I usually don’t comment but hell no I do not like to see horizon in the same sentence as Ubisoft smh it’s sad how low Ubisoft has became

This article makes no sense

First, stop charging for in-game materials and inflating the upgrade time cost. Seriously annoying.

zero dawn open world sucks, there is nothing to discover at all. All weapons are purchasable in the shops and none of the pieces are difficult to get in order to craft. Hoping so much forbidden west gives purpose to the open world

Ubi will be going mobile and F2P with some live service SP experiences thrown in there. They will only get worse not better.

Ubisoft can never make a game like Horizon because it contradicts it's revenue model.

Ubisoft benchmark should be 2000's Ubisoft, games like rainbow six Rogue spear, prince of Persia trilogy, the first iterations of ghost recon, the splinter cell first 3 games, etcetc, they should learn within themselves. The problem with ubisoft imo was that at some point they wanted to be like Activision, and make yearly franchises and cash cows but it failed awfully , now the only thing they have is a stupid mechanic that make all their games feel the same with different skins and assets.

Now call of duty is out of gamespass, which is literally WHY they bought the company. To draw people to the subscription. They realized they missed a boatload of money and that wasn’t sustainable. Now you pay for it like you would have if they never bought the company… so why buy the company? Mind you those billions still need to be paid back. Yeah it gives you a chance to say we make the biggest FPS… but the internal conversations must be brutal at high level on topics that really matter. Like revenue. Profitability. And ROI for the shopping spree.

Is this like the 10th quarter in a row they're down 33% on hardware how is that even mathematically possible. You would think their mediocrity would Plateau
