Then why are we waiting after more than 1 week for UBISOFT to celebrate by announcing bonuses and free late's for their employees? Instead they may be about to announce layoffs instead.

Probably cause the company is still in the red, one single game couldn't realistically make up for two years worth of failed projects that made Ubisoft bleed money. I'm happier for the devs rather than Ubisoft's higher ups, it must have been stressful for these people to work under a company that's already known for its abusive treatment of employees and also having to deal with a loud minority of people obsessively talking ♥♥♥♥ about their work on the internet, they deserve some good news after all this trouble.

Do they deserve good news? Managers? Eh. Devs? Yes.
However. They are probably disappointed about sales.
Considering fans wanted Japan since like start of the series...
And The management decided to make a real person (which wasn't a samurai), a samurai. Which caused a lot of discussions and criticizm. Which could just be avoided by adding a real japanese Samurai, or just a fictional character.

They are probably disappointed about sales tho, Most likely.

Or having him establishing relations with Mozambique as a brotherhood assassin like in Valhalla.

Yeah I'm talking about the devs, management could eat a ♥♥♥♥ for all I care. I'm not sure about them being disappointed by the sales or player engagement, considering there's been good news regarding that since the first day of release, otherwise the company would have been completely silent about its launch like EA was about Veilguard's launch.

LoL @ 3 mil. I remember when Bioware said they had 6 gorillion players, too; and they fired everyone 2 months later.

The highest they ever claimed was 1.5 million.

Ubisoft never needed "saving". Anything that said that was incel propaganda. That said, Ubisoft is doing extremely well right now due to the success of Shadows.

likely tencent buying up the copies lol

[Parvus]

The only Number that matters is the Stock price of Ubisoft
13.05€ during AC Shadow release.
11.01€ as of right now (Today is April 1st.)
110.60€ was the peak as of July 31st. 2018

Everything else is childsplay...

Edit: For the uneducated: If a Company does well the Numbers on the Stock prices go up, if it doesn't do to well or simply is full of uncertainty it goes down.

You are right, it needed no saving, which is why they sold 25% of their company to Tencent. That's what good companies do, sell 1/4 of it to other companies.

Cope harder.

I feel like, They are trying to say "we are getting players, we are happy" but just trying to use that as a mask.

It does matter to traders. For gamers - not so much.

Sure? Because when we talk about the health of a Company that is traded on the Stock Market, it is always linked to their products and the certainty that get influenced by it. This is how the Market works, i am not the designer of this, i am just the Messenger, i don't tell you what to think i just provided the raw Numbers. I let People think for themself.
