Ubisoft CEO Gaslights Investors over Assassin’s Creed Shadows delay!

Following the disastrous release of Star Wars outlaws, things are bad for videogame developers Ubisoft, and with the recent delay of Assassins Creed Shadows, things are about to get a whole lot worse – so bad in fact, that the CEO of the company is begging the investors to please believe him when he says Ubisoft is all about entertaining gamers, and not at all about agenda. But will anyone believe that?

With great wokeness comes great brokeness. Class.

Making a longer fuse doesn't stop a bomb.

Ubisoft - Spends thousands on "Critics", "Influencers" and "Journalists". Sending them on expense covered trips to Disney with stipulation of doing toxic positivity.
Then they go to their shareholders saying "Actually players love our games, look at this 76 Metacritic score!" citing "Critic" scores they padded up instead of paying customers.

Removing merit based hiring over color of skin and gender identity, who thought that would sail well?

[jasonmckenzie]

Based on the recent admission by the Sweet Baby Inc They/Them weirdo about their aim to "burn down the gaming industry", I believe that this is a controlled demolition of Ubisoft.

Ubisoft if you weren't political you wouldn't have chosen Yasuke as a main character, all previous AC protagonists are completely fictional, also we were given a choice of character selection in AC Odyssey between Kassandra and Alexios, meaning either could be the final hero of the game.

But in AC Valhalla you're canon choice was Kassandra despite the choice.

The angle appears to be releasing the game in a crowded month so they can blame its poor sales on that instead of the actual quality of the game. They're trying to pull a fast one so the shareholders don't revolt, but they see right through it.

[steelshanks]

Moved Shadows to February... Black History Month in America... ... ... Nothing... Nothing shady there eh? Wow...

[MadsThorlund]

All these modern companies are crumbling so fast because they're rotten all the way to the core. It's the CEO, the top executives, the managers, the devs and seemingly everyone in between.

[jadenkorr]

I’m sure it’s pure coincidence that the delayed release coincides with a certain history month.

[crazyman]

They need more time to polish the turd—I mean, title. 😵‍💫

[wraithwraith]

Ubisoft are the architects of their own demise. This has been in the works for years. Outlaws just so happens to be the straw that broke the camel's back. Remember Skull n' Bones? Xdefiant? Rainbow Six Extraction? They were about to turn Ghost Recon into a battle royal until they saw the light and canceled it. At one point, Ubisoft narrowly avoided a hostile takeover years back. Sheer incompetence from them.

[tribuneofmercy]

The shareholders should sue the board.

If you could play as a man (any race) in SW Outlaws I would've bought it. If you could play as a Japanese man in AC Shadows I would've bought it. But I said no thanks to ma'am solo and afro samurai.

Taken from the Bob Iger How to Gaslight shareholders book...

Devs were replaced by accountants and execs. Real gamers replaced by quick-insta-fame-fake-gurus. By people who, back in the day, called us 'losers' cuz we were gamers or loved Anime. I recently made a John Wick style action montage using Splinter Cell Blacklist stylish takedowns. Looks badass with music I chose. If only we got a proper John Wick game that way, Ubisoft could license, too late now...

[leemastro]

Great Wokeness, Great Brokeness. Profound truth.

[tomhanks]

Ubislop games are boring, unimaginative and poorly made that only try to waste your time while trying to squeeze every last cent out of you. In addition to this, most of their mass produced garbage are almost identical with each other. Why would i spend time and money to play an awful experience made by ppl who virtue signal while simultaneously hating their own audiences? 🤔

[brianmcguinness]

Note that they said "inspired by feudal Japan" rather than "set in feudal Japan." The latter is what people really want, and what Ubisoft is stubbornly determined not to provide.
