Well you guys tried.

All-Time Peak Player Count of 271
Player count already down to 100

Meanwhile Shadows has surpassed 1 million players in its first day because people keep looking at steam numbers when Ubisoft Connect and Consoles has always been its biggest platform and this hasn't quite clicked yet.

But hey, "A" for Effort, and if the dev made money from people, great job. You saw a financial opportunity and took it.

That's taking the initiative. Keep up the good work.

You know, if you compare the budget/sales with this game and AC Shadows, this game won. This game has way more profit for the budget used.

Yes, this game likely has profit, not loss. That's automatic Win for Yasuke Sim, against other games failing to make any profits.

This one made me laugh. It's already better than newest Ubislop.

You have some self reflection to do..... y'all need some serious introspection.
Legit embarrassing behavior. Peace.

Cry more please, my lib tears mug needs a refill. Get a sense of humor, karen.

OP also thinks making joke about a parody would get him anywhere and doesn't know the difference between a huge company with million dollar budget project and an indie developer with low budget having different aims.

That's just what autism/low IQ/being a kid looks like.

I mean if we're calling something indie devs it might as well be Ubisoft. They're paupers now and can't afford to pay off PC Gamer for a positive review.

So be kind and stop bullying the poor indie devs, Ubisoft are trying their best.

If it was a million that 31k active users right now is pretty sad.

Everyone needs to relax. I want everyone to remember some facts here.
1: AC Shadows just released and some of those players might refund the game.
It's the time after the Steam refund window closes that matters here.
2: AC Shadows had an advertisement budget and this game had no advertisement budget.

So Shadows having a million players doesn't equal a profit yet.
Whole this game having 200 players or even a 100 players with no advertisement budget is actually impressive.

Right now we're in the after release who will update and make fixes to who's game stage of a video game life?
Will AC Shadows fix in game issues and negotiate political issues successfully and will this game make quality of life improvements like controller support, stability issues and optimization type updates?

That is where we are at with both games and will make the real difference in numbers.

agreed. i remember on the selaco forum (which was a game that was recieving backlash for basically attacking an awards show for giving them free advertisement) he tried to excuse what the devs were doing by calling one of the show's host's friends a pedophile, and then provided literally no proof whatsoever.

I'm not saying he's wrong, because i literally have no clue who he was talking about, but it is very much a reddit thing to do to only start caring about pedophilia when it's your political opposition thats doing the pedo stuff lol.

The Selaco Devs didn't want to have anything to do with the "Awards Show", which was nothing more then a YouTube Tier List (Wasn't even any actual awards and cost $30 just to vote) because they did not like or agree with the views of the hosts.
Saying "They were mad about free advertising" is manipulative behavior.

And proof was provided. The host was Raz0rfist who had been dating a girl since she was 15 while he was in his mid 20's. It sparked enough controversy he ended up leaving the Side-Scrollers podcast that Stuttering Craig hosted.

I find it hilarious how people think 1 million PLAYERS is a success for a AAA game, when the majority of those players are playing it on their rental service.

Not AAA, it's AAAA
3000 people worked on that and the end credits is 2 hours long. Even Concord was like an hour only.

Why has everyone, on all sides, started to use "currently playing" as the be-all end-all metric for absolutely all games in the last 5 years or so?

Both Yasuke Simulator and Assassin's Creed Shadows are single player games. People will start them whenever, and be done with them whenever.

The real metrics is sales amount, maybe tempered with production cost vs revenue if you're into that.

Could be that they've been so used to using said metric to gauge the success of live service games. But you make a fantastic rational point about single player titles and how that shouldn't BE the gold standard of measurement used for them.

Kudos.

nice try, but you are not getting my clown awards

[Kramo]

AC Shadows got called out BY THE JAPANESE GOVERNMENT for its racism. Yeah, you support it. That's great. You're a racist neo nazi. Now own it. You're a racist fascist that hates anyone that disagrees with you. You are NAZI and you should at least have the spine to stand by it. You are racist, but hopefully you arent a coward too. Admit it and own it, you racist nazi scumbag.

1. In This thread here, on the first comment replying to the post you drop the claim that Razorfist is a pedophile, dont say who it is, and then refuse to provide any proof, links, etc. You do name him much, much later in the thread, but it is buried by over 100 other comments, and its likely many people saw your original post, took it at face value, and then went on with their day. On top of that, in that comment, you say "he is under allegations" yet here you are saying it as fact, so which one is it Grimno? This point about you throwing out accusations with 0 proof still stands
2. the point about the award show being a youtube tier list in your opinion, as well as the fact that it costed $30 to vote, is a complete nothingburger. so long as people knew what they were spending their money one, what is the issue here, and why are u even bringing that up in the first place? Also, Compared to other award shows like Golden Joysticks, Valve's game awards (forget if they have an actual name), and The Game Awards, Craig doesn't have nearly as much money as Valve, or as many sponsors as GJ and TGA, so he probably needs more money than they do by a longshot.
3. Once again, you're implying that Craig has some bad views, a rather vague claim with broad implications, with no proof. This is a bad faith thing to do, and if u dont like me saying that, then provide sources, links, etc. next time.
4. If Razorfist left the podcast because of the things he did, then that makes the claim that the selaco devs were justified even worse. Why would you lash out against someone who kicked a pedophile off of his podcast? that makes literally no sense.

Once again, you have shown that you do not argue with any semblance of good faith, and use pedophilia accusations as a weapon against people you dont agree with politically. I dont know the full story of Razorfist, and whether or not the things you say are true, but if he is those things, using him as a tool to own stuttering craig is a low blow, and you shouldnt do that to anyone, regardless of political affiliation.

I need to just make a dogass broken game with an anti-woke justice warrior "dunk" embedded somewhere in the theme. Might as well spend a few hours slapping something together to put on steam.... if it's this easy to separate 300 losers from their money. I can easily pay for my weed for like a year with a little haul like that.
