I hate graphs that don't start the Y axis at zero.
That said, fuck ubisoft.

Agreed. Took me a moment to realise they didn’t drop to zero. !dataisugly

Ubisoft will have to get used to people not owning their games.
Womp womp
not really news.. This is a 1 years graph.. its been going downward for some time
Now do a 5 year graph and realise it's kinda back to pre pandemic levels.
hm.. not quite.. but it certainly has seen some ups and downs, that are larger than what happened this morning. This is a graph of "all time"
This thread is like a lesson in the importance of x and y axes range in time series plots

I am curious if the games community has anything positive to say about major publishers at this point.
It’s fun to laugh at one failure, and it’s nice we still get occasional great indie hits. But when most major publishers fail to turn out anything of interest, and even Sony is kind of reaching vanishing expectations amid remasters of remasters, it becomes hard to even suggest what to buy an unknowledgeable kid for Christmas.
I appreciate them for the effort they put into bankrupting companies that make AAA corpo slop. Ubisoft could not have stopped Ubisoft without the help of Ubisoft. If were lucky EA could hop on board and bankrupt EA by acting like EA.
I'd say I'm happy that AAA companies are reaping what they sow from listening to their dumbass stakeholders.

Valve is pretty well liked. not sure you can really call them a games publisher any more though.

It didn't tank this morning. It's been going downhill for exactly a month.
You are correct, it's been on a downward slope since about 2021 but had a another sharp dip this morning probaly following the news they were delaying Asassins Creed
A rushed game is usually pretty bad, a delayed game is eventually good. While I dont hold AC in very high regard, im glad they told people that it needs more time to cook instead of throwing it out there half-baked.

You can make any graph look bad if you control the axis bounds weirdly like this.
Not that I have good things to say about ubisoft, but at a glance one would assume their stock value plummeted to zero, which is not the case.
This was also my initial take but look at these graphs with the Y axis starting from 0
Stock lost 67% value in the last year alone, and lost 85% in the past 5 years. Looks pretty dire to me. I would say this is undervalued but I have no confidence in the ubi leadership to turn it around.

Why don't they just start using ai to generate games? Its cheaper and no one will notice.

“Tanked”
Checks graph
19% is a hit but I wouldn’t call it tanked.
Some stocks are just volatile. Here is the full history:
Whenever I see social media say something dropped/jumped, I do the same thing as you - I visit the portfolio and take a birds eye view.
I still think about the one time redditors celebrated a company's stock dropping by 90% over the last day.
But what the picture left out was how the company was climbing by 1000% in a week before dropping.
A drop this severe is tanking. Even with a stock history like the one from Ubisoft.
did ubisoft make face masks or something wtf happened in 2020
I think people were just bored out of their minds
WTF you think happened in 2020? No one could leave their house, so video game went gang busters.
I worked at a video game retailer then, and it was the busiest we've ever been.

AAAA stock
It's been tanking for a lot longer than that
It's really a sad seeing Ubisoft going from a trendsetter up until Far Cry 3, to being a failed trend chaser.
I guess the anti-woke crowd is having a hard-on rn. I don't play ubisoft's games but I know a lot of good persons who work there around Quebec, and many of them fear losing their jobs.
To quote Jason Schreier, “whenever anything bad happens, worst people on the internet will be there to blame diversity”

When a game is successful it's because of the executive, but when it bombs it's the fault of the workers, sadly.
