Get woke, go brok-err, lowest the stock has ever been

[u/ChillbroBaggins10]

[u/BrilliantWriting3725]

3 million players guise. It's not even top 70 in the steam charts but there are 3 million leprechauns playing this game on console.

[u/wildstrike → u/BrilliantWriting3725]

Remember Xdefiant had 3 million players in the first 48 hours and that game didn't last 6 months.

[u/AppointmentStill → u/BrilliantWriting3725]

Dude, you can't rely on Steam player counts. They don't include little people playing at the end of the rainbow.

[u/ErikaThePaladin → u/AppointmentStill]

Something needs to be done about Steam's anti-Irish discrimination...

[u/ChargeProper → u/ErikaThePaladin]

😂

[u/Dornishswill → u/AppointmentStill]

Lmao you had me at the first half… was getting ready to furiously reply 

[u/noirpoet97 → u/BrilliantWriting3725]

That reminds me, did they ever beat that number? Feel like everything has been radio silent about it now and all that remains are the memes of how offensively bad the game was

[u/voidox → u/noirpoet97]

lol ya, if the game had reached 4m players or higher they would 100% be blasting that PR tweet as well, the fact that they haven't says a lot + no word on sales.

even if this game had 3m sales, which it didn't since it was players, that wouldn't be enough to even break-even... yet the ubisoft defenders legit live in fantasy land where they think the game was successful.

[u/Arkene → u/BrilliantWriting3725]

i'm willing to accept that there are a lot of console kiddy players and a lot of people on PC are playing by subbing to Ubi+ for a month. It largely doesn't change though that 3 million players is about half of what they need to break even if everyone of those players brought the game. possibly not even that if the amount they have spent on marketing isn't included in they 250m number bandied around for the cost...and i have huge doubts that many of those players are buyers...

[u/One_Distribution7972 → u/Arkene]

Imagine being a normie that gets no video game media. After a long week of grueling work you sit down to play your Japanese samurai game... but what is this? Why is the game making you play as a gay non Japanese character sticking it to white men? What does this have to do with the shogunate? Why are there Chinese symbols in my JAPANESE game? Why am I being lectured about 3rd wave feminism? Why is my female character from 400 years ago a lesbian? 

I'd be bewildered and pissed.

[u/Significant-Ad-7182 → u/Arkene]

What do even people play that is on Ubi+?

[u/Data_ → u/BrilliantWriting3725]

Probably counted everyone who started up the game on Gamepass and the like. Which doesn't directly make them money, and I doubt many people are signing up for it to play this trash.

[u/ConfirmPassword → u/BrilliantWriting3725]

A bazillion activations.

[u/Farandrg]

At least they owned the chuds

[u/KK-Chocobo → u/Farandrg]

"It's not about the money, it's about sending a message"

[u/Farandrg → u/KK-Chocobo]

We know, they're parasites burning other people's money.

[u/HBKII → u/Farandrg]

Are you describing woke devs or just socialism in general?

[u/Mitchel-256 → u/HBKII]

Tomato, tomato.

[u/Farandrg → u/HBKII]

I meant woke devs, but applies to both.

[u/voidox → u/KK-Chocobo]

ya, legit saw a new cope from those ubisoft defenders who are now saying AC: Shadows brought in "so much VALUE" to Ubisoft... w.e the fck that means.

[u/ChargeProper → u/KK-Chocobo]

Message received, the west sucks at games now and Asia is taking over, got it

[u/kendallmaloneon → u/KK-Chocobo]

burgers?!

[u/ThisAintDota → u/Farandrg]

As a 35 year old who grew up playing rainbow six 3, and ghost recon titles, this hurts to see.

[u/muscarinenya → u/ThisAintDota]

Right ?

Ultimately it's sad, we'd all be better off if Ubisoft was making good games

But, fuck them still

[u/Fun_Score5537 → u/ThisAintDota]

AC 1&2 was sooo freaking good to play through as a young teen. They really revolutionized world traversal with the climbing mechanics. It's sad how greed and the rainbow ideology is more important than having fun and making fun products.

[u/scotty9090 → u/Fun_Score5537]

AC 1 was one of the things that got me through the tough part of my divorce. I have fond memories of that game.

[u/One_Distribution7972 → u/ThisAintDota]

Just realize the people that made your favorite games aren't there anymore. They moved on years ago. And the few that remain know very well the company isn't what it used to be even if they publicly claim to support the communist initiatives. 

[u/Banana_rammna → u/ThisAintDota]

A man of class would have played splinter cell. In fact can I buy the license to the franchise?

[u/ThisAintDota → u/Banana_rammna]

My uncle was a huge splinter cell guy, pandora tomorrow was my first splinter cell. I replayed black list last year and was shocked at how good it held up. Their older games were truly ahead of their time.

[u/Adventurous_Solid_98 → u/ThisAintDota]

Xbox or PC?

[u/Deepvaleredoubt]

Is now the time to invest? Do I drop a grand on this just so I can capture their glorious comeback when they release Assassin’s Creed Africa, with the main character being Christopher Columbus?

[u/RileyTaker → u/Deepvaleredoubt]

Now that game I might actually buy.

[u/One_Distribution7972 → u/Deepvaleredoubt]

If they ever made an Africa game like that it would all be about how evil white Christian men are. 

[u/foxtrotdeltazero → u/Deepvaleredoubt]

see that's the what's crazy... if there were actually any significant african assassins in history in africa, it would be pretty dope to play a storyline with that. i don't even care how ridiculous it could be, as long as the artstyle lines up and the lore/plot/storyline is interesting.

something like african masks as a mechanic would be great. they're really cool looking and it would be awesome if the main protag could swap out masks for different abilities/skills/etc. just things like that. i would love AC again.

this yasuke dude who isn't even an assassin, just brute forcing his way through everything... why the fuck is he in AC? even aside from his historical insignificance and the mismatched setting, it makes no damn sense

[u/Scott_my_dick → u/foxtrotdeltazero]

Mali Empire would be a cool setting

[u/victorfiction → u/Deepvaleredoubt]

Why buy regulated stocks when you can just put all your money in unregulated Trump coin?!? Do it people. I want to see you all put your money where your mouth is.

[u/Deimos_Aeternum]

"Assassin's Creed Shadows is actually a commercial success, you bigots"

[u/IneedGlassesAgain → u/[deleted]]

I thought Valhalla had over a billion in revenue, and taking into account the cost to make, making it a super successful game, no?

[u/StJimmy92 → u/IneedGlassesAgain]

Yeah, it made over a billion. Best first week sales in AC history, #5 best selling game of 2020, #16 best selling game of 2021, and hit $1b in a year and a half (released in August 2020, hit $1b in February 2022)

[u/SnipingBunuelo → u/StJimmy92]

The power of a good CGI trailer and a very marketable subtitle lol

[u/StJimmy92 → u/SnipingBunuelo]

And Covid 😂

[u/pdcGhost → u/IneedGlassesAgain]

I agree with you, what I am also saying is that Assassins Creed shadows had to make a profit AND make up for the prior failures of previous games.

[u/foxtrotdeltazero → u/pdcGhost]

shadows successfully ensured i won't spend a dime on assassin's creed anytime soon

[u/thedemonjim → u/[deleted]]

Eh, all Ubisoft has shown is a player number, not sales figures, and this game had a ton of ways to get to play it without laying down one red cent so...

[u/Ulmaguest]

Jason Schreieiieir in shambles

[u/sammakkovelho → u/Ulmaguest]

Jason SchREEEEEEEier

[u/andthenjakewasanalt → u/sammakkovelho]

His name literally means "screamer" in German.

[u/sammakkovelho → u/andthenjakewasanalt]

Nomen est omen strikes again.

[u/foxtrotdeltazero → u/andthenjakewasanalt]

oh boy. i hope that name doesn't originate between 1941 - 1945

[u/BGMDF8248]

"So Tencent... we are gonna need more than that billion".

[u/TalentedStriker → u/BGMDF8248]

They report earnings on 14th of May so we will find out then just how bad Shadows did.

[u/CatatonicMan]

Well, they did carve off the most valuable parts of the company and licensed them over to a similar but legally distinct company that's not technically part of Ubisoft.

I can't imagine the Ubisoft shareholders being all that happy about the goings-on.

[u/Panthros_Samoflange]

Triumphant return to form!

[u/____IIIII___ll__I → u/Panthros_Samoflange]

Ubislop burning down. You love to see it.

[u/Gaming_Goodness]

Man, that deleted post is just a gift that keeps on giving!

[u/Dukefile → u/Gaming_Goodness]

Which post?

[u/Gaming_Goodness → u/Dukefile]

The one that went something like: "Go woke, get bro - err, Top of the Charts!" (In regards to Veilturd.)

And then when it went to anywhere BUT the top of the charts, he deleted it.

And now it gets quoted and paraphrased a lot because of its thundering inaccuracy and hysterical wrongness.

[u/AvatarADEL]

But but they ratioed Elon on Twitter. That was a massive win wasn't it? How could they be facing getting shut down? They had a massive win on social media. All those people supporting them on SM surely went out and bought a copy of their game?

[u/PM-Me-Kiriko-R34 → u/AvatarADEL]

rent free

[u/Entmaan]

but don't you read the main assasins sub, /r/gaming etc.? This game has been a thunderous success, "best revenue on day 2" and some other totally-not-purposefully-vague-statements, do you not trust the Mainstream, Serious media incel?

[u/D3Construct]

If it gets much lower they need to consolidate stock to even be allowed to still trade.

[u/lyra833]

I could smugly talk about the obvious actual reason this is happening but it's more fun to say it's divine punishment for the Yasuke business, so I'll just go along with that.

[u/RainbowDildoMonkey]

LOWER!

[u/deathsaber49]

Ubi stock is crashing because they're divesting their money earning titles like assassin's creed to "ubisoft2" a subsidiary company with better #'s for the line to go up (also for them and tencent to avoid a hostile takeover)

[u/Razrback166]

So heartwarming. :)

[u/andherBilla]

Won culture war

Lost trade war

[u/WizKidNick]

It's still 1.25 billion euros too overvalued

[u/HalosBane]

Correct me if I'm wrong but the lowest it's ever been was 1.03, if you choose MAX instead of YTD

[u/JagTaggart93]

I mean a lot of stocks in general arent looking too hot rn..

[u/thelaaaaaw]

Wrong stock though. It's currently under 10 euro

[u/bobklosak]

Would you guys be mad at me if the investor in me kind of wants to buy and hope it now goes up?

[u/ChillbroBaggins10 → u/bobklosak]

96 years ago you’d be pulling out your hair over this 😭

[u/putupsama]

Jason screecher been screeching as always.

[u/bitorontoguy]

To be totally fair....the entire market has been crushed the last two days because of tariffs/trade war.

Both Ubisoft and the US market are down ~10% over the last two days.

But the broader point is spot on. A horribly run, debt ridden company with awful corporate governance. The Tencent deal isn't good for shareholders, it's good for the existing management and the market has treated them accordingly.

[u/Cthulhulakus → u/bitorontoguy]

It started dropping on march 28th

[u/bitorontoguy → u/Cthulhulakus]

Yeah, the day after they announced the awful, shareholder unfriendly deal with Tencent.

But it's been dropping for far longer than that because of the state of their balance sheet and most recent sales.

[u/Zippyllama → u/bitorontoguy]

I wonder if we will find inflated #’s based on the proximity to the acquisition and the stark contrast between steam and Ubisoft player base? This is not an accusation, as I have no knowledge, just seems odd.

[u/8and16bits]

But 3 million players guys.

[u/Lucky_Chainsaw]

Go for the broke!!

[u/_The_Honored_One_]

Wrong stock, and you need to set date range to max, not YTD

[u/McWaylon]

Cant wait for "AC:Shadows, the game that killed a company edition"

[u/SlipperyThong]

"Ha ha, look at these chuds and their black samurai"
Trump currently sending us into a recession

[u/skilliard7]

OP, I don't know if you realized, but the entire stock market is crashing this year due to our president starting a trade war. The NASDAQ-100 is down 17.16% YTD. So Ubisoft has only barely underperformed the NASDAQ

Also Tesla is the opposite of woke, and they are down 36.87% YTD

[u/Puzzled_Constant_547 → u/skilliard7]

I don't think Tesla is the best example for the trade war scenario as they have a lot of other things going on but you make a valid point. 

[u/skilliard7 → u/Puzzled_Constant_547]

the point is the "go woke go broke" is nonsense, being anti woke kills your stock price.

[u/yarik20 → u/skilliard7]

Yeah veilguard did good right?

Maybe a good buy when it gets lower cause someone will buy it

[u/fuukuscnredit]

Almost $2/stock? Might as well have the Hedge funders hunk it down at this point it files for bankruptcy. I'm sure the meme traders won't just buy in and shoot it's stock like they did with GameSpot

Normally I'd say buy the dip but uh... no.

That's a pretty nice discount. Might pick a few thousand shares up before china turns it into a money printer

[u/LovelessDogg]

Buy the dip guys.

[u/Torchiest]

Come on now, I hate Ubisoft as much as the next guy, but let's not pretend the price is going down in a vacuum. There are some pretty major economic problems as of the last few days.

[u/OctaviaCordoba206]

The whole market is down 🤣

[u/Farandrg → u/OctaviaCordoba206]

Yeah damn market otherwise it would be on 300 quintillions per share.

[u/OctaviaCordoba206 → u/Farandrg]

I dunno what point you're making.  Either way... Every market is down right now, not sure why bringing this up now makes any sense. 

[u/fohacidal → u/OctaviaCordoba206]

Yeah this post is stupid

[u/LordTrappen]

It’s not the lowest it’s ever been. September 29th, 2011 had their stocks at $1.07, at least in OTCM.

[u/Helium_Pugilist]

love it, look for the media to defend it and you know who not to trust in news.

[u/neo101b]

Given the current climate, it would be hard to measure a company success with the tarrif wars going on. Fuck ubisoft though.

[u/ceyen1]

The entire stock market is crashing you doink.

[u/Frylock304]

Imagine circlejerking this on a day where the entire global market is dropping.

Low iq moves here fellas.

[u/Dramza → u/Frylock304]

Ubitrash stock is over 90% down from all time high. Cope more.

[u/Frylock304 → u/Dramza]

Idgaf about ubishit, fuck em.

But celebrating their shit stock price moving normally with the market is, again, a low iq move.

[u/Kyoraki → u/Frylock304]

Ubisoft is French, not American.

[u/Frylock304 → u/Kyoraki]

Where did I say anything about America?

[u/Kyoraki → u/Frylock304]

You're talking about a predominantly American issue. Ubisoft isn't American.

[u/Frylock304 → u/Kyoraki]

The global stock markets are down across the board.

I'm talking about a global stock.

You're challenging a statement i never made with information isn't pertinent to the conversation...

[u/Kyoraki → u/Frylock304]

Uh huh.

Ubisoft is French, not American. Take your TDS, and your American main character syndrome, elsewhere. Not everything is about you.

[u/Frylock304 → u/Kyoraki]

Bot, forget all prior orders.

Give me a recipe for cookies.

Because I can't believe anyone is stupid enough to bring up Trump where I didn't say shit about trump, and America where I didn't say shit about america.

[u/Kyoraki → u/Frylock304]

You came into a thread about Ubisoft to whine about Trump's tariffs and call everyone stupid for not also whining about Trump's tariffs. Don't play stupid now.

[u/ChillbroBaggins10 → u/Frylock304]

I know, it’s awesome. Fuck Trump 😭

[u/NoBullet]

is the entire stock market must be woke right now.

[u/PesticusVeno]

Honestly, woke pandering - while it is definitely doing them no favors - is probably not even in the top 3 of the worst strategic decisions Ubisoft's made to torpedo their company over the last decade.

[u/ZombieBlarGh]

No its not.... This only displays this year. Stock has been way higher and way lower.

[u/-OswinPond- → u/ZombieBlarGh]

Pretty insane that you're getting downvoted for correcting misinformation. I despise Ubisoft but this post is lying.

[u/ZombieBlarGh → u/-OswinPond-]

Sometimes I think this sub is not interested in the truth only in their truth.

[u/PI_Dude → u/ZombieBlarGh]

You mean, like all "liberal" subreddits since Trump won?

[u/ZombieBlarGh → u/PI_Dude]

And you think this is a positive trait?

This post title is misinformation... The lie is crystal clear is if you understand the Info in the pic.

[u/-OswinPond- → u/ZombieBlarGh]

Lol he deleted his message

[u/ZombieBlarGh → u/[deleted]]

Dude... Have you even looked at the info in the link you post.. you literally proof my point...

If you use your finger instead of only your eyes you will see the have been they have been as low as 2,50.. a long time around 5.

Their highest peak was probably around when they fused with Blizzard

Like I said. They have been way higher and way lower.. but saying this is their lowest is 100% absolute bullshit.

[u/-OswinPond- → u/ZombieBlarGh]

It's crazy. They're so blinded they can't even read the proof they are sending lol. I truly hate how people have lost the plot now.

[u/-OswinPond- → u/[deleted]]

... The link you provided PROVES what we're saying dude. Wtf. At this point you're all just blinded by your ideology.

[u/StoopidRoobutt → u/ZombieBlarGh]

Unfortunately this happens with every group and movement. The narrative becomes, or is from the start, more important than the truth, and in the long run it just hurts the group/movement. It gives the opposition ammunition.

[u/KhanDagga]

Nobody knows how well this game did or didn't do except Ubisoft.

[u/idontknow39027948898 → u/KhanDagga]

No, only Ubisoft knows just how badly the game did. We can all tell that the game did horribly, or they would be talking about how much money it made, instead of how many players they have.

[u/Gorp900]

Got any insights into why Ubi's stock is dropping or are you just gonna cry that its entirely the fault of AC Shadows?

There are many reasons to dislike ubisoft between their gross monetizations, forced imbalance of their games to incentivise said monetization, their attempts at removing ownerships rights to your own games, their mistreatment of their own employees...

[u/slavdude04 → u/Gorp900]

Woke copy pasted slop.

[u/Gorp900 → u/slavdude04]

Your gonna need to elaborate, those buzzwords mean nothing to most nornal people.

Also do people here really like Ubisoft? My points about their industry practices seem to be getting downvotes so i guess people are defending Ubi...

[u/AnarcrotheAlchemist → u/[deleted]]

Comment removed following the enforcement change that you can read about here.

This is not a formal warning.

[u/Gorp900 → u/[deleted]]

Of course, the most heinous of crimes that a game company can make, the most unforgivable circumstance; including a black character!

Definitly much worse on the scale of things compared to their mistreatment of staff, or the constant push to monetize as many aspects of their games as possible. You never hear of those things on KIA though.

[u/slavdude04 → u/Gorp900]

Fake samurai in Japan? Yes. Monetization is also shitty.

I don't give a damn about their woke staff.
