Thread 725796779

You know what's the funy part of all of this? all they needed to do was an assassins creed game set in japan, with an asian protagonist (male or female doesn't matter), call him satsujiro kurasaki, and drop him into a big map and let players do ninja shit. That's it. Easiest ac game ever.
But here we are.

Two more weeks

leave the million dollar corporation alone, chud

>>725796779 (OP)
They had run out of game's ideas anyway didn't they

>>725796779 (OP)
That doesnt sound very woke anon, it's not all about gamers you know

Chuds dont know nothing about stocks saying every stock news is collapse

>>725796779 (OP)
Ubisoft was falling for other reason fuckface 3 million players is good but not enough to save the whole fucking company holyshit you are so stupid

>>725797950
i dont know much about stocks, but that has to be really bad
like really really really bad

>>725796779 (OP)
Chuds hoping a progressive anti-fascist anti-homophobic trans-ally studio flops

I am still assured that Assassins Creed Shadows was a resounding success.

All the gaming media PR articles told me so. How can I be wrong?

>>725798505
You know what's also bad? CEO delaying the earnings and requesting the French Trading Commission to halt their stock for an entire day after earnings so it doesn't crash on a Friday. LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO

>>725796779 (OP)
WILL YOU RETARDS LEARN WHAT BANKRUPTCY IS.

>>725799506
You can do that? And the FTC will happily oblige?

All these slimy jew tactics they use.

>>725799756
Seems like in France you can.

And just like that I'm never buying an ubisoft game again.

>>725797164
Its not normal for a company to not only miss their date for reporting their financials, but then also halt trading on their stock and bonds. There is no way this is going to be good news. Most likely Tencent backed out of the deal and they are running low on cash.

Lmao Ubisoft is such a whore for these corporate governance initiative shit. They'll do anything for millions of dollars of grants from governments. From Canada to Singapore, they'll say anything in public just to get these handouts.

>>725800458
when I see a game on steam that requires 3rd party account or login it immediately goes to my ignore list

>ubisoft begging for chinese money
>ea begging for saudi money
It's a good time to be a Chud. Worshipping criminals and mutilating children has put you retards on the wrong side of history.

>>725800776
this. public company usually halt trading when they found a buyer, the buyer they found backed out, wants to do a merger, wants to back out of a merger, or have to announce exposure to significant legal and financial risk, usually related to audit or compliance. this is more than "we lost a bit more money than we expected."

>>725800851
Truly, I've been too hard on Yasuke. He was the hero we needed

>>725799504
i've heard that one before...

>>725800851

Yasuke is a CCP agent.

>>725797950
buy the dip

>>725796779 (OP)
they're either gonna pump it or dump it.
given the fact the share price has been so beaten down in recent months, whales have most likely been accumulating cheap shares in preperation for a bullish buyout/restructuring announcement, and they don't want retail to get any piece of it. the news will drop after market hours on friday, 4-5ish eastern time, leading into a massive gap up up in the low liquidity afterhours trading session

Net income €157.9 million (2024) (increasing)
Total assets €5.121 billion (2024) (increasing)

a company that was on the verge of bankruptcy, to be sure

>>725802845
>3/31/2025 financials
>Net loss of 158 million Euros
>Long Term borrowings of 1.8 billion and another short term borrowings of 330 million
>Cash was only 990 million and net cash outflow was 180 million
>Unamortized cost of development of 2.2 billion

There was no saving Ubisoft without the Tencent deal which likely fell through (why they halted trading on the bonds).

>>725797950
why did they chose to go woke?

>>725802824
>catching falling knives
The CEO refuses to leave, which makes acquisitions difficult. They also said 2026 will be another shit year because they don't have any big titles getting released until 2027. From leaks, their next Assassin's Creed will continue the woke trend with a witch protagonist in medieval Christian Germany. That being said...
>almost zero debt
>positive cash flows
>2021 and 2024 had record breaking revenues
If you're an optimist, maybe they're stupid restructuring will work. I think you're going to see another crash during their next earnings call, more crashing after they announce more woke games in 2026, and then 2027 will be abysmal because no one wants remakes or propaganda.

>>725799504
I kinda like those statements beause afterwards when we know how bad a of a flop something was it puts into perspective how fucked up whole the western AAA game market is, sure Shadows was #2 on a race full of losers.

They could literally just bring back Desmond and their franchise would be saved
>NOOOOOOOO HE'S NOT NIGGERWOMAN ENOUGH NOOOOOOOOOOO
Just bring him back you fucking retards. Your agenda or your company

>>725805240
>Desmond
Fuck off. Worst part of the older games.

>>725805792
He'd save the franchise because the game was originally played by people who actually like games instead of retards whose single personality trait is contrarianism

>>725804171
They were always woke, just didn't activate order 66 until it was time.

Staff from Ubisoft went to make Sweet Baby Inc. years ago. Kim Belair pictured.

>>725799504
It was such an amazing success that I think, even to this day, Ubisoft has not revealed actual sales numbers when asked by their stockholders on financial calls.

want a redpill? with hexe coming up the majority of AC canon MC will be females

>>725804652
>almost zero debt
Thats only if the Tencent deal goes through and I doubt they would delay their financials and halt bond trading if that was totally fine
>positive cash flows
They had a net cash outflow last year of 180 million Euros

3 MILLION PLAYERS
fellow blast havers
fellow returners to form
they gonna unveil assassins creed BLACKED and everything will be fine again

>>725804652
>no debt
u wot

The most entertaining theory I've heard on /v/ is that Tencent pulled a fast one on Ubi and is pulling out of the earlier deal they've been going for (with Ubi spinning off their good IPs into a separate company that Tencent is investing in), in a bid to send Ubi under because Ubi physically can't survive without Tencent's lifeline. Tencent would then buy the Ips from the wreckage at a fire sale.

>>725796779 (OP)
>with an asian protagonist (male or female
But they did

>>725806290
Total cashflows remained positive with zero debt. That's a fact and the Tencent deal already happened in March. They made 2 billion last year.

>>725805864
Nigger I just wanted to play a character in a historical setting without constantly being taken out of the story every time it got interesting.

>>725801532
That's a nice webm, take that Nips and your shitty houses and fish. FUK Ya'll.

>>725796779 (OP)
yes, fellow employees, we will all be rewarded for what we do here, this is our moment to shine

>>725806579
Okay that was one (1) game. Afterwards he was the only thing linking the franchise together. If what you're bitching about is that it's virtual and you can get taken out at all, that's something far beyond just being mad at Desmond

>>725801532
>that webm
i understand they're showing destrucable content but lmao it does seem like they just want you to just utterly destroy all of Japan

>>725806497
>net debt: total debt minus cash and equivalents
>+ €885 million
>debts due 2028
So long as they don't take out billions in loans or shut down their company, this isn't really debt. They make 100x more in revenue than the debt they owe.

iirc Ubisoft's deal with Tencent still wanted full creative control (lol).

Meaning the woke will continue unhindered and games will continue to flop. . . so what was the point of the deal if they can't right the ship hhh.

They've fondled the back for years now.

>all they needed to do was an assassins creed game set in japan, with an asian protagonist

and released back in 2012 instead of AC3.

>>725806840
The only sticking point I remember from the Ubisoft buyout talks are the insane Guillemots insisting they stay in charge despite being the reason the company has been so thoroughly mismanaged. Classic French hubris.

>>725806784
I'm not surprised the whole of Japan was pissed including politicians, the messaging was too on-the-nose, especially in the climate of importing immigrants.

The predictive programming wasn't very subtle.

>>725796779 (OP)
Imagine expecting the birthplace of Communism to produce anything good

>>725797023
Pretty much. Everything that wasnt asscreed and star wars sold no copies in 2024 and 2025 and the only thing the tank for 2026 is mobileslop. Even another mario rabbids game would mean another chunk of the profits going to nintendo.

>>725806915
you are almost there retard, now you only need to connect the dots of them going woke and the devs suddenly all becoming shit

>>725807202
is ubisoft scottish?

>>725807202
ngl they would retcon syndicate just to rewrite marx and shed light on the gided age robber barons.

>>725806784
Yeah, it was completely tone deaf. Naoe can do everything Yasuke can do barring break down doors and the concrete pillars so I don't know why they didn't use her to showcase the cutting since the tanto makes it way more apparent and viable than Yasuke doing stuff since he just smashes everything. It's actually super impressive when you see it in action but of course they poisoned their own well with tone deafness by using Yasuke to showcase it. Just show him breaking through a door and leave it at that.

>>725807445
French Revolution was full of what today are regarded as proto-Communists like Francis-Noel Babeuf

>>725796779 (OP)
No OP, they HAD to add a gay black man protagonist. It was necessary for the Assassin's Creed® franchise.
Good fucking riddance.

Are you a tech-illiterate zoomer? Are you so attached to your steam account you needed the achievements? Or are you a moral-fag who feels bad for these million-dollar corps that hate your guts for being a white male?
Bro, what's wrong with you?

>>725808026
F2P shovelware tops the steam charts there's no games it's not a hard feat

>>725796779 (OP)
Have they done anything since Shadows? Do they have anything planned for the next 5 years?

>>725808092
Too many minorities and third-worlders, no wonder F2P games like LoL and Runescape always top charts, yet alone the F2P garbage we always see topping Steam charts.
Grim.

>>725797306
They were failing for a decade of the exact same retardation, and if they had some sense they would have sold an easy 20 million. Perhaps enough to save the company. Get it?

>>725808180
October is over anon, stop posting scary images like that.

>>725808180
Bongo Cat is currently 9th on the steam charts under top games this is on the same level as Ubisoft and BioWare this is their peer an equal in their industry

>>725808171
The plan?
>remake the games that sold well using cheap Indonesian labor (splinter cell, black flag, and sands of time)

Tencent deal hasn't finalized. It was meant to be done by the end of the year

>>725797164
>dont know nothing
ESL retard

>>725800458
This. I bought Silent Hunter, a game over twenty year old at this point, and I've been stuck trying to reverse engineer the executable to remove their DRM.

>>725808171
>Have they done anything since Shadows?
Shadows just got a new patch and a roadmap maybe a week ago.
Mirage is supposed to get a new free expansion DLC next week I believe it is.
Skull & Bones, The Division 2, and Rainbow Six Siege are still getting updates.
>Do they have anything planned for the next 5 years?
Assassin's Creed Jade still hasn't released despite having a public beta test and it was already fairly feature complete when they did that barring some missing cutscenes and developer VAs doing dialogue. They could release that at any point but if it still follows the "Mobile only" mantra it's dead on arrival despite them spending console AC levels of money on it to our knowledge.
Assassin's Creed Hexe is supposed to come out in two years.
Assassin's Creed Black Flag Remake is supposed to come out next year.
The Division 3 is supposedly in production.
They keep talking about potentially remaking AC1 but we have no idea if that's even going to happen.

That's pretty much all we know about Ubisoft at this point. All their other games have failed spectacularly or underperformed like XDefiant, Ghost Recon Wildlands, AC Shadows, Avatar, Skull & Bones, Immortals Fenyx Rising, Rider's Republic, the Prince of Persia sidescroller, Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, that one rollerskating game aping Rocket League, Watch Dogs Legion, all their NFT games and projects, etc.

Outside of AC they basically have nothing in the pipeline. Short of rebooting older brands and remastering stuff they're hedging all their bets on AC as a whole and I bet you they're gonna get into a controversy with this Black Flag remake just because of them removing content in the Modern Day segments (They're all removed) just to add fuel to the fire that people feel like they're getting less content than the original.

Total Ubisoft Death

>ESL allowed to write opinions and get them published
Dead internet

>>725806497
do you even understand corporate debt?

>>725809096
Breakpoint underperformed. I don't think Wildlands underperformed at all. The next Ghost Recon (Project Over) is supposedly in development (at least more so than The Division 3 in progress), but due to the absolute lack of anything resembling marketing from Ubisoft this year, it has just as much chance of being cancelled

>>725796779 (OP)
Rhey could've choose any important samurai figure like Mori Ranmaru yet they decided to go for a nigger slave with a made up story, serves them right

>>725809857
>I don't think Wildlands underperformed at all
As far as I recall wasn't it supposed to be a game with updates for years and they very quickly halted that after it gained a reputation for how buggy it was and just how poorly it was received?
