Ubisoft reports strong profits, doesn't fire 800 people

Despite good financial performance this quarter, Ubisoft is "striving to provide a fulfilling working environment" for its employees.

Munnkyman2659d ago

Battle royale with ships incoming

DafunkyRebel2658d ago (Edited 2658d ago )

Shizz I would play that

rawshack2659d ago

Good on unbisoft. If workers are happy they are more creative. It's a win win situation

Vegamyster2659d ago

PCGamer being a little savage, i like it lol.

LucasRuinedChildhood2659d ago

Most of the games media has been going easy on Activision so far because all they care about is access. It's disgusting.

Sciurus_vulgaris2659d ago

Activision probably didn’t make enough profits to easily fulfil Executive bonuses, so they laid off staff, simple as that.

OMGitzThatGuy2659d ago

They made enough, shareholders just assumed they would make more. So instead of blaming their actual product sales not growing, they blamed it on too many workers and the costs associated with them.

neutralgamer19922659d ago

Sooner or later growth stops and these big companies don't think that far ahead. Every game can't sell better than the last

2018 was a record financial year for them.

NeoGamer2322658d ago

Activision is a sinking ship. They continue on their current path and the will be like EA.

Seikro is really their only new IP. And they aren't doing much to totally reinvent their existing IPs. This last year was the first year I did not buy CoD on Day One. I did not miss a thing.

I would love to see Activision come out with a new Pitfall along the lines of Uncharted, Battlezone along the lines of World of Tanks, a new Asteroids remake, a real new Ghostbusters game, a modern River Raid game, a new Space Invaders, etc. But instead of that they are focused on selling to the lab rats that contually buy CoD, Skylanders, Spyro, etc.

Cikatriz_ESP2659d ago

Activision went from a company most people were either okay with or had no opinion on to garnering EA-esque levels of hatred in the span of a few months. That’s quite the feat.

KillZallthebeast2658d ago

bethesda and activision are really trying their hardest top topple ea

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing29d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit29d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing29d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9229d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
