Considering how Disney would buy out entire movie theater rooms to make their ticket sales numbers seem higher than they really were, the practice you're talking about isn't unheard of.
This is what is hilarious to me. Going full digital made it so game companies can’t guarantee a revenue stream from physical stores. Big companies have pretty much dug their own grave through removal of a reliable revenue stream. It does allow the companies to fudge the numbers (especially through streaming services) but it’ll only last as long as the investors don’t ask questions.
it’ll only last as long as the investors don’t ask questions.
Only for investors that are giving them money directly like Blackrock with their ESG loans. Investors can pump up the stock price as much as they want. Ubi doesn't get any of that money. Without money coming in from sales, a high stock price just means a harder crash for those ignorant investors.
And like Disney stockholders, they will deserve every bit of it.
Physical copies are essentially guaranteed revenue, since most retailers would rather mark down a shitty game than go through the hassle of returning them to the distributor.
That said, there's always the risk that big fish like Walmart will ram a spiky dildo up a publisher's ass if it's shitty enough.
pretty close to correct. if they don't go full DEI and globalist liberal propaganda they'll be put out of business. the rates on their loans will be jacked up and they'll have difficulty funding any future game.
gaming companies are propaganda outlets now. that's just how it is. once they overshadowed movies in terms of viewers/players and yearly revenue it was going to happen.
Eh, I wouldn't be so optimistic. It's still higher than in March and has already recovered 1/3 of those 15%.
