Ubisoft has died - IP's being transitioned to Private Equity or Tencent Private takeover.

"DEI" complaints aside, they kept making the same blunders

1) Overpriced and "overhyping" their games, but releasing with heavy bugs
2) Predatory monetization even in single player games. The latest Assassins Creed is a prime example of this - besides cosmetic crap, you can RMT for ingame money/materials and even unlocking the world map.
3) Stale formulas that don't take risks or "trend chasing" that lands after the trend is worn out

You're such a fucking NPC that you can't even type DEI without putting it in quotes.

Assassin's Creed - Set in the Levant, has a Levantine protagonist
Assassin's Creed 2 - Set in Italy, has an Italian protagonist
Assassin's Creed 3 - Set in Colonial America, has an indigenous American protagonist
Assassin's Creed 4 - Set in the Caribbean during the Golden Age of Piracy, has a Welsh protagonist
Assassin's Creed Rogue - Set in both Europe and the New World, has an Irish-American protagonist
Assassin's Creed Unity - Set in France, has a French protagonist
Assassin's Creed Syndicate - Set in London, has English protagonists
Assassin's Creed Origins - Set in Egypt, has Egyptian protagonist
Assassin's Creed Odyssey - Set in Greece, has Greek protagonists
Assassin's Creed Valhalla - Set in England during the Viking invasion, has Norse protagonist

How exactly does setting a chimp as the protagonist of a game set in Japan fit that pattern?

Clearly they saw the success of Wukong and thought they could also make a monkey game.

WTF is that? Sounds made up. The fact that you'd type it too is pretty gay.

Indigenous is the word that annoys me the least, I'm sure as shit not gonna call em native.

I had a habit of calling them Indigent Americans but too many people didn't get the joke so I gave up on it.

It's funny, from what I have read, a lot of first men seem to think all the white men labels are all equally "insulting" and would rather be called by their tribe (nation) name, if you want to look it up/ask, or "first nation" people. So might as well just use Indian instead of native or indigenous.

Indian works and if you need to clarify say dot or feather.

idgaf what those vermin find insulting or would prefer to be called, I just use the term indigenous because it's clear and unambiguous. Indian just sounds stupid to me, especially if I have to clarify whether or not I mean street-shitter when I say it.

Good, figured they would have a selloff of their intellectual property before they truly go bust.

They suck so bad it gives me some hope to see their IP with someone else.

I honestly think the big push for incentivizing DEI has been a part of some grand conspiracy for the biggest entitles consolidating industries. Like they know DEI and ESG sucks and that all this woke shit being forced aggressively is only destroying these brands in the long run but that's their goal. Like these big investment firms and behemoths like Tencent had the ultimate goal of acquiring these brands all along, but they were smart enough to know they could use their big investment capital to incentivize the people running the brands and owning the IP they want to sell out and ruin their value for a short term cashout. I mean the executives couldn't care less as they're getting a golden parachute no matter what and raking in the investment money all along, and most of them plan on jumping ship as soon as the company has been bled dry anyways. Normally the investors would hold them accountable for such recklessness but if the majority investors are the people who wanted them to be devalued in the first place that's never going to get anywhere.

Basically it's much cheaper for them to buyoff the people at the top of the company and just acquire what they really want for a small fraction of what it could have been worth had they done nothing. Being able to pass all this off as some virtue signaling scam is just the icing on the cake that made it easy.

Indigenous is not the preferred nomenclature. Casino American, please.

Ironic coming from you

Since antiDEIWOKE.exe activated on you and you ignored the rest of my post, that particular game would have still landed with a wet fat when you consider all the other issues with it.

It's funny how often I will find people trying to comment like this so they can completely ignore the elephant in the room.

Ironic coming from you, since you whine about me "ignoring your post" while ignoring my post.

Even if "return to form" was an accurate way to describe this game and not just a phrase that paid off shills use in their reviews, it would still have a chimp faggot main character and that's what has driven all the controversy. If anybody was actually put off by stale recycled gameplay and predatory monetization then Call of Duty wouldn't be on their 15th or however the fuck many games and still going strong.

You kill a thousand ronin but suck ONE dick...
