So if I buy the game on my xbox and my dad and brother both play it on their gamertag, thats 3 players but 1 sale?

>>716149081 (OP)
How many of those actually bought the game and not just paid for a month of ubisoft's subscription service?

>>716150229
Yes.

PLAYERS ARE REAL PAYERS YOU STUPID FUCKING CHUDS

>>716150229
If you watch a stream on ps or if have a gamepass it counts as a player.

>>716149081 (OP)
6 million when?

>>716149081 (OP)
Hmmm this after they got called out in an investor's meeting? There's no way that they may be faking numbers right? Ubisoft wouldn't lie about these numbers.

>>716149081 (OP)

Still refuses to show sales figures JKEK

YES PLAYERS YOU RETARDS, TO BE A PLAYER YOU NEED TO FUCKING BUY A GAME HOLY SHIT IM SURROUNDED BY LITERAL RETRADS

>but le players instead of le sales!
You faggots should try to look up some officially released sales figures for previous games like Valhalla, Odyssey and Origins and see if you find anything. They haven't been disclosing sales numbers for almost a decade, it's like Bethesda, Skyrim is one of the best selling games of all time, but we don't know the exact amount of copies sold because it was never officially disclosed.

>>716149081 (OP)
>took a week from release to get 3 million "players"
>then 4 months to get 5 million

Grim.

some of u niggas really need to chill, you've spent probably more time obsessing with this shitty game than i spent playing, and keep it more in your minds than i ever did, months after finishing it

>players
lmao still coping with this metric?
also it took them 6 months to go from 3 to 5?

didn't they get bought by tencent? KEK

>>716151712
no you don't

>>716150229
No one knows but the non-retail shareholders because they have and never will explain what a "player" is in the metric.
It could be number of times the game launched, number of times the game has played for a segment amount of time, etc.

>>716151712
No you don't faggot you pay or get a free trail for Ubislop pass then play it for a bit.

>>716151723
Actually we do know Skyrim sold 60 million copies nowadays, but it took Bethesda over a decade to disclose that

>>716151173
>6 million players
>looks inside
>actually 275k copies sold
Ubicoast+ is real.

>>716150989
I've seen shitcoins with better charts. So much for the "traditional finance that is not a scam, bro".

>>716149081 (OP)
Even if it was 5 million sales the game would still not be profitable. Even with their player count cope their game flopped kek

>2 more millions months in, meaning that Ubishit dropped the price to hell
I don't think they'll see a profit on that one

It's really nice of them to give us an update that this game still hasn't made money.
But why would they do that?

>>716151712
but you're wrong

>>716149081 (OP)
cringe

>>716149081 (OP)
It should be illegal to use such vague metrics. If I'm an investor I need to know how many copies the game sold or at least "players" needs to be clearly defined.

>>716152319
>New quest unlocked: collect the lost watermelons (0/1,000)

So its all chinks then?

>>716150418
No, because you can easily fake that number, there's not actual data to prove if you downloaded a paid version or if it's Ubisoft that is botting the numbers

>>716152617
Apparently 26% of the players are chinks.

>>716149081 (OP)
Hi-Fi Rush had 3 million players and the studio got shut down

>>716152808
that's low but its high for a western game that doesn't fellate the chinese.
Turns out shitting on japs is right down their alley

>>716152015
That wasn't disclosed by Bethesda, it was an estimate

>2B stealth kills
i thought they removed 1hko stealth kills a long time ago? who the fuck is running around stabbing the same enemy multiple times?

>>716150418
that n word zesty

In all seriousness, if a game manages to become the third best performing game of the year so far in terms of revenue and still isn't profitable, that says more about how fucking retarded the budget for AAA games has gotten than anything else.

>>716152048
It would be a real miracle if there are more than 100k people in the whole world who have ubisoft+ subscription. Who the fuck would use that shit?
And the game is not on xbox gamepass.

>>716151712
No and here's how. I buy the game and then I play the game on my PS5 logged in with my PSN account. I then loan the disc to my friend who plays on his PS5 under his PSN account. After he is done I loan the disc to another friend who does the same.
Now let's do the math;
Sales = 1
Players = 3

>>716150418
so this is the modern audience... all 8 of zem

>>716153732
It is profitable though, the budget was said to be "over 100 million" which is on the low end of AAA budget, plus they also stated they were aiming for Odyssey and Origins numbers, not Valhalla.

>>716155037
This, Ubishit even said the biggest contributor to PC sales was Steam, the subscribers were likely a very small minority of the people who played the game.

But enough about ubishit

Is he dead or something? I haven't heard about him in months and every thread here used to be about him.

>>716155925
Then how come it has a 2 hour long credits sequence?

Just watch the recent Ubisoft shareholder meeting and you'll see how much in deep shit they are. They don't even want to give numbers and statistics out to their own fucking shareholders, because everything looks so bad.

There's a reason why Ubisoft was so desperate to get that Tencent deal. They needed money to pay off their 2 billion dollar debts. They probably have another billion or so of debt that they aren't disclosing.

>>716157146
He's too busy shitting himself now that his friend is being sued by that Kotaku journo both were obsessed with for the last few years.

>>716149081 (OP)
They counted snoys who watched the trailer as players. Plus there's Uplay+.
Even shareholders aren't falling for Ubisoft's bullshit.

>>716157146

>>716157463
thats good though

>>716150229
I work on app development and a lot of times metric are consciously or unconsciously exaggerated. For example you can have a SignUpViewed, which would be tracked when showing the SignUp view but what if there are multiple steps? What if there's some kind of refresh? What if the user goes back mid process? Those would count multiple times.
How does this apply to players in games?
>Buy in multiple platforms?
Count as multiple players.
>Play on game pass?
Another player even though they don't earn a cent.
>A friend lends you the disk (I don't know if this is possible nowadays).
It counts as another player.
>Nvidia GeForce for streaming or similar?
Another player
>Buy it from a sketchy key website?
Another player

>>716157463
GEEEEEG

>>716149081 (OP)
So If I talk about shitting on Ubisoft on /v/ do I count as a "player"?

>>716157146
Is he dead or something?

No, he's just posting as always.

>>716157146
He has been taking Ws after Ws on Xitter.

>>716149081 (OP)
So this basically confirms the game is a flop because 5 million is the absolute highest ceiling and the game sold lower than that.

Okay, what’s actually going on? Every month there’s some AAA release that gets into a huge controversy that almost gets it cancelled, and then it releases and gets more players than the last game.
How does this work? Is this sustainable???

>>716160679
Ubisoft has a sub service, I think you were able to play this new one for like 10 bucks or something and then just cancel again

>>716160679
At this point some AAA games are in a weird state of "too big to fail" and yet "too big to make the number go up", where they start reporting record player counts instead of their sales because of arbitrary reasons so that investors feel satisfied. And yet you do get some games that are crashing and burning hard, like Anthem, Redfall, Concord. Without actual sales numbers, we genuinely cannot tell how well Shadows did, and yet Ubisoft was openly on the face of bankruptcy or being taken over by Tencent in the wake of it all so they're using every trick in the book to inch out of failure.

>Players
Pathetic.

are people here retarded? ubisoft owns the subscription service, they pay nothing to license the library of games. it's not gamepass, Ubi+ is super unpopular so at most there's a couple hundreds of thousands of subs, if that. A sub to their service is a win because it's 100% profit and the average player wont beat it in a month

Naoe loses her home, Yasuke loses his sensei, Naoe goes after Nobunaga at one point thinking him responsible for what happened to her, Yasuke turns out to have been enslaved by Templars and saved by the Brotherhood so he spares Naoe when he sees her hidden blade. Nobunaga does seppuku with Yasuke as his second, and the new pair hunt down bad guys connected to the Templars, create a motley crew of allies in their own mini-Brotherhood group for localized work aaannnd..
well, that's kind of it. they kill certain targets, get their overall resolution, but the game is just a springboard point of pointing out the Templars and Brotherhood are warring over Japan now, there isn't actually some big overarching plot nor any continuation of the deity stuff from Odyssey/Valhalla/Mirage. you just resolve the character's personal arcs that span the game and get some DLC/sequel hook bait like the historical Kusanagi still being stolen after having recovered the other Imperial items.

>>716170169
It's not like there's a lack of story scenes, it's that it suffers the Ubisoft standard problem of "lets establish the basics of the plot in the first few hours, then actually resolve it in the last stretch, and everything in between is basically filler". But when your character's personal plots are almost literally based around the resolution against their final targets and the post-game bosses, that means every step on the way up to that point is just more fluff.
