Comment on Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version

  Oh boy. If you look at Ubisoft’s stock prices, it’s way down.

  Like high 80s in 2018. And now it’s 8, roughly 1/10th if it’s value.

  They aren’t going to survive another few years at this rate without some bangers. How stupid their leadership has been, with NFTs, with their sexual harassment lawsuits, with bonehead anti-consumer practices is just accelerating this downfall.

    Gotta love the response to your post showing that boycotts do in fact work. They may not work instantly, but they do work if it’s your actual customer base doing the boycott. The Bud Light boycott also worked. The Target boycott has their stock in a tailspin, regardless of what they are claiming are the company’s actual issues.

  Boycott doesn’t work, grab pitchforks and torches(EU citizens only).

    Well Ubisoft’s stock has tanked hard over the years as they’ve been doing shady things.

    I’ve been very tempted to try their new Assassins Creed, but hey, I’ve managed to refrain from doing so.

      Stock isn’t revenue.

        It’s what the shareholders care about though.
