Let's be generics. 5M at full price to break even.This game probably has to sell 5 million copies just to be profitable, wouldn't celebrate so early, lol. People celebrating 2 million players (not even 2 million sales) is funny.
I would imagine 5 million at full price yeah. The total cost to make the game is probably probably around $300 million including marketing.Let's be generics. 5M at full price to break even.
You think I'm talking about the 2 million players? Lol the game will be one of the biggest games of the year until GTAVI & the next Call Of Duty comes out.This game probably has to sell 5 million copies just to be profitable, wouldn't celebrate so early, lol.

Playing the game. I don't want ubisoft to ho away.
I don't think there's many people really pushing the envelope on tech to this level. Especially on PC. Ubi have always supported pc well.
I legit haven't seen a single bit of woke crap and I'm 7 hours in. Games legit good, imo. I've been playing games for 35 years and I don't need someone to tell me I'm wrong about gameplay because a games got a black person in it.
I hope the discourse is ending because I can't deal with this for ghosts of yotei etc.
Doubt it. AC doesn't have the pull it once did. They should have sold at least 3 million by now, instead they're quoting "2 million players", lol.You think I'm talking about the 2 million players? Lol the game will be one of the biggest games of the year until GTAVI & the next Call Of Duty comes out.
See you next year in the ubislop bankruptcy thread lolYes it will lol see you next month in the sales thread lol
yes, its time we fought back.I dont engage in all that but I notice the trends.
Seems like the silent crowd "normies" are voicing their disdain of the "anti-woke" brigade and calling it retarded.
I think you are actually somewhat right for top tier quality games. I think that resistance to woke damage rapidly decreases however as the quality of the game comes down.The reality of "culture wars" is they never impacted game sales. People buy games they think will be good and don't buy games they think won't. It could be the most pandering insufferable game ever, but if the gameplay is amazing and it's getting great scores it will sell really well.
Really wonder what the metrics for success are here for Ubisoft.
This is what AC2 did 16 years ago.
"According to pre-official sales estimates, Ubisoft announced that Assassin's Creed II sold 1.6 million copies worldwide during its first week of sale, representing a 32 percent increase over the first week retail performance of the original Assassin's Creed. As of May 2010, the game has sold 9 million copies."
9 million copies in 6 months
On probably a budget 1/3rd what AC Shadows has.
That's encouraging to hear.Playing the game. I don't want ubisoft to ho away.

Well said.As a centerist normie, I don't care to bitch about woke vs anti-woke or follow these threads. But the obeseeion with tokenism over the last few years has pushed me away from a lot of media in general. As soon as I feel it, I just ignore movies/shows/games that have it. Characters and storylines that don't feel genuine really annoy me.
I didn't bitch about Veilguard, and I didn't buy it. I'm not bitching about Shadows, and I'm not buying it. I'm not going to bitch about Intergalactic either. They're just making it easy for me to spot the games I can ignore.
What will that have to do with this game?See you next year in the ubislop bankruptcy thread lol
Agreed, even though I consider myself anti-woke. I've already spotted a few bad actors who will call a game woke for having a gay character in it, no matter the context, narrative, writing, and campaign setting.It will probably get dumber for a bit from the anti-woke side as the tides shift in their favor, the term "woke" gets eroded more in meaning like any big term used regularly on the internet, and more people join it with different thresholds of what they consider bad content is.
In that case you should get AC Shadows, it's pretty good.I won't buy any Western DEI BlackRock games.
Yeah, it's inevitability going to happen, but the bright side is it's still less crap than woke was in the late 2010s when they got their way.Agreed, even though I consider myself anti-woke.

Or the attempt to go the other way and christianopuritinize sexy content via Goonergate.
Both extremes suck. Don't preach, have good-looking characters and don't attack traditional human values. And you're good.
They made the samurai gay and black and you think people who noticed are the ones pushing the culture war.

That there was an activist using the weapon of cancel culture to get what they want. And what the likes of Grummz and others anti-woke, anti-DEI activist were doing was exacly the same thing
Did you miss that the Japanese government condemned the game for being disrespectful?
Hell, even something like rise of the ronin looked better to play off of trailers (and knowing the type of gameplay team ninja has
You cannot change the mind of people like this guy, theres no winning engaging in a conversation at all even if you try to make senseYou're in way too deep with this nonsense. The Last of Us as a franchise is bigger than it's ever been. It's the most popular series on HBO right now. And if you think Spider-Man 3 sales are going to bomb you're fucking nuts lol.
People care about whether a game is good or not. 99% of customers have absolutely no idea whether or not a game is considered "woke" or not.
Again, this terminally online bullshit is causing mass brainrot. Ya'll are completely out of touch with reality.
dude, this game successfully managed to insult a whole country - where it actually takes place...Or will we still have to deal with all the non gameplay related drama for years to come whenever new games are released?

Woke means game isnt good, for many of us who dont live in feminist bubble the more woke game is, the more artroucious it gets, actually, literally fun playing that game is reduced by substantial margins coz of woke elements/pushiing agenda.You're in way too deep with this nonsense. The Last of Us as a franchise is bigger than it's ever been. It's the most popular series on HBO right now. And if you think Spider-Man 3 sales are going to bomb you're fucking nuts lol.
