Some Ubisoft developers feel like they've been here before and they're tired of it
Ubisoft has reportedly stopped sharing its game sales data, as confirmed by industry analyst Mat Piscatella.
Good. All this publicising of sales figures to legitimise or manipulate markets and opinions is just cancer. Just make your game and get over it. Leave the pretentious pricks to squabble over their own egos. This bs killed the industry. Get rid of all of it.
But they will be making statements to the exact same effect of legitimise or manipulate markets. Instead of publishing sales figures to accurately reflect how well a game is doing, it'll be smoke and mirrors like player engagements stats.
The creator of the Cyberpunk 2077 VR mod CD Projekt recently hit with a DMCA strike has paused his Patreon page and pulled access to all his mods after receiving another strike from a different publisher.
Excellent. Great to hear they're still raking it in tbh. CDPR and Hello Games have really shown how to do the redemption ark.
