“One of the things we saw is that gamers are used to, a little bit like DVD, having and owning their games. That’s the consumer shift that needs to happen. They got comfortable not owning their CD collection or DVD collection. That’s a transformation that’s been a bit slower to happen [in games].”
I’m totally OK not owning Ubisoft games… but not in the way they would prefer… Where I hand them money and still don’t own anything.
Ubisoft need to get comfortable gamers bot buying their games.
A wise someone once said that if you can’t own anything, you can’t pirate anything.
Hoist the Jolly Roger!
I don’t know what planets he’s on but I still have all my DVDs if I choose to stream stuff as well that’s my choice but is all the streaming services went down I’ve still got all my Star Trek shows.
Anyway what’s he talking about steam exists and is wildly popular so that movement has already happened. What they’re trying to push is live service games.
I’ve been digitizing my spouse’s massive dvd collection and hosting them in the house on jellyfin. All the convenience, none of the cost.
Yeah. It’s almost like video games are a totally different market from movies or music. 🤦🏻♂️
I for one appreciate Ubisoft.
If they hadn’t fucked up so hard, their talent wouldn’t have quit/got fired in order to give us expedition 33
Sounds like someone is upset that they cannot appease their shareholders by selling uninteresting video games riddled with microtransactions and cash grabs. I think that its time their leadership revisit the Agile Manifesto.
Fuck you too, Ubisoft.
If the customer is the problem, then your product is bad.
Ubislop need to be reminded that if you make a shit product, with a legally abusive EULA, no one owes you anything. You will go out of business, and we’ll applaud as your headquarters are repossessed by the real estate company
Again.
Continue to spit in my face, blame me for your shitty games and your questionable attitude, it’s totally going to help you!
Well have they considered making something I have any interest in buying? I appreciate this is a personality defect of mine where I don’t just blindly purchase things, but because I’m apparently morally reprehensible, I have no intention of changing, so they’re going to have to make the effort instead.
Well fuck me for not being grateful for tepid gruel, I guess.
What’s funny is this dude essentially argues the opposite. He’s a dude that got upset some publication said killing fascists was fun. He’s pro gruel.
Yeah honestly I really can’t put my finger on it I like this guy or not.
do market research and create a product/service that will sell
keep doing what youre doing and cry about it like a bitch
Let’s see what the executives of a multimillionaire international powerhouse studio will choose.
“We have investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing”
Ubisoft can floss its intestines with rusty razor wire coated with fresh sewage.
I’m finding you when I need to spruce up my writing
By all means!
Ubisoft has been run by assholes for at least 20 years
it’s a family business. they’ve always been run by assholes.
I used to like this company.
On the plus side, I have removed myself as a problem for them. You’re welcome, Ubisoft!
Ubisoft is listed in euro stock market as UBI.PA
Their stonk has been nose diving since 2018 ATH of €107/share. The company leadership needs to point at itself for its abysmal performance, not the consumers.
“Our customer base isn’t as stupid as we thought. That’s the real problem here guys.” - Ubisoft, probably.
I mean, I just take it in the tone of voice people use to congratulate communities for positive community impact.
“Look at how clean this river is now! So many members of the community showed up to contribute, and I’m proud of you all! You did this!”
Cue the Skinner Simpsons meme. But replace Skinner with that dipshit guillemot
Do these dummies realize that this makes us less likely to ever buy an UbiSlop game?
This reminds me of a “scandal” when I was much younger where the Intel CEO at the time made a statement to the effect that their customers are the enemy, simply because they weren’t willing to blindly open their wallets and give whatever they could spare to the corporation.
Sadly, people are stupid (groups of people, at least). And the disease of consumerism is devouring our society from the inside out.
So the argument of this video is anti-woke crusaders don’t exist? That they’re not organized since gamergate? That they’re responding to as he put it legitimate “shallow politics, performative casting, and and tone deaf writing” instead of knee jerk misogyny and racism? Because that’s what the excerpt he highlighted is obviously discussing as a risk. So either he thinks that those groups don’t exist or that all consumers are legitimately part of those groups. Or he’s just misrepresenting some bullshit he read from their annual report for rage bait.
Legendary Drops is an anti-woke grifter who pretends to be “non-political”.
That would explain him getting in a tizzy over that excerpt then
I noticed something was off when looking at the childish comments of the video and although it started out normally it quickly began hinting at the same anti-woke bullshit talking points they always try to apply to everything that doesn‘t match their twisted, self-enforced and ultimately self-contradictory world view. It‘s a terrible video by a terribly bitter loser who couldn‘t figure out why Ubisoft and other AAA companies are failing when it‘s spelled out for him to save his life. No idea what that even gets posted here and users are certainly only upvoting it here because they only read the title but I find it fascinating how we found the guy who could probably run Ubisoft even worse than it‘s current head.
I was so close to buy the subscription for Trackmania but the shit they always pull and pulled lately makes me reluctant to give them a cent.
How can consumers be a problem in a capitalist, free market economy?
Haven’t gotten anything from ubusoft since they gave me a free version of splinter cell with my video card 13 years ago. Still haven’t played it.
Got invited to the Anno Closed Beta, that garbage wouldn’t start even after multiple tries
Ubisoft. Dont worry, it is going to drip down any second now.

“If only we had direct access to the money, we wouldn’t even need to make games.”

^ Pretty much the goal of capitalism. “Once we achieve infinite growth we will generate unlimited wealth with no effort. The line will go straight up forever!”
