    (for companies) is a tiny thing they “forgot” to mention

  2. Sailing the seas is also fun for some people 🏴‍☠️

  3. Micro transactions are so fun that a group of ex ubisoft employees left the company to create sandfall and make clair obscur expedition 33 which is a single player game without ANY micro transactions that managed to sell millions of copies on opening week and it has an overwhelmingly positive rating on steam.

    Your own ex-devs showed you how it’s done better than yourselves Ubisoft.

  4. Yeah, and I think pirating Ubisoft is more fun than buying them.

    So money can buy happiness all along? 😮

    Sure, it makes games more fun…for them because they end up making more money.

    well that’s a fucking lie. I hate microts, they ruin any sense of accomplishment or progression in a game…. games are primarily meant for enjoyment not to be stuck being a ubisoft slave

  8. I can’t wait for this piece of shit company to disappear.

    Oh yes, I definitely loved the “time savers” they were selling in AC games. What a fun mechanic !

  10. Wanna know what’s more fun? Buying and enjoying games like clair obscur made by ex-ubisoft talent while that company fails because of its own greed, mismanagement, and creative stagnation

    Whenever I hear someone from Ubisoft talk, more and more I’m glad for having no interest in any of their games now.

  12. LOL! When the money bubble pops and they no longer see themselves in the mirror all they have left is cope.

  13. Keep digging ubisoft. Keep digging your own grave with stupid statements like this.

    Wow, who would have thought that when the whole game is designed around purchases, the purchases are required for the most fun experience! 😱

    It’s like they forget that they can make a game just as fun without the micro-transactions if they didn’t design with them in mind to begin with.

    It’s not like I play Baldurs Gate 3 and think, “man, this sure could use some predatory business practices”.

    Idiots.

    News Just in: dopamine hits from an activity makes that activity “fun” to your brain.

    Does the brain care if the action itself is bad? Not a damn

  16. NeverNotOnceEver

    If I were a CEO, I would simply say nothing

    I haven’t bought a Ubisoft game for ages and micro transactions is a one thing that keeps me away. Aside from their horrible client on PC, their games are extremely inconsistent.

    Ubisoft blows.

  18. GoochRash

    Anyone still buying Ubisoft games at this point only have themselves to blame.

    They could be.

    But companies will do what they do and succumb to greed and unrealistic perpetual growth expectations.

    So MTX then infect every part of the games development so all decisions become stained by it. No longer are games developed through the lense of creating a fun game and complete product. Now its all through the lense of maximising MTX gains at the expense of everything else.

    So we get tainted tick box games that are designed for psychological manipulation. AKA the anthisesis of fun.

    Remember when Ubisoft nearly bankrupt? How’s that going, that was fun for me.

  21. Waffler11

    I feel like they’re deliberately *trying* to tank their business. Maybe for some free bankruptcy money?

  22. How is a company this out of touch and still successful?
