Ubisoft was banking on Star Wars Outlaws to be a massive, multi-platform hit that would earn the company plenty of money, especially with the expensive Gold and Ultimate editions and season pass.
“The game received an unusual number of user reviews with a clear negative bias (including a large percentage of “zero” reviews), despite seeing acceptable review scores from reputable review sites,” Wedbush analysts Michael Pachter, Alicia Reese and Kade Bar wrote in a note last week. “This is a case of a rare incel victory that led to Ubisoft having to take down its numbers,” they added.
Oh kindly fuck the hell off. Whenever people have legitimate criticisms of something like this they always downplay it as trolls, or review bombing. NO. It’s a boring game, that’s it. Ubisoft tries to make games for “everybody” and so they take zero risks, and because of that their games are boring.
Ubisoft has been trash for over a decade. The only thing they had going for them were ass creed.
Maybe they should stop churning out shit, making always online shit, and just generally being shit.
Please sell it to EA. Sell all the garbage game making companies to the undisputed king of shit so I can have an easier time avoiding shitty games.
If they’d backtrack on UPlay I’d probably actually buy the odd title again. But whatever. It’s likely never going to happen anyway.

Some analysts point to sheer number of games available today, their high prices, and the cost of living crisis for a slowdown in the gaming market. Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot himself admitted that gamers now expect extraordinary experiences, and that “delivering solid quality is no longer enough.”
The lesson learned is pander even more and make the hog slop an even more finely liquefied puree of fanservice shit!
I just hope Anno gets out of this in a good state. 1800 is probably the best one, if I ignore my nostalgia for 1602.
