Ubisoft should feel a sense of pride and accomplishment for 1. Stealing the title of worst game publisher and 2. Stealing the title of most evil quote from EA.
Man, if the new Assassin's Creed isn't a banger Ubisoft is cooked. They've had nothing but flops for the past 4 years or so. Even the newer Far Cry games kinda flopped.
5 was cool but I think I got whiplash from how hard the ludo narrative dissonance hit me. At this point I don't even think they realize why FC3 was so well received (which a snarky french games journalist was already joking about when it came out)
It's odd to realise other people can also be gamers and I may not even be aware of the games they play, can't even remember the last ubisoft or EA game I bought. Maybe for EA it might be battle for middle earth. Do they make battlefield? Think I got 3 in a humble bundle and some other games.
NFTs in game. Said they had made the first AAAA game. Then the CEO said gamers have to get used to not owning games, which pissed a lot of people off and was an incredibly dumb thing to say. Ubisoft seems to be very much out of touch with gamers.
They also had their most recent assassins creed game have a choice between a black man and an Asian woman as the main character, so some Gamers™ are upset about that I guess.
