How can the onion compete with this?
Well as long as the executives get bonuses and the 7-layer middle management cake remains intact. That’s the talent and skill that really matter at a video game company, right?
In Capitalism, the product is not the goal. Maximizing profits is the only thing that matters. In End-Game Capitalism, things start getting weird sometimes.
I’m shocked about this too but I think it’s hubris + the size of the market. Lots of dollars to be made, and so you get these slimy weasels with bland faces coming in, never having loved a game in their life, and coming to the conclusion: Oh gamers just stare at a screen with colorful things? Hey we could just make it a shop front, where you can buy colors in the colorful screen but pay us real money.
Ubisoft’s fuck ups formed the indie studio that gave us expedition 33, so keep it up boys.
How long does it take to complete Expedition 33? I don’t have much time as I used to with games but I think I will play it, since I miss playing some good French-made games.
I spent 95 hours over a few months, did all but one super late game boss. I also went back and played the early game again to see if I missed anything early on. There’s a lot of optional content not necessary to the story but adds a bunch of depth. Kinda felt like final fantasy 10 and collecting the ultima weapons to take on end game bosses.
I think you can rush through the game in 15-30 hours and get most of the story. I’m not a completionist in any way but getting most of the dungeons and upgrades and beating some hidden bosses took me about 60 hours. I also didn’t feel the run time at all; The fighting system can be a lot of fun and there is always an interesting dungeon mechanic or twist on an old boss around the corner.
That sounds like a problem for a future quarterly report.
But there is still a management bonus for this quarter - right?
Well well well. If it isn’t the consequences of my own actions…
Me sowing: fuck yeah, this is awesome
Me reaping: aw fuck . . .
After subtracting 1 from 1 the difference being 0 is a big danger
They just stuck a stick in their own bicycle wheel spokes and are blaming others when they crash.
Lmao Ubisoft is unbelievably fucked. I see full shutdown or sale within 2 years.
Ubisoft still has talent or skill?
well they have a lack of- :)
CEO states: “I held the pistol, but for some reason I aimed it directly at my foot.”
I mean sure, but…
What kind of ‘key talents and skills’ are we talking about?
The ability to make the same game, 20 times?
Those ‘talents’ and ‘skills’?
The ability to make the same game 20 times and get people to buy it all 20 times.
Ah, so they’re losing marketing talent.
Fuck Ubisoft management and shareholders. I hope all the passionate devs leave and find jobs elsewhere.
Game studios are like music bands and firing artists is like Linkin Park or Nirvana losing a vocalist
They don’t mean the worker bees with “talent”. But the money makers.
they arnt in danger before? they tried to up thier image with a propaganda show on apple tv
