"You can create a Golden Joystick nominated Indie game that has 9/10 on IGN and Steam reviews, wins a BAFTA for best British Game, is profitable, and the megacorps will still shut you down 💔"
The tweets rightly point out that Zelnick, who received more than double his standard financial compensation last year, going from $16 million to $42 million, could have quite literally kept both studios afloat with the money he earned from that year alone.
Yes, Ubisoft's divisive pirate RPG Skull and Bones appears to be sailing on the tides of success, as Ubisoft prepares to launch Season 2.
If true, it goes to show that the negative press response was not reflecting reality. I personally thought omitting land traversal was a huge miss. But i also thought there was some things that were great about it. Lets see which story was true and which was made up (or worse, paid for)
No data just pr talk. The same site has an article talking about how the price of the game was slashed quickly post release, these sites treat us like fools lol
They're right. There is no argument either. The game is a turd and Ubisoft is doubling down on that turd. It's all fancy PR talk with no actual substance. I don't know what "argument" you're looking for. I read the article. It sounds like Ubisoft asked for a redo on their "AAAA" "game". Trash game and trash company.
Price decrease articles are typically made to make it seem like a gaming is flopping, they're often poorly researched and meaningless.
The article about the game thriving is also meaningless because it contains no data, it's basically corporate propaganda, even suicide squad is getting a season 2
In resume, not only this site plays both sides, it does it lazily and cynically because they don't care about quality, what they care about is clicks from us ( fools )
@ jb
🤣 all it says is thanksfor the support. It's not like they're saying hey it's better than what you've seen come buy it. Lol you guys will whine about anything
@ Friendly
Gotcha when you referenced the other articles was like... uh doesn't that make it non biased? Basically you prefer stats with these articles or some sort of metric. I'm tracking. All I can say is... not everything is an amazing read or comment on n4g, lol. Game on!
Skull and bones TReMENDoUS ReSPoNSe. Prove it gaming journalist !! Prove it
The Bridge Curse 2: The Extrication was incredibly scary, and would be considered a cinematic horror because of how well everything is done visually. There are many faults with it, but at least it's very scary.
Ghost of Tsushima has launched on PC with a long list of graphics options for you to tweak. Developed by Nixxes, it’s another well-optimized port integrating the latest upscaling and frame generation technologies from AMD, NVIDIA, and Intel. We took the port for a spin across several systems, and have compiled our performance optimization guide below.
Zelnick is such a two faced pos he has no idea and would probably hold a controller upside down
If they were so commercially viable then why would a publisher close them? That makes no sense.
Tom Bass should be fired as well
The gaming industry isn’t run by gamers. It’s run by selfish ignorant suits
sucks but business is business. its not just about being profitable. that's def the goal, but the goal is also to remain profitable. and if the forecasts suggest that the studios will cost more than the profits they will make into the future vs operating costs etc.... you're in a delicate spot. indie shops still cost money to run and the reliability of profits vs operating costs vs future sales are things we as the public just aren't privy to. The last studio I worked at made Titanic's visual effects, work, does 90% of the visual effects in marvel movies/shows, won tons of BAFTAs, CLIOs, Academy Awards and so on and still filed bankruptcy... twice. That's why I don't work there now. despite the successes, the forecasts weren't good.
it still sucks and I feel like they prob didn't need to do this but at the same time, we don't know their reasoning. I don't think corps are inherently evil, they just prioritize money over anything else - they may not care about ppl, but I don't think they are intentionally trying to screw ppl's lives up.. so if they are cutting costs, then they see something as a potential problem, and we as the public don't see the full story - of which there are always two sides.
