“We are looking into a way to turn this into multiple subscription services focused on getting you to gamble that will be allowed in our primary markets.”
They’re going to holistically synergize the market capitalization to optimize a paradigm shift for shareholders.
They expect it to bomb and they’re going to flood it with microtransactions and vague “AI-enhanced fetch quests” or some bullshit.
They’re not trying to make a better user experience, squash bugs, or polish the story, they’re “extracting value” - I’d stay far away from this one folks.
The way they word that is amazing, you can’t really fluff that up anymore. Looks like they expect it to bomb.
I don’t know if there’s a combination of words that has less content, or destroys any hope left for the game more thoroughly than what they chose. Never could I have imagined that one sentence would manage to bottom out both categories at once. Give my compliments to the

Doesn’t sound like a problem to me?
Yea, I couldn’t care less what the shareholders want. The point of a product is to be good for the purchaser. Once you take your focus off making a good product, you’re through.
Shit show of a game and a company.

Sounds right, fuck the players.
the wording of that announcement evokes a similar feeling to how i write things when im nearing the end of a project, experiencing extreme crunch, and begging for the sweet release of the deadline finally approaching. i’m in a trance like state during those times, barely conscious, barely coherent, just doing what i need to in order to reach tomorrow.
i can imagine there are a lot of people at ubisoft right now experiencing something similar. do not mistake this for empathy. i don’t know what im saying.
Not doubting it but is there a source besides Bluesky? I know he’s a game journalist but I can’t link a quote
