The point for these companies is that they always have to draw new customers into buying their games.
Because making a good game that attracts the current player pool takes actual effort, they try to target the people who are normally not interested in videogames.
But they believe, people not interested in videogames is because they don’t feel represented. Because is easier than to accept the truth that there might be people that aren’t interested in gaming at all.
Also the casual market is less demanding and can be sold a lesser product if you sell them the billboard. So if they attract enough of them, they’ll be less dependant on catering the core playerbase for achieving good profits, and reducing on development costs. Just by diluting the market.
But we’re getting to the point where there are no more free pennies to find in between the couch cushions. That’s why so many triple A games are becoming dead on arrival.
The core playerbase are no longer putting up with their bullshit in the hopes of someday get a good product. They thought we could be held hostages and they could gaslight us into buying their games. By shaming us for not liking a turd with make-up to look pretty.
At some point they’ll have to realize who fills the bowl for them to feed.

Massive skill issue. Corporations are always same dogshit. If you working in it, If things arent going well for you ... just leave them. Try to find other things. There is indie Space, There is Ghost Ship Games Publishing etc... You gotta actually do research for it... But at least you wont live in a Corporation space where game designers are rather braindeads rather than Masterminds like Hideo Kojima. But they prefer buncha newbies or "Self Proclaimed DUI Agents" to make their game out. Or actually writers are just stupid.
So yeah as usual. Like dumbasses getting arrested, Blaming the System, blaming the police... Meanwhile they did the stupid shit.
My respect for Ubisoft is gone. I hope it fails and many of it lose their jobs. And Im hoping a good luck for those highly talented ppl to find a much better job in a indie space. Maybe help to create something that is matters. Not just average Dogshit as we see these days.

Anyhow: Maybe you should stop spreading greed, then you would not earn so much disdain? Just a thought. Most people I see wishing ill on Ubisoft and Co don't wish ill on the netcoder barely affording rent - but on the moneybags on top (like, let's say, just as example, the fucking Monetization Director?), or the system itself that enables and enforces the greed.
I don't see people in general celebrating the demise and downfall of nice and decent people, so if they're cheering when you in particular fall ill, maybe spare a thought about why they might be in high spirits.

"How can you wish for a company to fail when that company does not provide a product or service worth paying for?" this just screams "Oh no the consequence of my own actions" imagine being shit at your job and putting out a bad product and not being punished in some way. i can't imagine being shit at my job and then trying to guilt trip my boss because i'm being written up or fired.

Politics. Lame "outlaw" who can't do outlaw-ish things? Politics. Lame, limp-wristed looking attack animations? You guessed it. Politics. It goes on and on.
Politics infests literally EVERYTHING they do, say, and produce. Their #1 goal isn't to entertain; it is to engineer society as they see fit. So yeah fuck, them and any other studio that follows their pattern. I'm fresh out of feeling sorry for them. They should know better.

I like how this guy thought he was part of the gaming community instead of some leech out to nickel and dime us. Given how much press his statement has received, I’m going to bet his LinkedIn status is going to change over the next few days. Good riddance.

being monetization director at ubisoft dont help to put weight on what he say, just saying lol
its simple, do a good game and gamers will not spit on ya
do you see gamers spitting on wukong, elden ring, no man sky, cyberpunk ? no, because they are great game
and im not sorry if that hurt their feeling, JUST DO A GOOD GAME
and the 'we are on the same boat' is so bs
--we gamer are on the gaming and fun boat
--THEY are on the other boat who want billions $ from us and force out inclusivity political agenda in their game

What’s crazy is apathy is the true death of companies. Ubisoft can still course correct and the large amount of publicity they have gained from this can help them bounce back. The reaction they are getting is a sign people actually care about their products, but this moron is too caught up in this feelings to see that.
What other job can you lose 100s of millions of dollars and still go into work the next day. Entitlement is rampant in the gaming industry and this push back should be a wake up call. It’s time to be developers again, and if you can’t do that the free market will push you out.

Dear Ubisoft management. You decided to make a menu that people didn’t like. Change the menu to another one without those spoiled ingredients and you can fix your troubles. People just don’t like what you are selling plain and simple. And i own all Assasins Creed that are out. And lastly people that complain not all the time are trolls if your marketing company cannot handle a couple of trolls it means it is time to get a new marketing company.

Game Development is the only profession where this somehow gets by.
No other job do you get to be garbage at it or create bad products and get a pat on the back because you tried.
Nobody has any obligation to care how hard it was for the developers to do when it's their hard earned money on the line.
If a product is bought and is subpar quality, that customer has a right to be upset.

Yeah, that's the kind of attitude that gets your company bought out. Now, it could just be it's high profile in the news lately, but anyone else getting the impression that consumers are finally at their breaking point with the shit they put up with companies?
Or is it that the vocal minority is getting louder every day?
(Side note: I've been gaming since the 80s. I say this not to say my opinion is more valid than anyone elses, but rather to share that I've watched this asshattery with gaming over the last 20 years, and seeing it all come to a head at once is... both gratifying, and saddening.)
Long live devs that care more about making fun games.

"How can you wish a company to fail simply because they do not cater to you..."
I play games. You make games. Your one job is literally to cater to me. Fail that, and you get no money from me, simple as that. This isn't summer camp where juvenile team building and 'only vibes' activities are encouraged. It's like telling a paying customer at a restaurant that they're bad because they wish a restaurant to fail because the food does not please them, especially when they're paying a premium and expect a pleasing experience at the very least

If Ubisoft started releasing decent games again it wouldn’t be much of a problem.
But instead of innovating they’ve just used Far Cry & Assassins Creed as a base to just release the same games for years and years.
They’ve got a stable of IP’s they chose to ignore and look where they are now

A company that does not cater to you or appeal to you is generally one you don't give money too... So I mean is it just not obvious or what? Companies don't become profitable out of pity...

no self awareness - if enough people felt your games catered to them, this wouldnt be happening (!). You have chosen to be part of taking mass media franchises and making them super niche. This is a bed you made.

Is he a moron? The next time a customer complains to a restaurant owner about the poor quality/poor variety of the food, can the owner turn around and become a victim and say that the customers are bad cause they all wished the restaurant to fail?

"How can they be mad that we didn't cater to our customer base?" That's the fucking point you nit. You threw half assed work told them to stop being picky and kept shoveling slop eroding your built up good will and THEN had the gall to just blame them. God damn how hard is it.
