    Damn, it’s down 45% over the last year as well. They seem to have released a few flops recently; and their notable IPs kinda just aren’t exciting anymore.

        They shut off the Crew 2 and even planned on deleting the game from people’s libraries. They’ve added micro transactions to (I think) every single Ubisoft game in the last decade. They were pro NFTs and wanted it rolled out to games. Their Ubisoft launcher. Toxic and sexist environment.

        Every few years, they make a better Assassins Creed or Far Cry that moves the open-world genre forward. But that’s the only positive thing I can say.

          Really enjoyed Farcry 5 but Farcry 6 was ok gameplay wise but the story was really underwhelming especially with the amazing talent they got in Giancarlo Esposito.

          The real problem with Ubisoft games is that they are all 95% reskins. If you’ve played one farcry game you’ve played most of every farcry game, same with assassins creed, etc.

          Now those games often end up having relatively fun mechanics so when another farcry comes out I’ll still play it because it’s a fun game to me.

          I do wonder how much they are just hitting a saturation point where the same couple games reskinned over and over are just underwhelming

      Wait till Assassin’s Creed Shadows flops miserably. Ubisoft is a couple of € billions in debt.

      I only hope they release Anno 117 and new HoM&M before they fail completely.
