As of this writing, AC:S has just 41,412 peak concurrent players. DA:V, an admitted and monstrous flop, peaked at 89,418. Now, AC may bump those numbers slightly this weekend, but they would have to more than double their current peak just to do as bad as Veilguard. Yasukesisters.... it's over....

Amazing how the winning move for Ubisoft was to give us a Japanese AC played straight (Asian male protagonist as a choice, no gay shit, respectful of Japanese history, etc). It would have sold like crazy. But they just couldn't resist as it was kicked off during peak woke era and I'm sure SBI types were involved.
Also a theory on how Tencent owns a piece of Ubisoft already and is encouraging a lot of ESG toxicity so that the value of the company will drop further, making their acquisition a lot cheaper. ESG and other woke crap is wielded like corporate sabotage
Also softens the market so Chiense games will sell better.
This is the part that worries me. I don't trust China's presence in the industry any more than I trust the woke presence in the industry. Both are hostile forces looking to do harm.
Doing harm is bad for the bottom line. Like we are seeing with the woke presence, it is a self-correcting problem eventually.
It takes way too long though. We're only seeing a correction with the woke shit well over a decade after it became a problem.
Considering West Taiwan is buying up every gaming company that they can get their hands on and are directly working with the ones they can't the problem is in no way self-correcting.
remember, sbi grew like a cancer out of ubisoft
