>In a statement, Ubisoft boss Yves Guillemot described the quarter as featuring "mixed results".

MUH FIVE GORRILLION PLAYERS

Unrelated to the bait, but I've seen a bunch of earnings statements be disappointing for this quarter

Are we actually fucked?

Its not bait thoughbeit

We've been in a recession for awhile now.
Idiots will say there is no recession, below average people will say we've been in a recession since 2024, midwits will say we've been in a recession since 2020, and people who actually pay attention will realize that we never actually left the 2007/2008 recession.
Retards think line go up = economy guder, ignoring all the warning signs of an economy that's basically never going to recover.

>>716182891 (OP)
I like how investors grill the CEO, and his response is "go fuck yourself, our primary responsibility is to forces greater than you".

>>716182891 (OP)
It's always 'troubling' results for their financials because they're milking people with micro transactions very often. So whenever it's a hard quarter for them, just keep in mind it's just losses on predatory industry practices like some kind of in game feature that pushes players into spending money. Perhaps it wasn't trouble a while ago, but it was inevitably that it was going to result in a bad quarter because people get tired of it.

>>716183008
Ubisoft could drop a literal golden turd and still report “mixed results” as long as Skull & Bones hits their NFT quota or whatever they're shilling now. The execs aren't aiming for good games anymore, they're aiming for recurring revenue streams they can sell to shareholders in quarterly calls.

>>716182891 (OP)
It’s clear that the cheap and shitty “Ubisoft formula” is dated now. No one cares about generic boring stories with generic boring characters. No one cares about the mindless and easy gameplay without any depth. No one cares about the incredibly blatant and soulless skinner box format that feels like a single player MMO. Just make good games and not this shit that feels so corporate and by the numbers

>>716183039
>we
Are you a billionaire investor? Because if you're not, you were already fucked.

>>716186224
Also the new PoP metroidvania from last year, while feeling a bit too soulless at times, was a good game.

>ubisoft shareholder meeting
>shadows cost $100,000,000+ but Yves refused to give any specifics because apparently that information isn't important to share holders
>flatly ignored inquires into how many units shadows or outlaws sold with the only explanation regarding outlaws poor performance basically being Yves trying to blame Disney for driving the IP into the dirt before they released their game that people had been saying looked like uninteresting shit for years prior to its release
so as a shareholder who meaningfully invests into a company what information are you actually entitled? how is it that Ubisoft can be from all appearances a rapidly sinking company and yet nobody can get a single piece of information that details exactly how badly the company is bleeding or by how much they are missing projections.

>>716183039
Anon, entertainment media is doing poorly because they are making shit that people don't want. It's not any more complicated than that.

>>716185779
Don't forget that recession only ended because we printed money to stabilize all the corporations that threw themselves off a cliff chasing profits...
Only for them to continue the very same practices that sent them off a cliff. We all are ruled by idiots and suffer the consequences for their failures.

>>716182891 (OP)
Ubisoft reputation is permanently stained. Even if they release a genuinely good or experimental game, even the dumbest normie now associates Ubisoft with extremely repetitive mediocre goyslop. I don't know how they can recover really. If I were the CEO I would force a rebranding of the company and make them become a studio that works very long to make each game and promises quality and uniqueness with each of them, instead of just rapidly firing a bunch of slop everyone forgets immedaitely.

>>716186764
Yep, I for one can't wait for the AI bubble to pop, because that shit is going to be catastrophic.
It's genuinely going to make the dot com bubble look like a blip.

>>716185779
i think if people truly understood how the 2008 recession was "solved" then the guillotine would come out once again. all this shit is always solved by printing money which is essentially paid for by people whose labour becomes devalued and who have to pay in order to offset the inflation

>Ubisoft's Yves Guillemot is hopeful that upcoming switch 2 port can revive Star Wars Outlaws

Aww fuck, listen tendies I know you cum and shit yourselves every time you see an ugly game with an open field with nothing to do in it but please for once just don't buy this specific open world slop.

>>716186691
This.

>>716186774
this, assassins creed was the ultimate wagie game, very easy to just come home after a day of work and just slop through it over two to three weeks. But they got so greedy, so complacent in churning that shit out year after year with ezios games onward, rebooting farcy into the same thing as well. Then sprinkling just the most dogshit microtransactions at the time on top. And it's funny because while I never messed with it their multiplayer in AC seemed to have a good amount of buzz and they just went and fucked it up lol.

>>716187068
doesn't matter. People don't care, and when the country collapses and the military fractures, the bankers will simply take the gold and paper they have and run.

Anybody here got the recording from Ubisoft's shareholders meeting. I need a good laugh.

>>716185875
He doesn't give a fuck anymore since spinning off the most profitable Ubi IPs into that private company where Tencent is the majority owner.

>>716187535
I suppose you could make content while living in Australia you couldn't actually sell in Australia. Although that place is such a dystopian shithole I'd expect the cops to be able to arrest you for making 'objectionable' content.

>>716185779
Were more in a depression than a recession at this point. Just between 2001 to now money is almost worth half as much, and governments are still mass importing foreigners to keep wages low, and every time to save the economy they mass print cash, which just devalues cash and makes everyones wages worth less. Its gotten to a point where I feel like everyones trying to pretend to not see the elephant in the room because if they do they need to come to terms with how fucked we really are.

>>716188540
Also I *like* the Ubislop open world climb a tower model. But even for someone like me, it has gotten stale. I want a Far Cry 3 like revamp. Not a whole new model of doing things or some free2play always online shit. Just introduce say, 5, big new good things into the system.

>>716182891 (OP)
I'm just surprised these games keep selling.

>>716188851
They don't, which is the key reason Ubi is in the shitter. The 5 million figure is just the ambiguous 'players,' which could mean anything from 'autist played the game for 100 hours' to 'autist's baby brother accidentally opened the game and sat at the menu for 5 minutes before quitting to play Roblox.'

>>716187559
Epstein was just 1 of many. Let that sink in.

>>716188540
Anon, that's not 5m SOLD, that's 5m PLAYERS, this includes Xbox gamepass which is significantly cheaper than paying for a full priced copy.
Remember this little poem;
>When Game Companies Collapse by Anon Ymous
If they don't say sold, then reception's cold.
If they say revenue then the game fell through
If they say players, then their game's a failure
If they say gamers suck, then their company is fucked

>>716188464
Lower spending on one specific thing: Entertainment media. People are still traveling, people are still eating out, buying clothes... etc. The media companies just ran everyone into their ground with bullshit that they couldn't stomach anymore.

>>716183039
Well gee maybe if they made games people would like instead of games that a bunch of retarded stockholders think get the most money out of people. They would be making a profit. But nooo libe must go up
stockholders > customers

>>716187686
This describes me. Very casual. The problem is the games are getting very barebones. Valhalla was one that really tested me in terms of interest.

>>716186472
Christ, investors money would be better off in funding an actual assassin to off Yves at this point

>>716189112
the game isnt on gamepass, ubisoft has thier own subscription service, but it sucks and is overpriced.

>>716188596
Valhalla is the best selling AC right? I never understood why

>>716189203
even owning the subscription service, getting $20 for one month's worth of service vs $45ish+ for the actual game is just mitigation at best

>>716189285
Normies have no taste, and they probably thought it would be like God of War.

>>716183039
Who is we?

>>716186774
They need to revive their franchises with a Far Cry 2 to Far Cry 3 like jump. Or even what they did with Origins/Odyssey.

The problem is that at the time Far Cry 3 happened, they were borrowing concepts from other popular games. Which they are still doing now...but it doesn't seem like the current hot trends really suit their properties.

>>716189285
I bought it because I figured it would be origins/odyssey but with snow and vikings. Ironically it was so boring that I haven't bought a Creed game since.

>>716189285

>5million players
>players

Someone needs to go a shareholders meeting at ubisoft and start screaming these so called sales aka players are indians they paid to download the game on gamepass and the game sold less than 50k copies
They are trying to trick you retards they sold no games and wasted hundreds of millions on garbage for politics and woke points

Try and rile people up violently shareholder meetings can get pretty spicy if someone is able to pour gas on the crowd. I mean it is after all people losing money because a company is being retarded.

wages have stagnated and costs have gone up, classic recession signs.

its honestly impressive how bad wages have stagnated, like compared to profits brought in, companies are now paying fucking nothing to their employee's compared to 20 to 30 years ago.

and every do they want just that percentage more, something eventually has to give.

I didn't even notice it said players instead of sales, that makes sense.

>>716190523
Well blackrock and their shell corporations own stock in ubisoft and tencent who has a lot of stock. Larry said he punishes individual employees of companies for not meeting esg goals which explains why these companies keep pushing divisive propaganda no matter what happens with the sales. You personally can get voted out of your job if the shareholders demand it so of course you're gonna do whatever keeps your job even if the company as a whole tanks.
Odd thing about ubisoft is that guys family owns a shit of the company so I assume he's way more resistant to esg pressure, maybe he really is just committed to the propaganda.

I don't have to do anything "about it".

if eventually 60% of people in American can't afford houses and kids, it all collapses, you can bring Pajeets or w/e over all you want, they'll just be in a worse position, they are building shithole houses like you wouldn't believe, and none of them are in anyone but the top 35% price range.
65% of people now are just doggy paddling through life, some might be on the "high end" of renters in terms of income, but still, its a joke.
eventually so few people can buy anything that they are churning out, and so few people can afford to have kids, it collapses, simple as, no one needs to "do" anything violent about any of it.

yea that doesn't fix any of the problems, dumbass.

All America is now is a service economy, soon there won't be anyone to service, no one will be able to afford shit, bringing in 100 million destitute dumbass jeets just brings in more people who can't afford all the shit we do, and all the shit we make in China, and all the Houses, and Cars.

honestly, fucking balls on the guy.

he knows its over, he knows China will own his whole fucking world soon, he doesn't care.

he shouldn't have fucked around, but hey, he's rich as fuck, he can dust his hands off and just waltz off, still being rich.

its honestly hard for me, a working poor guy to grasp how utterly freeing that must be, all ventures, all failures, mean nothing, because your still rich as fuck.

Good. Ubisoft is a shit company.

>>716194420
they'd be right, we are in the "print exponentially more money" hyper inflation era.

the only difference between ours, and all of history of printing money like we do, is the Petro-Dollar, and our Nukes, artifically enforcing the dollar to be worth more than it is.

because it isn't, in actually worth shit, we've printed 80% of all USD in the last 5 years.

>shoehorned-in gay brownie
That has been the generic MC in westen slop for 10 years, was your cryo-tube comfy?

Reminder: their total completed projects account for the year was over ONE BILLION EUROS and the only real games they completed were Outlaws and Shadows

>companies keep increasing budgets and spending billions in woke shit
>they lose money
wow who could've seen that coming

>>716186309
The approach was complete ass though. Showing a complete nobody who looked like killmonger, with a rap soundtrack was really not the way to go. I had no clue it was a metroidvania. They released a second POP game that was apparently unrleated which made it even more confusing.

>>716191839
No. XDefiant fucking CRATERED, and they tried to reuse assets by putting them in rainbow 6 siege, and then claim that it would magically increase rev, which was a complete sack of shit.

Shadows did so badly that they had no monetary figures to crow about at fucking all.

>>716199276
>Top headline omits both the name and the (2025) from "Perfect Dark" in an attempt to trick people into thinking it might actually be someone respectable.

He can. He just needs to report accurate aggregate figures, which if you examine, say that AC shadows is a smoking hole in the ground that did worse than Veilguard.

Only so much you can control, ya know?

Sort of. He's splitting the company, moving all the assets to his new company, backed by tencent, and leaving all the debt in the old one.

>>716194196
Tencent is an investor.

>>716194387
No. In fact, he just gave away a big percentage of ALL revenue, including that for old games to Tencent to make this deal happen. Shareholders got NONE of it.

>>716194420
That's fair. I don't think there have been real economists since 2004.

Reminds me of Hollywood derailing in the 90s and never getting back on track. They just figured they could spend their way out of disasters, until finally the investment banks cut them off and a fucking delivery company bought up all their assets to give away as free trinkets for ordering groceries or toasters through them.

It's only illegal if you sue and win. And they get to use all your money in the company to defend. But in fact some angry investors DID threaten to sue. The thing is, without the cash infusion with this deal money, Ubi doesn't have enough for AAA development.

funny thing is videogame software where one of the few things not effected by the 2008 recession (the other thing was DVD sales), that year still saw record profits in the industry.
You know why, because in a time of recession the one industry that suffers most is the service industry, people visit less museums or movie theathers, go out to restaurants or a theme park. but vidya was till very much product driven in 2008, you bought a game and thats it, you had dozens of them in discount
now fast forward to today, and guess how turning from a goods based industry to service based has impacted videogames in this new recession

Sometimes you have to take responsibility for yourself or else you're no better than christian feminist telling you what you can and can't consoom.

Yes, and with the tariffs being kicked down the road until Trump finally shits on the pot for America, it's over.

Japan is the dam breaking, see: Crisis, Rice. To where the Prime Minister and his party has taken a beating and the PM is being forced out because he didn't fix the rice prices being inflated.

Everyone can't afford shit all around the world, essentially and as soon as Japan finally admits it, it's going to get REAL bad for the rest of the world because they're in a similar-ish situation of trying to hide it.

Now that's what I call mixed

The only true post in this thread. Anyone not Gen-X is FUCKED, no matter how much they want to preen on here saying they made it with a house.

Globo Homo wants folks to live in a box on their property and work until they die.

>Some might call it a mixed bag. But let me tell you what kind of mixed bag: it's a trash bag that's had a bad day. Let's say, your mom cleans out the cat litter, fresh and stale doody pebbles go right in the bottom of the bag. Then your sister throws out her used tampons, and where do they go? In the same bag. Then your brother comes home piss-ass drunk, just upchucks, pukes right in the bag. Now, I'm not trying to be disgusting, but that is a realistic situation and what it all comes down to is that is a NASTY bag.

>>716205282
stupid people enable other stupid people. yes it's predatory but people need to stop enabling these assholes.

Podunk feminist pressure groups aren't the ones who wield absolute power over what games can and can't be sold.

Sometimes I wonder if it's malice or just that degree of echochamber ignorance.

>>716206694
Personally, I think it's hubris, and condemnation. They thought we were such cattle and they themselves so infallible that we'd obviously just go along with the shittier games lockstep even if they were aggressively unappealing to us. Because propaganda outlets and influencers told us so, and there were no other triple A options.

Be frank. Who here acfually invested in Ubisoft thinking they'd get an easy pump with Shadows?

dude what? they have FIVE MILLION PLAYERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>716185779
YEah that all god CHUD but how about diversity huh? How good are we doing in that department, HUH?

>>716187535
Steam does not mandate getting official age ratings for games sold there.

>>716183039
Weird, we're told that prices are up yet earnings are down.
Stelantis and GM claim they lost $1 to $3 billion.

>>716185779
Sweaty, the definition of a recession has changed, it's whatever the market feels is a recession.

Exactly how they like it.

>>716188540
5 million should be great for a video game but these idiots have the idea that they should be selling 20 million every release because shareholders expect it.

It'll eventually be the death of that company

>>716191168
as a kid a group of six or so of us would take our consoles over to a neighbors house who had a big TV so we could split screen and play together.

>>716183039

No lmao gamers will feast on indie games. Gg no re for you stupid niggers though.

>>716210057
Except a brainless yuro petition is about to destroy the indie market.

>>716186472
Its ALL inherited money.
Shareholders are the modern meme inbred Hapsburgs

>>716210198
yeah man all those online indie games

>players, not shipped
Ubisoft shareholders are so retarded they let them get away with this lmao

>>716189140
Nta but if you run the figures not one of those have yet recovered to pre-covid levels, while the economy is being run like in the early 2000s

>>716191839
>Rainbow 6 Siege X underperformed
Because they banned a third of the userbase last year

>>716210198
what always online indie games are there that don't let you run your own servers?

>>716210198
No its not you nigger. 99% of indie games are already all offline, actually play some, perhaps try a few on itch.io? I would suggest soulash or mindustry

>>716210198
>M-muh gamedev in euorpe is kill!!!
And? Weeb site, play japanese games. Even Ubisoft could just scuttle off to Quebec, it worked great for Sony moving to California.

>>no, companies just suddenly forgot how to make things people want
Unironically, yes.
The people who work at X company aren’t the same people who worked there 10 years ago. It’s all new people who have 0 clue what they are doing.

>>716194420
There has been no "real economy" since Bretton Woods.

>>716202452
Nintendo wouldn't want it
They didn't even make those games so unless they also sell the studio Nintendo wouldn't have a team to make more

>>716183039

You cannot convince me that these people aren't schizophrenic

Iconic line, I was this tattooed so when roasties ask why I don't want kids I can show them this

ubishit let the 30 devs who made E33 (goty so far) go btw.

they are complete fucking retards.

here is a dev who left Ubishit off the record:

>>716188954
I can't help by wonder if they consider "same use connected into the game via different device/IP" as "new player"? Part of me feels they do

>>716182891 (OP)
AC is the hit while RS is the flop, and given they cancelled every other game, not sure what seems to be the problem here.

>>716188464
>>no, companies just suddenly forgot how to make things people want
They didn't forget, they're actively trying to make things people will hate

>hmmm audience loves these things, do we make them?
>no, fuck the audience, we hate them, don't appeal to them

ubisoft shutdown by next year, bungie right after

>be /v/
>laugh at ubisoft
>post monk chud wojak

HOW is this allowed? Why hasn't the government done anything yet to stop chud from doing nothing?

>>716191817
It's like the average NEET gamer who lives in his parents' basement

Ubisoft is capable of making good games but they're held back by their nigger CEO and their all women writing and art teams who make every game ugly and cringe.

>>716212020
>ubishit let the 30 devs who made E33 (goty so far) go btw.

Yeah they let the "creative director" (idea guy) and a bunch of frauds go.

>>716183039
>Are we actually fucked?
Who the fuck is we? Bitch

>>716185779
I haven't seen anybody here call it a recession and /biz/ is dead and stuck in the depths of hell so I certainly don't expect good input over in that board either
