in ancient times publishers would need to press dvds, gaming manuals and ship them all over the world and would need to take care of wholesale refunds of some sellers and redistrubte the copys to somewhere else. transportation costs included theyd spend alot.
nowadays even poor countries/regions are lucrative because you can get sone money out of them unlike back in the days where it wasnt worth it. If you think about overpriced dlcs aswell that offer much less than what addons did back then you ve got a whole lot of proflt. Maybe publishers should stop feeding ceos with a huge load of money instead of making games more expensive for the consumer
in b4 assasins creed 10 mega preorder diamond gold edition costs 300 euros and doesnt even include the deluxe content nor the season pass season 3 content. ( yeah more than 1 season pass or things like mtx for xp boosts and cosmetics are a thing aswell)
sarcasm: sorry guyz game publishers had to raise prices because its not 1990 anymore EVERYTHING changed but only prices of games stayed the same....
Holy shit, they're utterly cucked... simply amazing. Imagine having to justify something as tame as

Ubisoft+? 15$/month gives you access to their full catalog, and you can cancel immediately (you still have 30 days).
If you have some holidays planned, and/or there's a specific title you want to play, it's the easiest way and actually legal
There must have been a door there in the wall, when I came in.
Truly gone fishing.
Yeah, I know about that, but I only want to buy AC: Valhalla. I can get it for around EUR 18, which is fine, but if there's an even cheaper ooption, I'd go with that.
They made too many failures last few years. Nobody plays Hyper Scape anymore, The Division 2 just average with too many problems, everyone forgot about Watch Dogs: Legion after 1 month and the upcoming Steam release won't help much, Far Cry 6 just same-same.
All those games are carried by AC: Valhalla and maybe Immortals Fenyx Rising did some slight profit.
Now they keep delaying some games like Skull and Bones or give no update what's going on with Beyond Good & Evil 2 and the Prince of Persia remake. Oh, and the Watch Dogs: Legion full source code leak probably didn't help either.
Ubisoft has detailed plans expand its Assassin's Creed team by 40% "over the coming years" as it seeks to focus its resources on "big brands and long-lasting Live games".
The news comes as part of the publisher's Financial Year 2023 earnings report, the first earnings report since its disappointing quarterly update in January, in which it announced an "increased cautiousness over the coming years" and the cancellation of three unannounced projects.
In today's end-of-year report, Ubisoft recorded net bookings of €1.74B, marking an 18% year-on-year decrease for the publisher, but there were some notable wins for its biggest franchises, including a record number of active users for the Assassin's Creed franchise over the last year, coming it at 44% higher than Origins and 19% higher than Odyssey.
That's undoubtedly helped spur Ubisoft's decision to lean even more heavily on Assassin's Creed, with the publisher announcing plans to expand the team working on the series by 40% in the coming years. To achieve that target, which will bring the team's headcount up from 2,000 to 2,800, employees will be moved over from other franchises.
Ubisoft does, of course, have a lot of Assassin's Creed on its slate already, with five titles confirmed to be in development: this year's Baghdad-set Mirage, Project Hexe, and Codename Red, plus mobile game Codename Jade, and another mobile offering for Netflix.
Ubisoft's increased focus on Assassin's Creed comes as it hones in on what it calls its key strategic pillars: "big brands and long-lasting Live games".
In the latter camp, Ubisoft reported key milestones for both Rainbow Six: Siege and The Division 2 in its latest financial report, the former seeing a playtime increase of 30% in Q4, while the latter saw a 28% increase in session days played in the same quarter.
Its dalliances with free-to-play titles have been considerably less notable so far, but Ubisoft describes "recent developments" as "encouraging", highlighting the positive response to its upcoming free-to-play shooter XDefiant's recent beta.
Ubisoft is set to share more on its slate of future titles during its big summer showcase, Ubisoft Forward, which will air on 12th June.
More disgusting Ubislop.
Eat it up, piggies
