743349010The middle manager's job isn't to make money but to make sure the losses get blamed on someone else.
>>743343281>that fucking pic
>>743349050They still have many beloved IPs, like raymanBut they're so incompetent they couldn't even port rayman 1 to pc properly
>>743342316>>743347671>>743345907A big chunk of that is ubisoft's entire India adventure. They spent over a billion fucking dollars being the number one game developer in india. They were on site, built the best physical studio in the entire country, had their choice of the very best game makers the country had to offer. And it turned out to be all a giant scam. And because their mindset was so 100 percent DEI, promoting brown, promoting women, promoting people of color oriented, they never detected the fraud, even with all their fucking managers, until they were high AAA budget into the thing.>>743339163I can, but you just admitted yourself that you don't give a fuck and were just screwing around. You tried to be clever to own the chuds, but all you did was highlight Ubisoft's BBC fetish being a massive financial failure.
>>743338637Protecting them from job security too in that case>no honest opinions allowed>game flops>lose job
>>743349034>>743349050The Tencent deal is already starting the process. They've boxed out a full fair market sale of their IP, plus a big amount of all future revenue in exchange for some short term cash, and not losing control of the company. I could only imagine what Tom Clancy would say to the CCP owning his IP.
>>743342878Reputation management here wants to paper over that they lost 1.7 BILLION Fucking dollars. >>743345469I think Ubi is looking pretty vulnerable to a short ladder attack. I'm not saying it's fucking over, but if they're losing the ability to make new games instead of rehashes of old shit, then it really is fucking over.Pic related. Is supposed to be out this year, but no sign of it.
>Toxicity in games and services>HighIs there a "Very High" or "Ultra" we can aim for?
>Loss of key talents and skills>HighPray tell, when was the last time you HAD talent and skills? Rayman 2?>>743349281What's wild is that Rayman Redemption exists, is free, and gapes the official PC port.
>>743345907They outsourced to jeets. There was no saving it.
>>743296889>>743300438>>743300538>>743301225>i-it's over...
>>743352253Not even outsource. This wasn't a team they ordered work from. They hired their own division. Trained them. Gave them a studio. Gave them executive positions. Fed them for 15 years. Won fucking awards from
>>743343910Like 90% of financial reports>Heres some data and heres some insane schizobabble on how we are going to make it better
>>743352828Do they even HAVE a plan?Digging. It seems they want to go from not releasing games to giving up on the concept of releasing games.>Assassin’s Creed, FarCry and Ghost Recon>Rainbow Six Siege>in addition, some Ubisoft games touch on a wide range of subjects including autism, slavery, or the experiences of combat troops in the First World War through the letterssent by soldiersWait, what was the autistic Ubisoft game? Rabbids?
>>743296889Bashing? Nah, they bashed their bloody h*cking brains out very effectively.
>>743296916>>743296982So when are these woke faggots going bankrupt Reminder they used a Jew to rewrite Japanese history with yasuke You now remember we have an asscreed game in Japan and nobody cares
>>743300943It's simple. They make money from their customers. Investors expect returns.
>>743313992> Black Flag's budget was north of 200 million fucking dollars, How do they fuck up this much the game was already made fuck did they do?
>>743354030They certainly can't take another year or two like this one. A huge amount is riding on Hexe and Ghost Recon OVER. But they can still do one more major sell off.
>>743354356Massive internal turmoil post Shadows. Lost like a full year of work across the entire company to the chaos. Also, all the shit from Pune needed to be tossed out. Training the new people on UE, as this was a training game for Singapore.Also french execs from Ubisoft were caught using Singapore for sex vacations, an putting their girlfriends on the payroll. I'm counting that as embezzlement. Finally, they needed their DEI teams to make sure the game wasn't too sexy and to remake all the models that werren't empowering enough.Credits are several times longer than the original.
>>743330594>but who cares about a 72 hour timer
>>743297197It's inevitable that overseeing would happen when more people come to use internet. Like I always said, smartphones were a fucking mistake.
>>743354356AI tokens please understand.
>>743354563> Also french execs from Ubisoft were caught using Singapore for sex vacations, an putting their girlfriends on the payroll. I'm counting that as embezzlement.What?
>>743354790You think the thots making tiktoks have real jobs? They're paid for sex.
>>743296982This here is why modern gamedev is doomed to fail again and again. Instead of asking what players want you make the assumption that they're terrible toxic pieces of shit that need to be destroyed and then focus all your efforts on how you can fuck with them and bully them. Completely missing the fact that they are under no obligation to buy or play your slop. It's really not that hard to get you look at what is popular and what people enjoy and it's obvious that they like to express themselves in games and if you want them to spend money on microtransactions there's nothing better than sexy or cute characters and sexy or cute skins. It's that simple how can you spend millions on focus group research and still be off mark so hard?
>>743300993That's really the only respectable thing I can say about them.Don't get me wrong I utterly despise Ubisoft and consider them one of the worst things in the industry, but I do respect sticking to one's guns.
>>743301197I am so fucking mad about Ghost Recon man. No words do it justice.
>>743321724My king
>>743314237That's because you're a retarded nigger. The Chinese will absolutely do a better job than the pozzed, anti-white ubishits.
