Ubisoft thinks its new pirate game, yet another open world "live service" - deserves to charge $70 because it's a "Quadruple-A" game. I mean, for crying out loud! Let's absolutely have fun tearing this nonsense down!

Ubisoft priznaje neuspjeh XDefianta
Ubisoft se u zadnje vrijeme suočava s nizom problema, uključujući pad cijena dionica, igre koje ne ispunjavaju očekivanja, značajne odgode i interne istrage. U nizu nevolja, dodali su još jedan problem na popis – neuspjeh XDefianta. Nakon dugog perioda šutnje i poricanja, Ubisoftov CEO Yves Guillemot napokon je priznao da je igra “iza očekivanja” tijekom nedavnog poziva s investitorima. Što je…

Silly Game Time: You know those lucky cat figurines? (maneki neko, I think they're called, also jinmao) I've decided the world needs a bunch of giant ones. I'm talking 300 feet tall (91.5 meters), complete with the waving arm.
And *you* get to decide where one of them goes! No restrictions whatsoever!
The White House. I don't think i need much explanation for this one i just think it'd crush it
Who knows, maybe i'll get him and it would be a pretty funny symbol for his death, crushed by a giant cat figurine

so in the wake of all the people dickriding ubisoft because their PR team is arguing with musk on twitter, i want to remind people they are right now literally being sued for sexual assault, harassment, and workplace injury as we fucking speak and how stupid all of you are for falling for the most obvious marketing stunt and distraction in years
take that brillo pad out of your fucking mouth and stop being rubes. if you're going around saying "um ubisoft is based, we should buy assassin's creed game to own the chuds xD" then you don't actually give a flying fuck about worker's rights or protecting marginalized people and are just riding the same culture war bandwagon shit that right wingers are grifting on. this shit ain't no better than the hogwarts legacy fiasco and you better show the same level of commitment to sandbagging this game as you did that one, especially now in this current political climate more than ever
you absolutely do not gotta hand it to ISIL i'll be 100% real

Watched the original Tron last night and there is something so charming about the CEO being ousted because they discovered that shock, horror, he didn't really code their games and just took credit for other people's work.
Like, imagine living in that world. No Bobby Koticks or Yves Guillemots.

is the western video game industry imminently gonna collapse?
idk. sometimes overcapitalisation crises sort themselves out through decline rather than a full bust era. the layoffs are part of that attempted managed shrinkage — a cheap move that solves little, but part of that attempt
but here’s one thing. the largest bagholder, second largest industrial employer, suffering extreme revenue decline, is Ubisoft. one of the worst overcapitalisations, who had to do catastrophic studio shutdowns, project cancellations and layoffs, is Embracer Group. industrial decline would harshly affect the largest development services company, Keywords, the sixth largest employer in the whole industry. there’s also massive pressure at Paradox and People Can Fly and CD Projekt following high-profile failures
it’s a pattern. Ubisoft lives in val-de-marne and is listed on the parisien stock exchange. Embracer and Paradox are swedish and listed on the stockholm stock-holm exchange. Keywords is in dublin. People Can Fly and CD Projekt are warsawa
the European sector is at risk of immanent industrial collapse
when ubisoft’s disastrous earnings report came in, ceo yves guillemot, shame be upon him, said c’est ne pas un problème due to upcoming major releases. on 20 march, the newest assassins’ creed releases. there’s your camel/back moment. poor sales of that albatross would doom ubisoft and send ripples across europe. doom is 30 days away

Ubisoft Confirms It's Exploring New Rayman Ideas Amid Report Of A Remake
Creator Michel Ancel is consulting on the platformer's next phase

The original Rayman is the game that put Ubisoft on the map. It’s been over a decade since the last installment in the colorful platformer franchise, but the French publisher is currently in the “early stages” of exploring what will come next for the series’ titular limbless hero.
“We are pleased to confirm Ubisoft Montpellier and Ubisoft Milan have recently started an exploration phase on the Rayman brand,” a spokesperson for Ubisoft told Kotaku in an email. “The project is still in its early stages, and we will share more details later.” While a new Rayman might not be ready for some time, the upcoming project seems to be more than just an “exploration” at this point.
Ubisoft’s statement came after Insider Gaming reported that a Rayman remake, codenamed “Project Steambot,” is in early development, and that former members of the Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown team were moved to this new project after a sequel to that game was cancelled amid disappointing sales. Insider Gaming also reported that the original creator of Rayman, Michel Ancel, was consulting on the project, a move which rankled some developers at Ubisoft due to the former director’s reputation for toxic leadership.
The director, who had also previously been heading up Beyond Good and Evil 2, left the company in 2020 amid accusations of bullying fellow developers and being difficult to work with. He denied the allegations at the time, though Kotaku understands that there’s some lingering internal distrust among some employees over how the issues with Ancel were handled by the company.
“As creator of the Rayman brand, Michel Ancel is being consulted to ensure consistency within the universe,” the Ubisoft rep told Kotaku. The company declined to clarify precisely what his role on the project is and whether his involvement was a request of the studios involved or a decision imposed on them by Ubisoft management, including CEO Yves Guillemot, a long-time friend of Ancel’s.
We haven’t had a new Rayman since 2013's Rayman Legends, the series fifth installment, which received critical acclaim and went on to sell nearly 5 million copies across all platforms, including the Wii U and PlayStation Vita. While a remake of the 1995 Rayman wouldn’t technically be a new game in the series, it would probably feel like one given the transformation the PlayStation 1 game would likely go through to revitalize it for modern audiences.
And honestly, Rayman fans would take whatever they can get at this point. The character’s last appearance was in DLC for the Nintendo Switch’s Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope, an excellent XCOM-style spin-off of a Rayman spin-off that nevertheless failed to meet Ubisoft’s internal sales expectations. That game was also made by the company’s Milan studio, which is reportedly leading development on the Rayman remake, and whose creative director left earlier this year after 25 years of service to start something new.

I have momentarily stopped playing one AC game so that I can play a different AC game.
In the interest of not completely burning myself out on Armored Core, I've decided to boot up Black Flag for the first time in ages. And you know what? I genuinely don't know what it is about this game. Like, I thoroughly despise Ubisoft as a company, Yves Guillemot can get fucked just as much as Bobby Fucking Kotick, and every single other Assassin's Creed game has bored the pants off me, but...
Not Black Flag.
There's just something about this game that I find incredibly relaxing. Something about it really speaks to me, on a personal level. It's soothing. It's like pirate-themed comfort food, y'know?

La Chine rachète Ubisoft en urgence pour endiguer la menace négro-gay.
ENFIN !
Un samouraï noir en couple avec une personne non-binaire
#AssassinsCreedShadows
Alors que les gamers agonisaient sous les assauts des transexuels d��ultra-gauche d’Ubisoft, les Chinois sont intervenus pour soulager leurs souffrances.
BFM Bourse :
L’éditeur de jeux vidéo a annoncé jeudi soir la création d’une filiale regroupant ses licences phares et dont Tencent doit prendre 25% pour 1,16 milliard d’euros. Cet argent désendettera Ubisoft. Mais l’opération, complexe, n’est pas sans soulever de questions et semble verrouiller davantage le capital de la société au bénéfice de l’entreprise chinoise. Ubisoft passe par une opération complexe pour lever du cash. L’entreprise de jeux vidéo a annoncé jeudi soir la création d’une nouvelle filiale qui regroupera ses licences les plus « bankables » à savoir Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry et Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six.
Les Chinois vont à l’essentiel : éventrer Ubisoft, prendre ce qu’il y a prendre, booster les titres, et jeter la pute une fois essorée.
Lors d’une conférence téléphonique avec des analystes, Yves Guillemot, le directeur général d’Ubisoft, a indiqué que cette filiale disposerait de sa propre équipe de direction. Les équipes de la société basée dans les studios au Canada, à Barcelone et en Bulgarie rejoindront cette filiale et répondront à cette nouvelle direction.
Le virage à droite va être brutale.
Le contamination marxiste est si forte que Guillemot ne peut rien faire d’autre que de mettre des milliers de kilomètres entre les titres de l’entreprise et ses employés.
Tencent, mastodonte chinois du numérique et allié des Guillemot, famille fondatrice d’Ubisoft, prendra une participation minoritaire de 25% dans cette filiale qui, en gros, gérera l’exploitation de ces licences en reversant des royalties (des redevances) à sa maison-mère (donc Ubisoft). « Avec Tencent, nous avons un investisseur qui va nous aider à faire des trois marques [Far Cry, Assassin’s Creed et Rainbow Six, NDLR] hébergées dans la nouvelle entité des marques capables de générer un milliard d’euros de revenus annuels ou plus, et qui connaît bien les jeux ‘evergreen’ [indémodables et aux revenus récurrents, NDLR] », a déclaré Yves Guillemot aux Échos.
Le type prend sa retraite, en gros.
« Ces marques doivent devenir plus grosses et avec cette organisation, nous allons avoir des équipes se consacrant à un nombre plus limité de franchises et qui seront vraiment concentrées sur la croissance de ces trois actifs », a-t-il ajouté. Tencent a accepté de payer 1,16 milliard d’euros pour prendre cette participation minoritaire, ce qui valorise cette nouvelle filiale 4 milliards d’euros, en valeur d’entreprise. Ce montant s’avère colossal au regard du cours actuel d’Ubisoft. Sur la base du cours de clôture de jeudi, Oddo BHF calcule une valeur d’entreprise de 3,1 milliards d’euros (1,7 milliard d’euros de capitalisation boursière et 1,4 milliard de dette nette en normes IFRS). « Cet écart sensible de valorisation doit s’expliquer par la confortable profitabilité structurelle des actifs de la nouvelle entité (aucune information communiquée sur ce sujet pour l’instant) », explique le bureau d’études dans une note.
Je traduis : ces jeux auront un accès privilégié au marché chinois grâce aux appuis politiques de Tencent, ce qui garantit des bénéfices à l’entreprise.
Cela va de paire avec une réécriture des jeux à base de seins énormes, de masculinité hyper toxique et de haine de la démocratie.
À l’inverse, « le modèle des actifs non transférés (comprenant des jeux comme Ghost Recon et The Division et de nouvelles marques à venir) n’a jamais fait ses preuves (…) avec une valeur d’entreprise implicite qui ressort négative (-1,1 milliard d’euros) sur la base du cours de Bourse actuel », poursuit Oddo BHF. Rappelons que Tencent, qui était entré au capital du groupe en 2018, a l’habitude de payer généreusement pour prendre des participations minoritaires dans les différentes structures de la galaxie Ubisoft. En 2022, le groupe chinois avait pris 49,99% de la société Guillemot Brothers Limited, holding de la famille Guillemot, qui détient 13,7% d’Ubisoft, pour un prix faisant ressortir un cours Ubisoft de 80 euros. Ce alors que l’action de la société de jeux vidéo cotait 43 euros. Tencent avait alors rejoint le concert d’actionnaires familial formé par les Guillemot. Pour revenir à la création de la nouvelle filiale, le cash que versera Tencent permettra à Ubisoft de se désendetter, et pas qu’un peu. Les quelque 1,16 milliard d’euros correspondent quasiment à l’intégralité de la dette nette de l’entreprise (1,4 milliard d’euros donc, en incluant 300 millions d’euros de « leasing »), remarque Oddo BHF. Les craintes liées au refinancement de la dette de l’entreprise, Deutsche Bank évoquant 500 millions d’euros arrivant à échéance en 2026, n’ont donc plus de raison d’être. « Cette injection de cash soulage significativement la photographie bilancielle », résume TP ICAP Midcap. La finalisation de l’opération doit survenir d’ici à la fin de l’année calendaire 2025. À la Bourse de Paris, l’annonce reste relativement bien accueillie. Le titre Ubisoft prend 8,8% à l’heure du déjeuner. Toutefois, eu égard à la forte volatilité du titre ces derniers, cette progression reste mesurée. « La réaction des investisseurs n’est pas extrêmement forte, on manque de détails, notamment sur les royalties, et l’opération demeure complexe et complique la structure de l’entreprise. Par ailleurs, les problèmes opérationnels d’Ubisoft, notamment sa faculté à dégager des flux de trésorerie positifs, ne sont pas résolus. Le marché reste un peu méfiant », estime un analyste. « Après cela reste une annonce positive avec plus d’un milliard d’euros de cash dégagé », nuance-t-il. « Ce type d’opération financière rend encore plus compliquée la structure d’Ubisoft et verrouille encore plus son capital au profit de Tencent« , juge de son côté Oddo BHF.
Les Chinois sont des gens normaux.
Ils veulent des gros seins, de la masculinité toxique, pas de nègres dans les jeux, et, plus généralement, une expérience plaisante.
En Occident, à cause des juifs, des femmes blanches et des homosexuels, l’industrie du jeu se résume désormais à agresser à les gamers (à 80% des hommes blancs hétérosexuels).
Le fait est que, pour une raison inconnue, la Chine a décidé de libérer l’homme blanc.

Just gonna drop a few interesting headlines here...
Dec 2024: Rayman is now a propaganda officer who 'was witness to the many injustices of America and...was happy to see America fall', and you need to buy an NFT to play the game
Dec 2024: ~6 months after its release, Ubisoft announced that they're shutting down XDefiant, servers will go offline in June 2025
Oct 2024: 'Monetization Director' (I want to barf just writing that) thinks everyone should stop being mean to Ubisoft and we should all uplift each other. Presumably all the people they've laid off don't count.
Jan 2023: Ubisoft CEO told employees to be careful and efficient, that making up the company's shortfalls and hitting their new targets was down to them. Hilariously and predictably, the French employees promptly called a strike.
So basically: fuck em!
