    Why hasn’t the board already fired the CEO? Or is the board just full of family members?

    Remember when everyone was on the Guillemots side when they fought to prevent a hostile takeover from Vivendi. The Guillemots became what they feared what Vivendi would have done to the company.

    Please don’t forget that even when this company made “better” games and was more profitable, their management and executives were wilful participants in rampant sexual abuse of their workers. Ubisoft is, always has been, and always will be a pile of festering shit and bankruptcy would be too good for them.

    Now the problem is that revenue is still above 0. We need to pump those numbers DOWN.

    It’s definitely a “you get what you deserve” situation, yet I can’t help but be sad, thinking that more than a decade ago, Ubisoft made some of my favorite games (e.g Splinter Cell series, Far Cry 3, AC Black Flag).

    Though that Ubisoft is long gone by now, and I haven’t touched their games for years.

      Black Flag was insanely good, it boggles my mind they managed not to capitalise on that

      Edit: guys, I know they tried, but they still failed

    Hey maybe shadows will finally turn them around, I’m sure they did I’m something interesting and new with the game to get us to take notice.

    I honestly don’t understand this situation and how horny people are to see ubisoft fail. I get it their games are not stellar masterpieces but honestly they are okay/good. It feels like they are incredibly overhated.

      When their CEO said that players should get comfortable not owning the games they paid for I went from not really caring about their games to actively disliking the company
