Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
But but... @Gaiff is not happy. How do we spin this to cheer him up?
With the promise there will be many more AC games in the years to come.

Why can't they just say "sold copies"?
Your personal chart ? Cause it's still top 3 of the best sellin titles in NA this year to datedidn't rank on charts except maybe first week.
Now question is, if mirage had same amount of players in same amout of time, and had estimated 250m usd revenue(not profit, revenue), AC:S has probably somewhat similar one too, maybe even worse since more ppl use subs nowadays than 1,5 year ago so compared to AC:M from the same amount of 5m players we get less sold copies/more subs(and ofc 1sub is worth way less than sold copy).
But lets be generous and assume AC:S made that 250m usd revenue by now, how does it look vs game's budget? How expensive is mainline AC entry in 2025? 2x as much as mirage, maybe 3x? Which means game is definitively in the red, aka big flop, even after full 4 months of sales.
desecrate Japanese culture
nois a lesbian, right
Assassins creed japan could have been absolutely amazing, but they CHOSE to desecrate Japanese culture by forcing dei and complete nonsense into it, even the female protagonist is a lesbian, right? It's certainly made sure I voted with my wallet on this one, at best I might dirty my hard drive with it if Amazon or epic ever give it away, but it's not a small game so probably not even then
Pretty much reflected that when you look at the Steam CCU. Shadow's weekend-to-weekend retention was very poor in comparison to Odyssey which had a similar peak CCU.5 million players my ass when the game is on ubisoft + which is like what ? 10$ a month or something ?
when a company doesn't provide how many copies they actually sold, it means they sold way less and trying to spin shit up. The whole point of this tweet is a marketing revival that hey guys our game exist come see how awesome this game is. because up to me seeing this, I forgot the game even existed.
Ofc, but when ppl play it on a sub its still same revenue, and now subs make bigger %age of players total, but again, i got 0 problem with assuming same revenue as mirage, 250m usd, hell make it 300m usd revenue, thats still very far from game turning profit.One thing you are forgetting is that Mirage had a $50 RRP while Shadows was $70.
These Ass Creed games aren't really one and done like those PS3 games were.
Ubisoft's going to be releasing content for the next two years along with added MTX and even after the next game is released, they're likely going to keep releasing content for this peridodically though their broader Infinity project. That's how Valhalla ended up getting more than than previous AC games, that's how this game's trajectory will go.
AC is basically single player live service atp and it's partly why the main plot of shadows feels unfinished (because its made with the idea of ongoing content rather than a proper ending).
As I have said, this is a live service game, ghosts of yotei less so.What's the over/under on Ghost of Yotei outselling AC Shadows
Ubi+Is it on a sub service?
so u didnt play the game so just shut the fuck upInteresting that I learnt from this thread and going to review Ubisoft + that in the uk if you subscribe to Ubisoft+ you can change your mind/cancel within 14 days and when you do it the cancellation will be immediate and you will be refunded depending on the amount of time remaining on the months subscription. So £14.99 a month.
Join, download, play..
How long to complete has the main story as 34 hours
So let's be slow and say you wanted it done and dusted and put in 4-5 hours a day, so you have the game done and dusted in the first 7 days
So you cancel your subscription and get 3/4 weeks refund
Total cost to play assassins creed shadows? £3.75
and despite now learning that, I have zero desire to even pay that £3.75 because of the choices made in the development of this trash. Assassins creed japan could have been absolutely amazing, but they CHOSE to desecrate Japanese culture by forcing dei and complete nonsense into it, even the female protagonist is a lesbian, right? It's certainly made sure I voted with my wallet on this one, at best I might dirty my hard drive with it if Amazon or epic ever give it away, but it's not a small game so probably not even then
Eh, huge debate over thisAliena Analytics (who I think are fairly accurate)
The Last Assassins Creed Game i enjoyed was Unity after that it went downhill sadly
Symantics, 8 total romance options for her, 4 gay 4 straight.. that's "diverse"…. seems it's optional, a bit like real life lesbians I guess (kidding on that one)
This isn't "era" go cry over there if you don't like my complaint about Ubisoft inserting agendas and ideologies into games where it really did not benefit the game or the seriesso u didnt play the game so just shut the fuck up
