[SAD NEWS] Modern audience didn't show up for ass creed!

That is not the way the board and shareholders will see it you fucking retard

the markets is much bigger now, investors expect sales to increase

ESG funds:
Multi-national banking consortiums that actually have all the money in the world have started assigning companies environmental, social and governance (ESG) ratings. The higher a company's ESG rating, the higher its stock value shoots up.

ESG ratings are completely made up. Its basically how woke is your company, and how 'compliant' it is to WEF ideolgy.

Firms like Blackrock assign the ESG rating of a company, which is why a company like Nike has a high ESG rating but Tesla has a low ESG rating because of Elon Musk.

This is the future. Even if the product:

1.doesn't sell,

2.is critically-panned

or

3.utterly 'flops'

the ESG rating of the company goes up for doing this, and they make money.
the "Success" is derived merely from delivering the 'message' (shit-lib propaganda).
"Woke" Companies/products are 'built-to-lose' and infact, its completely irrelevant whether a product is profitable or not, as the 'message-it-self' was the KPI for the company. Funding is secured solely on the basis of the participants willingness to deliver liberal-world-order messaging.
ESG-scores create a future where only the most contrived, explicitly political, focus-grouped, boardroom approved, socially engineered products surface for mere moments before being consumed by the oblivion of the next, an endless escalation of the ludicrious

Further, the effects can only endlessly escalate in both ferocity and illogicality as time goes on.

"Go woke, Go Broke"

Will never work, because the companies are "built to lose" now.

words words words

Should've just made a fun game sweetie. Now kiss my grits suger

AAAA game

Are people really starting to use that term?

BLACKED

Nice reddit bot-written copypasta. Would get you lots of updoots.

We be broke n sheit

So shadows sold similarly to a game that was considered a massive hit and launched a massive franchise with 10+ entries? This doesn't sound that bad?

lmao, retarded kike spotted

Assassins creed 1 cost $7-$10 million to make

Assassins creed:nigger cost $300 million to make

do you understand now SHIT BRAIN

they get what they deserve

Plus AC1 did that in one month rather than more than 2 (at which point this one is already out of gas). And on top of that it started a franchise instead of killing it

ok joomer

with everything else already said, any normal gamer in 2025 knows to wait at least a year for any new game so it goes on sale and receives all relevant bug fixes. Imagine buying a broken game at launch full price and you get niggerery nonsense

this sassy little kitten cheered on vax firings, 100% guaranteed

This. I'm not buying a 90 dollar video game if I am going to be forced to play as a fucking nigger in 2025. Shrimple as that.

they switched out the jap protag with a black man during bml riots.
they developed the game while the DEI gestapo was at its peak, publicly executing anyone speaking out.
ubisoft missed both windows.
what did they expect?

new ip sold that much in its first month compared to 2 months.
with a much smaller scale and budget while roughly having the same price tag.
it's a flop.

I've mainly heard it as quadruple A failure

Not only that but intel were throwing in ass creed for free if you bought a CPU from them, I wonder how many of those 367000 PC copies were free downloads from people redeeming the voucher?

Imagine paying money to play

Imagine paying money to play as a filthy bl*ck.

Hollywood/silicon tech refuses to acknowledge something that all entertainers knew for a century. You never want to show black people, it ruins all immersion and fantasy. We play games and watch movies to enter worlds where niggers do not exist, true escapism that excels will never feature a nigger ever, that is why Japanese media is doing well. 99% of the stories/themes from Japan are childish horsecrap BUT they do not feature niggers so it will always do well for that alone.

You don't need to do any of those things unless you are a flat slob that's addicted to slop and can't self sustain a single component of your life without MUH sloppa job. If life is meaningless to you without goy gaymes, plastic shart and cardboard picture toys then you are just a man child that's just now realizing how worthless you are.

What you hate is that there are masculine men that exist and we know how to produce real value with just two hands and a strong back. Your children will compare you to us, you know that, and it makes you cry like the bitch that you are.

assassins creed

budget of about 30 million

sells 2.4 million in a month

assassins creed: zesty buck

estimated budget between 250 and 300 million

struggles to sell 2.4 million copies in 3 months

Yeah 10x the budget for 1/3 of the sales sounds catastrophic.

Wow, all of that at stake and you hedged ALL OF it on forcing a fat nigger in medieval Japan down peoples' throats, despite even protests by the Japanese government!
Eat your words you miserable faggot.
This outcome is nothing more than absolute justice for your transgressions on the medium and arrogance towards the social decay people like you have a hand in.

You're likey just another dipshit woman who is an absolute slave to social pressure and has been coddled your entire life to where daddy society/govt/institution comes and swoops in to dust the dirt off your skirt.

Even now, with this outcome being forced onto you; you will not think about what you have done.
You will remain ignorant to the sheer amount of damage you have caused to society.
And even though it is being told, directly to your face, in no uncertain words - you will ignore them alongside the cards reality has dealt you.
Instead, you will justify it all with some absolutely asinine thought like:

B-b-but I did everything right!

Fuck off and die. Why even come to this place with your tears?

Old reddit pasta, but if they did not want to lose their jobs they could have tried making a game people actually want to play

Please americans and canadians keep your black penis cuckold fetish to yourself.

>The game cost $15 million to $20 million to develop and was in the works for four years. The game had a marketing budget of $10 million

assassins creed 1

While Ubisoft hasn't revealed the exact amount it spent developing Assassin's Creed Shadows, expert estimates place it between $250 million and $350 million

games really have become too expensive

games really have become too expensive

Eh, not really. These days you could push out about the similar quality with a indie team of 5 guys in moms basement.
There is like 99% of useless fat in most of AAA studios leeching the development funds and bringing nothing concrete to the table.

line must go up

This.

Chuds warned ubi that nigger ass creed will flop but they didn’t listen.

This is old news it flopped hard

kek should have made a good game nigger, hope they all end up having to suck off tramps to survive

Kek good pasta. Never seen this one

Was fun in gta, could’ve been fun in a game set in Ethiopia or even in 30s Louisiana or something like that. I don’t see a point in playing as some nigger killing japs

How much did Asscreed 1 cost to make?
How big wast the market 18 years ago?
If you think that the sales performance after 18 years is even comparable you are retarded.

Sold

they gave out an untold number of free game keys lmao
So, no telling how many of those “sales” are just free plays

Yeah except the market is significantly bigger and games are far more expensive

250-350 to develop

Ahahahahahahahahhahahaaaa

I used to pirate a lot but now I have a job and I like achievements and multiplayer with friends. I still pirate paradox games because I'm not paying $300 for the full experience

367k PC sales

holy fucking KEK

The future is hopeless with people like you in the timeline.

Normally I'd feel sorry for the artists and developers losing their jobs, because of managerial incompetence. But most if not all employees of woke gaming companies, are woke themselves. I have no sympathy for my enemies. Kill them all.

This is the Reddit-tier salt I come to Anon Babble for these days. Thanks, woman!

We’ve been taught lessons and abused for decades on end. You people are ruthless, merciless and cruel. Now it’s time for you to learn lessons. It won’t be fun, as you can already tell.

Valhalla sold 20 mil and the two before that 10 mil.

Even Mirage, what was supposed to be a shorter, small-scale game in between Valhalla and Shadows, sold 5 mil.

This is absolutely pathetic especially after all the shilling.

In all the years of Assassins Creed, every fan imagined one set in Japan. It's the perfect setting because it has ninjas. Which is a perfect assassin for the franchise.
What did we get?
A gay nigger that plays nothing like a typical assassin from the series, and OH LOOK a ninja! And it's a stupid girl.
What should have been one of the better AC games was ruined. Damn French.

Who would buy it anyway? Just shell out $20 for a month of Ubi+ and get your fill. No one revisits AC games.

why make a $350million dollar game then send it directly to your bargin-bin?

makes absolutely ZERO sense

ChatGPT - write me up a realistic Anon Babble saltpost to garner maximum (You)s.

Here is the content of the OP.

I bought it at launch and stopped playing at maybe 20hrs. They keep fucking around with the combat style and have dumbed down skill trees so it’s not even worth focusing on a play style (like stealth/assassin vs tank fighter). All the cool assassin creed climbing and puzzle solving is gone. They barely even acknowledge the lore anymore. It just another open world complete mission and collect shit game. It’ll give it credit that it looks beautiful. But it’s just boring. The last small AC baghdad game that focused on old style stealth was much better, short and fun. I miss the old Enzo games.

games really have become too expensive

not if you hire capable developers and not waste half the budget on marketing because the game is irredeemable shit and will never ever sell for itself

I gave up halfway through Ass Is Red 2
It was a running simulator
Run forward and hold A and you win
The climbing involved no thought, just hold A and want Ezio auto-parkour from place to place

For 30 years that I have a computer, bought only heroes 3, it was sold in our country under license at the price of pirate disc 2$
Starcraft 2 for batle.net and EU4.

All other games were downloaded for free. And to download DEI games is like being a faggot.

I'm not reading all that. Give the customer what they ordered or fuck off. The customer has ordered Moonman: Tactical Nigger Slaying Action but instead you delivered George Floyd Samurai. After all the shit niggers have done in just the last decade what kind of tone deaf morons thought making a game about a nigger breaking more shit was going to sell.

There was a big shill campaign and they said it was a hit lol. @pepe is this true?

This better be copy-pasta you fucking redditoid

AC1 was also physical disks.

BREAKING: Niggers ruin everything. News at 10.

You’re such an imbecile. Anyone with a half a brain (niggers) won’t play the game either. The boardroom trannies promoted through political ideology and plebbit shitposting about lehatewytemayomonkey tanked an otherwise easy sell due to their own hatred for other people - namely their target demographic audience of Anon Babble weeaboos on a JAPANESE COPY IMAGEBOARD. They absolutely deserve to lose their jobs. All of them.

I don’t see a point in playing as some nigger killing japs

I mean, honestly your post did a better job accidentally trying to sell me on this game than any blue-haired journo could. The idea of playing just to be the single violent blank in shogunate Japan is pretty entertaining. Does anyone know if I can shoot a bow and arrow sideways? Can I fool the town guards by saying I dindunuffin as they try to arrest me for eminently public crimes? I want this thing to be an On Patrol Live crossover.

This is actually a fantastic idea. A game about a murderous nigger with LA Noir type cutscenes where you talk your way out of crime with the most basic SJW comical talking points

Achievement unlocked! Floyd-san - You convinced the shogun's men that economic forces made you filet that fishmonger and take his yen

Play as a tall buff black guy who stands two feet taller than any other male character, takes half-damage, can gorilla kick a guy 20 feet like he’s a football, can Kool-Aid Man his way through solid doors and walls using raw negro strength, is an expert with every Japanese weapon, learned fluent written and spoken Japanese as a native African by eavesdropping a few conversations during a boat ride, became the greatest swordsman in his dojo in like a year, and spends his time roaming the Japanese countryside using his BBC energy to slaughter the legions of inferior tiny yellow men set to a hip hop soundtrack with the opportunity to BLACK Japanese noblewomen and an MtF tranny

This is actually the game if you play as Yasuke by the way.

Nice pasta. Much pathos. Very gripping.

I don't care.

I don't care about the developers. They've made shit product for too many years. It is justified for them to go hungry and bereft for their singular failure to deliver a product worth my money.

I don't care about their children. Though innocent in their parent's failure, they're children of people who would take my money without recompense.

I don't care about your feelings. If you want to affect me, use logic and possibly personal virtue, and even then you better be someone important to me and mine. I'm tired of virtue signaling freaks, lacking any actual virtue, demanding attention.

I don't care about what you think bitterness, hatered, or spitefulness is. I'm all out of sympathy for your kind. Go live in a commune and get off of the internet.

I don't care about your opinion of my life. You have clearly wasted yours and I wish to have nothing to do with it.

I don't care about your hate. You are worthless not only to me, but to the world at large. If you breed (unlikely), give your child away to someone else. They deserve good parents. They deserve a life without you.

With apathy

So how much in the hole are they? They game had to cost at least 300 million probably more what is that at least 150 million dollar loss? I wonder if the executives are considering blowing their brains out or will they keep doubling down

Amazing what the results can be for making an inefrior product

Amazing how it went from Jesper Kyd to this shit.

Here's some gold for you, stranger.

Apparently the whole game is full of these retarded songs. What were they thinking?
youtube.com/watch?v=pTFhjsV0lXo

Last I heard, enough that the CEO is trying to scramble together a liferaft with their best IPs and selling to Tencent. The board however seems to think this is a bit suspect and are trying to scuttle the plan.

I'm thinking they'll quintuple down all the way to perdition.

When is the meeting? Can I short Ubi?

Firstly, that isn't true. There was a huge shift in playstyle once origins hit. Secondly, it would be so fucking easy to sell 100 games the same as AC if you highlighted different settings and made them well. They instead highlighted the setting by putting a nigger where he doesn't belong. AC was a money printing franchise before they decided to fuck it all up with bad choices. Being able to experience history is based. Being sold fake history is gay.

No-one has the stomach for another Ubisoft ancient illuminate crusader templar proxy hold land pseudo-history phantasy while they keep seeing dead babies every day in their social media feeds.

Go back and play Assassins Creed 1 and tell me the whole things isn't a racist screed and political vehicle for middle east wars.

Well at least it will be funny to see that. Too bad they have Tom Clancy games tho I loved the original ghost recon. All they had to do was put the tactical squad based shooter in the bag but no instead we got nigger samurai

shove nigger in game that it doesn't belong in

NNNOOOOO WHY DIDN'T YOU CONSUME OUR PRODUCT! THE CONSOOOMER BEING BIGOTED WAS THE PROBLEM NOT US

Jesper Kyd

Ah fuck, that's gonna be Hitman BGM in my brain for awhile

You're here forever. Get comfy, buttercup.

yasuke simulator made more of a profit than asscreed

I read Thomas Lockley's book recently and I swear it's just the author's thinly veiled fetish

I don't get it either.
Just pick 40 to 80 dudes who actually know what they're doing, give the Splinter Cell, or Might and Magic, or Rayman, or Prince of Persia, say they have a budget of ~10M and a firm deadline in a year or two and watch the pennies roll into piles.
But no, they need to be progressive and inclusive and diverse.

There IS no diverse audience!
Women don't BUY video games, coloreds STEAL them!

This is why Asia is stealing the west lunch when it comes to entertainment.

I really liked Assassin's Crees 2, and whatever the one that followed it was, but by the time I got to the third Ezio game, had no interest in slogging through another one of those ever again.

I would avoid shorting. Tencent announced a potential buyout 2 months ago the current spread at last close is insane. Its already dipped hard and is spiking up

The pirate one is the only marginally fun one and that's entirely because of the side aspects due to the setting like the ship and sea interaction. They are a walking simulator where npcs move slower than your walk speed.

Wrong board
That said, it’s high time this walking abomination of a company fucks off. 20,000 employees just to make games lmao

This isn't news. The videogame industry already died long ago, it's just predatory data-driven cash grabs now. Every new title will flop because they've alienated the core customers for 10+ years and everyone holding out hope has given up.

Imagine being a racist. Cringe!

Good. That is what you get for catering to an "audience" only existing in your consultants head.

Weak bait

Were these faggots thinking of their families and children when they were insulting their customer base?

The entire western gaming industry is about to learn a harsh lesson about what happens to people who forget who butters their bread.

Games used to make a lot of money because there were only like 12-20 good ones.
But now everyone and their nigger has made a game.

I guarantee someone thought they were doing just that with the new prince of persia game
Yes they made a prince of persia game in the last year

Small team

Middleware budget

Niggered protagonist

Changed platformer action game into sidescroller indieslop

Gay nigger pipe cleaner hair art design

Shocking it sold no copies amirite?

There is a whole "creative led" game slate coming out and getting zero sales, trying to capitalize on the unreal engine jeet pipeline. Just think about every soft lockon 3rd person shooting mechanics and a black girl protagonist with family issues game you've seen in the last fiscal year. That's your vibrant lean BBB game studio subsidiary of AAA parent company.

They should have leaned in into it and made a chimp out simulator set in medieval japan

As long as they pump more and more humongous sums into their trash, likely.
Gaming is still in its hollywood 1920s bloatphase and they going to eat dirt hard.
May GTA fail miserably too.
