It's really a sad seeing Ubisoft going from a trendsetter up until Far Cry 3, to being a failed trend chaser.

Why don't they just start using ai to generate games? Its cheaper and no one will notice.
They're instead letting an AI generate their stock price. It is a number now.
Ubisoft will have to get used to people not owning their games.
Womp womp
“Tanked”
Checks graph
19% is a hit but I wouldn’t call it tanked.
Some stocks are just volatile. Here is the full history:
A drop this severe is tanking. Even with a stock history like the one from Ubisoft.
Whenever I see social media say something dropped/jumped, I do the same thing as you - I visit the portfolio and take a birds eye view.
I still think about the one time redditors celebrated a company's stock dropping by 90% over the last day.
But what the picture left out was how the company was climbing by 1000% in a week before dropping.
did ubisoft make face masks or something wtf happened in 2020
WTF you think happened in 2020? No one could leave their house, so video game went gang busters.
I worked at a video game retailer then, and it was the busiest we've ever been.
I think people were just bored out of their minds
AAAA stock
They should be comfortable with people not owning their stocks
👏👏👏
You can make any graph look bad if you control the axis bounds weirdly like this.
Not that I have good things to say about ubisoft, but at a glance one would assume their stock value plummeted to zero, which is not the case.
This was also my initial take but look at these graphs with the Y axis starting from 0
Stock lost 67% value in the last year alone, and lost 85% in the past 5 years. Looks pretty dire to me. I would say this is undervalued but I have no confidence in the ubi leadership to turn it around.
Might be that the CEO and upper management are dumb fucks running the company to the ground.
No more innovation, just microtransactions in shitty games, and the same old rehashed concepts.
I saw an anecdote from someone who used to work there and they said their infrastructure and resources were outdated as hell. Basically zero support or investment from leadership. Those corpos are intentionally just trying to milk them and the customers dry before total collapse or a buyout.

I hate graphs that don't start the Y axis at zero.
That said, fuck ubisoft.

I am curious if the games community has anything positive to say about major publishers at this point.
It’s fun to laugh at one failure, and it’s nice we still get occasional great indie hits. But when most major publishers fail to turn out anything of interest, and even Sony is kind of reaching vanishing expectations amid remasters of remasters, it becomes hard to even suggest what to buy an unknowledgeable kid for Christmas.
I'd say I'm happy that AAA companies are reaping what they sow from listening to their dumbass stakeholders.

I appreciate them for the effort they put into bankrupting companies that make AAA corpo slop. Ubisoft could not have stopped Ubisoft without the help of Ubisoft. If were lucky EA could hop on board and bankrupt EA by acting like EA.

Has something in particular been happening lately? I feel like Ubisoft has sucked for quite a while, but their stock price was fine until relatively recently, right?
If games sucking was the same thing as games being unprofitable gaming would be in better shape.
It's been tanking for a lot longer than that
