He’s so old. No wonder Ubisoft is so close to bankrupcy.

You’re right, they aren’t doing so well looking at this 5 year window.

Goat fights back against banning-goats-from-gardener-jobs.

That’s about stock market tho, a entirely different kind of game.

I don’t care what this guy has to say. I’m not even going to click on that link because it’ll just make me angry. Fuck off, Yves. Get your own house in order.

You call that complaining? It was a bunch of vague non-answers meant to not really directly answer any of the shareholder questions

Wait what? Ubisoft “customers should get used to not owning games” ubisoft? That ubisoft? Color me shocked.

Guillemot told shareholders that Ubisoft works hard to ensure games stay playable, saying the company offers “a lot of support” and services to keep games accessible “24/7.” However, he stated that “support can’t last forever.”

Ah, the same BS again and again.

Little real life hack:

• Someone says that.

• Say: That’s not what it’s about.

• Leave them standing and refuse to talk to them like they refuse to understand or act like they don’t understand what SKG is about.

Think about it. They either don’t understand it but still expect to be taken seriously or they actively try to hurt the movement and don’t argue in good faith. So why bother?

What kind of aggressive DRM? Wouldn’t the same kind of hack as usual work? As in, hack the hardware, every game becomes playable?

And then we kill Ubisoft. Murder by no purchases.

We wish but they’ll never go away. Die hard fans and whales are going to buy the games no matter what plus all the microtransactions included.

Greedy old man attempting to persuade other ignorant old men in whatever body of government that somehow videos games are finite and expire when we clearly have original Pacman and Pong arcade cabinets still in existence and completely functional. That whole “we can only provide service for so long” is a bullshit argument. I hope the EU puts him and other assholes like him in their place. “Woe is me” dev excuses are getting really old.

Just make a trend of making fun of losers that play Ubisoft games.

Why tf should anyone play the games if the CEO looks like some old rich white greedy parasite? Fuck him and Ubisoft. I was already boycotting their cookie cutter, external launcher, account needed, crashing, microtransaction bullshit enshitification anyways.

It’s fair to say they can’t support games forever. But in that case make games that don’t need support forever or provide the software to run the games for free after some time.

Ironically, I think Ubisoft has a good example of a multiplayer game with a good end-of-life despite not reaching its sales expectations with BattleCore Arena, where the last update allowed P2P play after the servers went down. Meaning that the game wasn’t totally killed off, even if it was thought as yet another service game, which is always appreciated.

That said, given the lack of marketing that was done around the game, it was perhaps a “not too expensive game that could maybe work on a fluke”, where Ubisoft’s lack of attention potentially left the devs quite free with their game. Devs who thankfully respected their players and made good end-of-life decisions.

Yea but if people aren’t buying your games because they’re shit, shareholders aren’t gonna be happy about it. And Ubisoft hasn’t made a breakout hit in a while. Their normal is „tolerable if you get it on sale, if you don’t care about the franchise“, and even shareholders notice that.

I agree. I don’t expect companies to perpetually support these games. When they feel like no more money is to be made, then they should release it from lock down or release the server software and let someone else host it. Used to be a time where mod tools and dedicated servers were released with the game and whole new games were made. Counter Strike and Team Fortress are examples of this.
