Ubisoft shareholders approved all resolutions on the agenda of its Annual General Meeting held on July 11 by a very large majority highlighting the strong confidence of the shareholders in Ubisoft’s strategy. In particular, the shareholders voted for the renewal of Yves Guillemot’s as director.
The problem is that for every one of us uh… “Serious” gamers there are 3 who aren’t like us. Top of my head:
the casual gamer, who isn’t opposed to micro transactions
the whales, from big to small who get addicted to these
children who have (I’ll say it) not great parents who just let them buy stuff so they keep quiet and playing their Nintendos
I’m sure there’s more, and I’m sure my list is not accurate, but we are a very tiny slice unfortunately. Still doesn’t mean I’m giving them a dime. I proudly wear the basic free armor in Halo Infinite hoping that someday they’ll see me running around and know that I’m playing a free game, years later, never paying them.
The thing is that by and large, only #2 out of your list is included in the big profits of these companies.
The other thing is somewhere between 1 and 3, namely grown-ups with cash from work but who find it absolutely normal to pay a certain amount per week for their favorite game. Because they’ve never known different.
And then of course, there’s the really fucked up group: problem spenders. Who are explicitly targetted and exploited by these shit companies.
