Ubisoft's sales down nearly 20%. In what other business could you have numbers like this and not have, "resignations" and lawsuits coming out the wazoo?

It is quite silly how many gamers (maybe misinformed by shitfluencers?) have pretended as if Ubi is about to croak. They're not.

I agree fully. Companies as large as Ubisoft do not disappear overnight and are more likely to be subjects of a buyout before closure anyway (everyone is hungry to buy an already established company for cheap, not that it's what I'm suggesting will happen). Sales being down 20% does not necessarily mean anything at all.
Plus there is a false narrative that they are a financial failure. Companies like Square Enix keep on repeating how their every major release did not meet expected revenue targets and yet you don't see anyone shitting on SE or saying that they're failing.

I haven't personally bought any Ubisoft games in years (last one was Anno 1800, love that series), but that's more due to the giant ass load of games getting released every month and I simply don't have time to play their type of games too often. Or... a lot of any other games for that matter. We like to have a well-defined villain here on the internet and we so do love a witch hunt, Ubisoft is just unlucky to be the current target who everyone is going to forget about in a couple of months.
