To be fair to Ubisoft, which is hard to stomach, they aren't a small company. Even if one IP was going strong, they couldn't sustain their size and value. They need multiple IPs making waves and raking in cash to remain stable at the point they were, and especially to keep investors in their corner.
Its a good lesson about not expanding when the getting is good in a volatile industry.
Expansion is the meta, especially when the "recession" word is taboo. Stupid normie investors expect number go up when they give you money, and wasting their money hiring dead weight is considered "boosting shareholder value" in the increasingly retarded stock market.
I'm starting to understand why companies that actually care about their business stay private, or failing that, make the voting shares obscenely expensive, like Berkshire Hathaway's A-class shares.
I can't wait for Shadows to drop. I will bet Ubisoft is absolutely shitting their pants right now about it being yet another flop for them.
How many flops can one game corpo have in a single year?
They're going for that 100% achievement.
They're 2 big 2 fail.
When you have 2 major titles? One.
The latest cope I’ve been seeing from Ubi shills is pointing to a tweet from Tom Henderson (who?) saying AC Shadows preorders are “strong”.
The thing is if the preorder numbers are that good, then why is investor confidence still tanking?

Could be Star Wars Outlaws not selling as expected
