Ubisoft sees 35% drop in sales

I think Ubisoft alienated many PC gamers when they pulled the DRM nonsense and called all PC gamers dirty rotten pirates. I still buy the games though because they have some great titles, but for them as a publisher I'm no big fan.

Well they seem to have felt that mistake in their financial results. They do have some epic games, and I still think AC Black Flag was my GoTY of 2013. It seems as if they alienated their PC gaming followers due to the relative small size of their market, but by doing that just made it even worse.

Another thing I'm seeing here is the lack of 2014/2015 forecasting, so no indication of how well their upcoming titles will do. I suspect that they will make up their deficit with their strong line-up, and their PS4 sales are a promising start showing buying power for new games.

Couldn't agree more. I've remained solid supporter of Ubi due to them not having annual release games and always focusing on new IP's and innovation, not to mention fantastic art. This is just a skump, the Division and Watch Dogs will carry them back to the top.

Um...


Not that I'm complaining too much, enjoyed most of them but still need to get the latest.

If you play them on EVERY format, then yes. Brotherhood and Revelations were just big expansions and Iv came out almost 2 years after III.
