The skull and bones failure isn't surprising, Ubisoft told gamers to get used to not owning games, and it seems gamers are very comfortable with the idea of not owning Ubisoft games.

Dang Concord just made this video super outdated lol

[MercenaryTau]

I still find it funny that WB saw what happened to Marvel's Avengers and escalated their commitment to live service multiple times during development.

Welp, we now have a new entry into the list.

Here’s what gets me about suicide squad, the gaming community made it clear:”if this is rocksteady Batman, don’t make it live services, we won’t buy it.” They double down and It cost em 😂😂

0:02 Dang it, I wanted to watch the rest of the video, but I actually had heard that before.

Happy Father’s Day to the Father’s out there!

All they had to do with Marvel's Avengers was to make it a single player campaign and it would have been one of the best selling games of all time.

$300m in 2005 is an absolutely insane amount of money to loose.

Final Fantasy Spirits Within actually saw this one in the theaters...but the most memorable thing was what I heard a few rows behind me was a kid saying 'Chocobo, I wanna see a chocobo.'

I honestly don't know why Ubisoft didn't cancel Skull and Bones, It would have been more beneficial to remake AC Blackflag

As for Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, I was in Hawaii when this thing was being put together and put out. One of my Japanese besties was working at Square at that time, and they had offices in Hawaii. The Square Hawaii team apparently had a big hand in this production. I remember him whipping out merch when we'd meet people, talking about the realistic depiction of eyes and what-not from the characters of the film. After its failure at the box-office, Square Hawaii pretty much ceased to exist. Was really sad about that, because I was able to rub elbows with the lead of Square Hawaii on several nights out on the town. After Square quit Hawaii I lost a lot of drinking buddies when they went back to Japan. Sad times.

It's honestly baffling that companies keep leaning on the Live Service trend, i hate it, there are some games that do it well, Helldivers 2 and Beat Saber but i don't want it in my games

[Laughy-Flaaffy]

It’s kinda baffling to see companies struggle to understand what gamers want. You would think with social media platforms and the ability to host polls online, companies would know what their target audience would want more now than ever before. But they seem to make the worst decisions to push players away.

[Ellievibes]

That Final Fantasy film’s DVD bits gave me life back in the day. The bloopers and the Thriller parody was everything! 🔥

[Mr.Nantais]

Not enough people talk about how Kingdom of Amular almost bankrupt an entire state

[Dashius]

"Don't turn Scooby-Doo into a live service game" lmao 😆

[Christopher_S]

I was a closed beta tester for APB. All of us beta testers provided so much feedback, but none of it was listened to.

[TihetrisWeathersby]

EA as a company should have made this list

[RobsRemixes]

Every single time I watch Immortals of Aveum gameplay I get a headache. Those flashes and color blur look truly horrendous.
