Nope. That just announces they got an investment while maintaining full control.

That's not how it works. Now before you say ''BUT UBISOFT SAID SO'', I can guarantee you that it is certainly not how it will stay.

New investment means new rules and new criteria. I doubt Tencent would invest unless they got something out of it and I can tell you that based on Ubisoft's recent projects, that's not it to leave them full independence.

This will age like milk when the financial earnings call comes up.

Sure, if the sales reports show that it sold incredibly well, will these anti-woke chuds finally shut the ♥♥♥♥ up? They tried to attack KCD2, it succeeded. Then they went after MHW because you could make a woman with a beard and other stupid ♥♥♥♥, it succeeded. They went after Split Fiction, it succeeded. Surely if AC Shadows, which is already on its way to become another best seller for the series, indeed turns out to be a best seller, they'll finally give up, right?

You are really scrapping the bottom of the barrel by thinking that MHW being woke.

I've been following gaming news, quite a number well-known anti-wokers don't even consider KCD2 to be woke. MHW giving more character creation freedom doesn't make it woke, it doesn't even force players to choose pronouns. And I've heard nothing woke about Split Fiction, it's probably a nothing burger to begin with.

If you're so sure about AC: Shadows selling so well, what are the sale numbers?

Its not a typo…

Did you by any chance not read the OP?

That joke went WAYYY over your head....
Players aren't sales. Sales updates would be numbers in dollars, or units shipped. Not Player count. Player count would be worth something in the days before Subscription services. But alas, its 2025.

Actually China wants the IPs and will get them and throw empty shell Ubisoft in the trash.

You're right, ac shadows saved ubisoft.

Ignoring an inconsequential 1.2b injection of capital by tencent.

The game flopped, estimated sales are maxing our at 2m, and that's coming to 100m profit, about a third of estimated development cost, not even talking about their insane marketing budget.

It failed. It will never see a ROI.

Those numbers are completely arbitrary, you know that right?

As for the cash injection, these kind of deals get made weeks/months in advance….

Alt-right incel post. Shadows already surpassed 3 million players and is already profitable. It's doing so well that Tencent invested with no terms, basically giving Ubisoft free money while Ubisoft maintains 100% control. Tencent is a holdings company which means that they make money by investing in other companies. In other words they only give money to companies that are doing good so the investment is a sign of confidence in Ubisoft.

Super successful.

This is no longer copium addiction is denium, better call some help for this one.

Nobody said it was.

Black flag came out in 2013 when steam had 6.5 mil active player base
Odessey came out in 2018(?) when steam had 18 mil active player base
Shadows today , steam has 40 mil active player base.
So saying it’s biggest release day success in franchise history is a bit misleading but then that’s Ubisoft playbook with their bots on here post it’s a success , just like 2 mil ‘players” is not sales.
Tencent bought a company on sale basically , because its stock price is dropping , buy cheap take control then make changes, standard business practice

Who said 2 million players is 2 million sales? And didn’t you read the title? We are at 3 million players.

Secondly, the biggest release day was valhalla as far as i am aware.

China wants the IP cause it still makes money, like Shadows did.
