Avowed had around 125 people working on it. Ubisoft has over 18,000 Employees. This game needs to sell a hell of a lot more to break even.

Ubisoft is working on many games. There a 2 billion dollar company...lol.

Let's break it down. Assassins Creed Shadows is speculated to have cost between $250 Million USD to $350 Million USD. This game was announced back in 2022, and it had several delays.

If it's only Steam sales which looking at, they take a 30% cut and a $70 game would roughly give $50 per copy. Only looking at Steam this game would need to sell about 5 million copies at the minimum.

They would need around 5 Million copies sold to just break even. Considering you can pay $17 to play this game for a month and be considered a "player". I'm sure they will break even in years to come.

If it only need to sell 5 million copies, it'll be very easy to reach that.

Even AC Mirage sold over 5 million copies.

AC Shadows top AC Odyssey's number on Steam. AC Odyssey sold over 10 million copies.

You mean that woke game?

You know with the blue and pink hair, the body type A B and C, the beards on muscular women, dresses on men and Non-Binary characters?

Hell yeah!

Can people please start defining "woke". Both sides have different definitions. The woke and anti-woke crowds have serious issues.

And? Failguard peaked at 90k players day one and that was a failure..

But Odyssey peaked at 62k and was not a failure. You have to compare it to others in the franchise. While Dragon Age has always been a PC game first, AC has always been a console game first. Most of its sales will logically be on console, and according to the "2 million copies" number everyone is reporting, indeed they are almost ten times over.

I see a lot of buzzwords. I say as someone who was in that mess: Don't let people on the internet tell you how to think. See the world as it is, not through the lens of content farms and influencer jargon. It doesn't do the left any favors, so don't let the right make you into the thing you hate.

Besides. Up front sales don't tell us everything. These games have a very long tail. AC games are sold on multiple platforms, available for years and years.

Players arent equal sells.
Since they mentioned 2 million people who played the game not these that purchased game make me believe that game didnt manage to sell even 1 million copies.
To me 1,5 million copies sold sound much better then 2 million people who played the game.
At least good thing is that after this failure someone will purchase Ubisoft, or at least their gaming series so we can maybe, finally, get better games then same old Far Cry 3 and Assassins Creed Origins for 10 years now.
Not to mention possible revival of forgotten series that Ubisoft owns

yea because sales are much much higher than concurrent players. Sales are probably 3 -4 million and that number was yesterday. IT has increased since then. There is no failure. Take your hate somewhere else anti developer anti gamer. Why are you people even on Steam. You don't support our hobby.

Laughable you say "we don't support our hobby" I own 4 THOUSAND games on Steam. I support games, I won't support THIS game because all it is, is bad activism for BS nobody cares about and nobody wants to see in a 70 dollar game. Keep coping, Ubisoft will shut down in short order because ACS is an undeniable flop.

Glad to see the game succeeding, it actually looks really good

I agree with you and believe you are right. That's why I said in "years to come".

Recently a game called "Miside" released in December with a dev team of 2 people roughly sold over 2 million copies by January.

Doubling your money over a long period of time isn't good enough. There are better investments to be made when you have that kind of money.

Hey hey hey. Hey.

I'm buying it purely for the graphics and the village building.

Don't presume to know what I care about. I care about base building every time.

Guy with private profile says someone with 300+ Games and thousands of hours in actually good games is "surely not a gamer". Hilarious.

hes not one to me. Gamers support developers and games. Not prey for them to go bankrupt. and you don't sound like one either.

Gamers don't "support developers" blindly, they support good games, and ACS isn't a good game. Hurr durr.

The Sales figures are bad, otherwise Ubisoft would be publishing them like.. idk like MH did? a much more niche game than AC but still doing peaks of 300k players..

Hopefully Ubisoft get brought out and shut down. its a glorious day to watch people cope and seeth lying to them selves this game was a success XD

Veilguard only reached 1.5 mio - AC shadows have over 2 mio sold after the weekend!

So far, that game is fun for SURE, but the gameplay is rough sometimes. Input delay and animation locks that are ACTUALLY atrocious.
