Not Ubisoft related but I wanted to rant a little about this too, how fucking ridiculous are shareholders being here, this industry is an absolute joke at the minute. If investors are going to start pissing their pants about something as useless as Steam CCU then I would rather Steam CCU be removed entirely.
So a game can now sell hundreds of thousands of copies, cover the entire costs of making the game, but if it doesn't get a high CONCURRENT player count, the stock gets battered? What a joke, Steam CCU used to just be something fun to look at and now it's being turned into something horrible, I thought only by forum users but now the goddamn investors too 💀
When you release a game, sell 350k copies and quickly say estimated sales revenue will cover the cost of making and marketing the game...

... but analysts expected 80-100k peak Steam concurrents and you got 35k https://t.co/40uJuUqQ4H pic.twitter.com/MeSeNpncCZ
