It must be so gleeful to be a leftist. Every big lefty game and movie is paraded to be the biggest success in human history, and then a few months later when the real stats come out, the news doesnt touch it, and they continue to live in ignorant bliss. We were right, but theyll never know, reminds me of Stringer in the Wire
AC Shadows sales are abysmal
AC Shadows was a chud game, stop trying to rewrite history.
truth, all my white supremacist friends loved playing it
This is what happen when there is no USAID. They can't prop up their pet projects anymore.
Usaid money wasn't funding ubisoft though
this thread already exists, with the same fucking picture. Identical crop
Talk is free, all caps threads are taxing.
WELCOME TO JAPAN... WHERE YOU WILL PLAY AS AN EPIC NINJA OR SUPER EPIC SAMURAI!
Choose between Nigger or bitch
dumb fuckin lefty shit
2.4 million copies sold
this is a flop, actually
Yes, won't even cover development costs.
You're posting a screencap of reddit on Anon Babble instead of going to reddit where you clearly belong. Why?
Why can't you just enjoy games?
Because they put niggers in them.
got it from twitter actually
watching AAA slop games fails is the best enjoyment you can get out of a game
right? it's ok to not like the game but 2.4 mil sales isn't flop territory.
maybe it's not making giga bucks like they wanted but still
For an AAAAAAAAAAA game? Yes.
headcount over 3000 people
6 years in development
It's not even going to hit half of cost.
YOU GOT A SOURCE ON THAT?
How hard is that to believe though? Yeah 2.4 mil is a lot of copies sold (whether physical or digital or anything else) but it's the operating cost that matters. If the game cost 100000000000 billion dollars to make and they don't make that back or make a profit it doesn't really matter how many copies it sold. If you make something for 10 dollars but generate 1000 dollars in profit you are successful.
It's a flop because it's not generating money; and I'm not saying that money is everything or whatever but to business it is. The game also has no lasting impact of any kind, no one gives a fuck it came out and no know talks about it in any sense besides to shit on it, talk about its controversies, etc.
but journalists told me the game was a huge success because the jump button was pressed like 100 gorillion times or something like that?
Expedition 33 selling 2 million copies is... LE SUCCESS
AC Shadows selling 2 million copies is... LE FLOP
which is it, reddit. You can't have it both ways
it is if you’re a bloated company
Now compare the production costs, troon
anon learns about dev costs for the first time
Assassin's Creed 1 is the only one I've played, I bought it on CD off Amazon
The ending sucked but it was mostly good
I don't want to play any of the newer ones even AC2 because the fans of the series seem to all have started with 2 and all seem like big fags
Also the "muh crusaders bad jihadis good" narrative was already gay as fuck, and them being a French studio I knew it would get worse and worse as time went on.
I feel I enjoyed myself and got out of the series at the right time.
Don't AC games sell like atleast 10M copies usually? It's a flop
Snoys are responsible for 70% of all sales
Sasuga.
yes, it is
you have no grasp of the scale or monetary sums involved becuase most people simply can't grasp large numbers, they're not real
2.4 million sales is great if it cost you nothing to make and market
2.4 million sales is a catastrophic flop if it cost you 300 million to make, you've not even made back half of that even if you pretend those are all full price sales
You wanted Assassin's Creed: Black Flag?
Sorry, best I can do is Assassin's Creed: Black Fag
Want to, but gamers are no longer their targeted audience any more. They want to tap into that potential non-gamer audience for increased porfits, leaving me feeling increasingly alienated from my own pastime.
I spend $50 and get back $1000
I spend $50000 and get back $1000
These are the same
Why can't they make game that would appeal to me? Which for example in an Japanese setting would involve playing as a Japanese male ninja who sneaks in, kills everyone and fucks all the girls
Sony is the official nigger-worship platform, it checks out
>Snoys are responsible for 70% of all sales
I wonder why
I'll explain this to you as a burger analogy so you can understand.
Open up a burger stand for thousand bucks and sell 10k worth of burgers
I'm left with 9000 dollars in profits and it was a critical success
Open up a fancy burger restaurant for a million dollars and manage to sell 100k worth of burgers
Despite selling 10 times as much as the simple burger stand, I'm still 900k in the red
If you aren't trolling and genuinely can't understand how sales number isn't the sole measure of success then you're NGMI.
And in that case, would you like to buy my homemade burger for 1000 dollars and I'll buy it back from you for 10? You'll make 10 dollars!
No it's not. The day one sales were good and it shipped and sold HUGE
aren't all the ac games asset flips? i played 1 and 2 and they were the same. i doubt it cost that much to make
snoycucks? mind explaining this?
You played the only real asscreed game, the series turned into an uninspired GTA imitation right after. It's like you said:
I feel I enjoyed myself and got out of the series at the right time.
Why is leftism dying?
You weren't right though. You aren't right now. Here are the honest actual facts:
No-one wanted this game.
No-one bought this game.
No-one cares.
"Leftists" aren't real. This game was never going to do numbers because these people you believe it was for don't exist. There's no traction in the news afterwards because no-one cares about the game. The "news" about this game before hand was all rage bait and "news" about rage bait.
Yeah it seemed kind of dumb to me that they got "real combat" and I never even hear about the assassinations themselves it's just all now you're a viking or pirate or nigga samurai
Maybe I should replay the original
It will never look as beautiful now that graphics have improved so much but it's still nice other than that one glitched vantage point in that one city
because it was only propped up by fake interest and money for all these years and now the veil is collapsing
You made the right choice and they don't get better. In 2 you literally have to beat up the pope.
Moving the goalposts?
It needed 5.1 million sales to break even.
What goal posts?
i strongly dislike catholics and am not religious but my god that's so gay retarded and sharkjumpy
Acting like no one cared about the game when it sold 2M. Those goalposts.
Where's the organic enthusiasm for ACS then, wiseguy?
2.4 million copies is a horrible flop.
The game's industry is a fucking joke.
i doubt it cost that much to make
your doubt is irrelevant, you are factually incorrect
and no they're not asset flips, because ubisoft are fucking incompetent
real problem when you try to set your games in 5000 different eras, the assets are not actually very reusable italian architecture does not fit in rural japan very well, arab clay huts do not really fit all that well in the americas
not to mention you are now 2 engines advanced from where they made their first games
all of their assets are completely unusable each time they jump to a new engine
the ac games cost them a fucking giga fortune to make every single time, and that's even before marketing which basically doubles it
Look up the history of that pope
He actually was a mustache twirling villain that got assassinated
On places that aren't here. To be clear, I fucking hate this game but don't act like there's not an audience for it compared to something like Concord or Dustborn considering how big the AC franchise is. No need to be disingenuous.
AAA industry is joke, AA and indie is doing better than ever
I mean, their main platform is the PlayStation so retards then.
how is a game by a giant super corpo, created solely for the investors, a lefty game?
GAMINGCIRCLEJERK SISTERS?!? OUR COPE????
Black gay protagonist
Female lesbian protagonist
Next question
I don't want to play any of the newer ones even AC2 because the fans of the series seem to all have started with 2 and all seem like big fags
This is the dumbest most retarded sense of elitism I ever seen to hate a game
2 is fine and improved the gameplay quite a bit. Don't listen to the contrarians Ezio is a fine protagonist and the ost is superb.
Yasuke was made to emasculate chuds
Yasuke takes tranny dick in the game, which means he won't be emasculating anyone
Of course sonyfags were the ones to cross 1m.
Leftism isn't dying. It's corporate activated leftism that's dying because they're realizing leftists aren't the majority of their moneymaking audience like they thought it was, and that pandering too hard to one side is money burning. It's why you're seeing a pendelum shift both on social media and in entertainment.
Literally me. It was a blast on the PS3. I tried to get back into it with Odyssey and was like, wtf is this?
And yet his elitism lead him to the right choice
pendelum shift both on social media and in entertainment
Not happening. They just released two major trailers yesterday, one was black iron girl and the other was Superman being talked down to his gf nothing in that regard has shifted yet.
Yeah, now products actually have to make money and don't get bailouts as easily.
No it didn't because all the AC games are goyslop even the first one
Aren't superhero movies all losing money these days?
he didn't play the Ezio trilogy
he thinks he got out at the right time
Boy are you the mining but not hitting diamonds meme. Ezio is the best protagonist in the series. Plus you kill the pope. #iconic
They are but they don't care the keep pushing them. The message is more important then the money. Feige and Gunn are massive leftists. You want to tell me the pendulum is shifting put someone like Mel Gibson in charge of the MCU then I will believe that
One took 2 years to make
the other half a decade (5)
It's both.
Expedition 33 is practically an Indie title, AC Shadows had a massive budget, and a staff so big that the credits were over two hours long.
Learn about budgets.
Ubi is CANADIAN, for starters, so write that down...
Both are true simultaneously. How can you not understand? You have to be trolling, i refuse to believe you seriously believe this
Yes.
Clair Obscur bros, we won
own chuds
sales stolen
b-but we had 35 billion players??? how could that be???
Plebbit
Smells like gay tendie, why are pedos so obsessed with games that have no little boys?
How come when Clare Obscure sells the same that sold good?
E33 is a AAA game, AC is a AAAA game
Stop listening to milquetoast mainstream conservatives.
When leftists take over an institution they purge it from dissenters and establish policies to make sure they never hire people like that again. DEI is a good example.
One marginally less woke game is not a win, but a trap. Anyone who is singing victory at this point is a retard.
The current situation is that we are waging a war of attrition against billionaires and they are losing $1 million per day but it doesn't matter because they can keep going for another decade until they actually need to worry.
Does anyone at Ubisoft know the difference between between a good and bad game, or a nigger and a Jew?
This same poster is in Expedition 33 threads asking how 2 million isn't a flop btw.
The biggest thing for me is that post-AC1 the gameplay becomes ANNOYING. Imagine playing AC1, but the game's constantly stopping you from playing how you want, throwing in mandatory combat against groups of soldiers, or making you fly a fucking bomber made out of string and rice paper that controls like shit.
There was a moment in AC:Brotherhood where the deterioration of the game design really hit me, when a mission that required me to quickly get through a part of Rome and then back with a strict time limit was easier to complete by grabbing a horse and just riding through the crowd on the narrow streets. The parkour system was actually holding me back, in the one environment it was designed for. I think it was one of the optional missions, but still the fact that the devs missed the point of their own game so hard is kinda grim.
You are almost right. These people do exist, but the entertainment they consume isn't the game, instead it is the conversation around the game.
These people certainly exist, but what companies are finding out the hard way is that they aren't going to buy the product regardless.
Really, it's a bunch of broke people making dumb decisions that make them broke. They live with several people or their parents because they aren't successful. This leads to their weird socialism beliefs. Part of the new age socialism is the mixed race utopia where White men are the scapegoat. Each dictatorship establish this scapegoat to gain power by telling their followers that the reason they are broke losers is because of this group.
Right now they think they are broke lovers because of: the patriarchy, some sort of privilege system that only benefits White men, colonialism, and so forth.
These people absolutely do exist, but they don't exist as an actual costumer. They only exist in places that are free to hang out because they cant afford to do anything else.
These are jealous hateful people that lash out at the "power group" because they cant self reflect and understand they are the cause of their own situation.
Tldr, they exist, but they ain't buying
you could have it both ways if they’re unequivocal
I choose to believe that this is NOT bait and that you actually are that retarded.
I have to be "elite" to not like fag behavior and deduce that things fags like are generally shit?
I'll take your word for it
I know because it's Anon Babble you guys will say I'm just bitching and don't play games, but:
god, what a grim fucking lineup
DUDE WEEEEEEED DUDE STREAMER HYPE WEEEEEEED shovelware might genuinely be the best original release game listed there
anon kun.... the costs for both of these games are not even close to each other.
As expected, no one gave a shit about this game outside of the controversy.
AC 1 is not that different than the others retard
I know culture has stagnated since 2011, but those are pathetic numbers. 2mil is a modest success for indie games, but this is a AAAAA title that took more labor than the pyramids.
The fuck does that have to do with leftism?
I’m enjoying Oblivion Remaster, Dwarf Fortress, HD2 and TTRPGs with my friends online. I’ve also got a garden. I’m enjoying plenty of things, but I’m also enjoying this.
no updates 2 months after saying the game reached 3m players
no mention in financial report either
kek, im starting to think the game slowed down after passing 3m, also they made no profit
france24.com
The company had won through to profitability in 2023-24 after a near half-billion-euro loss in the previous period.
But a string of disappointing releases undermined this year's performance, with a net loss of 159 million euros ($178 million) on revenues of 1.9 billion -- down 17.5 percent year-on-year.
also
ubisoft only got 3k employees working on ac,far cry and rainbow six
company size is 17k
what the fuck are the other 14k doing??
Most expensive game Ubisoft has ever made
2.4 million copies sold is fine, actually
Claire broke even on day 1 and is making profits. According to Ubisoft's investor meeting, they lost $108,000,000 and expected player numbers dropped 20%.
The worst part of AC1 was running in circles in the weird battlefield scene to catch up to and backstab each of the 20 templars gradually
Then the boss fight with the clones just being a repeat of that with obstacles/room to move around
The second worst part was probably how the double blades handled against multiple enemies, but that wasn't the main gameplay so it was fine
It's like the turret section of Dead Space
Oh yeah that's another series that was just a single original game for me
KOTOR too
You know I might just be enlightened or something now that I think about it
Yumia won
reddit.com
Game was shit but OP is using a biased source so I dunno of it can be trusted
It's worth remembering a huge chunk of those "3 million players" are Ubisoft+ subscribers.
Anon is learning that Profit = Earnings - Costs after middle school
Good job, Anon!
Glad to see Sultan's game doing well, it's a neat game.
2 million sold
2 mil by 70$ is a net profit for any game or movie ever made in history
sounds like it was a success to me, chud cope is chud cope, people love yasuke and you won't and can't do shit about it
look forward to yasuke railing the living shit out of your favorite video game girl in sfm antimations, chudlodites o/
r/fuckubisoft is biased
retard
? it clearly is biased based purely on the name as it has a vendetta against Ubisoft so its not a neutral source.
American leftism and American RINOs can only exist in a bubble. To deny reality and data is the only way American leftist exists
I enjoy games.
I enjoy watching western developers crash and burn too :)
Assassin's Creed Shadows cost around $250 million to develop
they'd need to sell 7 million copies to make a profit lmao
Entire family of hombres works all day as farm handymen
Earns $300
Pseudoscience doctor listens to retard ramble for 30 minutes
Earns $300
Wow, they both earned the same about!
source: my crusty literal shit worm infested asshole
adds Memesuke as main character
game flops
as it should be
retard
they know this and don't need it explained to them, they are just leftoids who know nothing other than being disingenuous
again, source is your ass
2.4 million sales is a catastrophic flop if it cost you 300 million to make
what is brand enrichment
what is a loss leader
This is why you don't make games and live in a basement, you have business sense of a 3 year old
again, cope troon
gay faggot accuses others of having a worm infested asshole
lmao you can't make this shit up
Uhh... bros? why is Ubisoft delaying their games?
a singe player game where you're selling map unlocks and weapon skins on release is not "brand enrichment"
