!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Literally all they had to do was make good games
Hey, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time was great!
Not sure what you mean. They needed more NFTs and AI from what I can tell! /s
Honestly though whenever I hear big companies like this fail, it keeps making me go back to the Steve Jobs interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlBjNmXvqIM
How have I never seen that interview!? Thanks, great stuff...
Yeah the full interview is a real treat (in my opinion)
Steve Jobs The Lost Interview: https://youtu.be/rDqQcmVqAm4
I'm not gonna defend Steve Jobs as a person at all but there's some real insightful stuff in the interview. Even just from a historical perspective.
It's funny it happened to Apple too
Sadly, that's not necessarily true: https://youtube.com/shorts/IHZru-6M8BY
I mean, it's not true inside a bubble. I'm sure there's some incredible games that have been made by one person that didn't find the kind of success that Stardew Valley, Minecraft, Super Meat Boy, etc did. But at a giant corporation like Ubisoft, they're not on their own! They have marketing people, interns, studios and sub-studios, finance people, trend analysts, etc.
Ubisoft has some great IPs. But all of their best games came out over 20 years ago! So yes, quality is not the only thing, but it definitely matters.
