Skull and Bones Cost $850 Million?!?!

IF true, then Yasuke is the least of Ubisoft’s troubles.

Sweet summer child that I am, I had thought that the disaster of Skull and Bones had at least been a manageable disaster. It had a reported budget of $200 million, which I had figured meant $400 million. Terrible but given my assumed strategic depth Ubisoft has, it was survivable

According to a report from Endimyon the money spent was somewhere between $650 and $850 million. This is not survivable.

I hadn’t realized just how completely dysfunctional Ubisoft is. It has taken Disney’s worst DEI programs and intensified them. Employees were actually encouraged to form their own SJW enclaves within Ubisoft.

And who knows what else. Consider the effects of creating these groups. A managerial position opens up at Ubisoft, there is an immediate fight by all of these groups to put one of their own into it. The group that gets the manager’s slot wins the Oppression Olympics that week.

Hire for merit? Do you think it’s 1980 or something?

This isn’t a business, it’s a collection of far-left warring tribes.

There is now (allegedly) an offer on the table from Tencent that the Guillemot Family is now considering. Tencent supposedly encouraged the inclusion of inclusivity like Yasuke and turning attractive characters ugly.

The minority shareholders are now openly claiming that Tencent and the Guillemot family have done this deliberately to crater the stock value of Ubisoft.

I have no way to know if this is true or not but what I do know is that Ubisoft is done.
