Scuttle doesn't mean cancel, it means "to deliberately cause to fail" or in regards to a ship: "to deliberately cause to sink" or spaceship: "to deliberately cause to explode."
i do not like this; may I have the know back?
Imagine if they put some effort into a game like The Division. The money would flow, but suits are stupid.
I pay assassin's creed red is a great game.
I noticed errors in the latest ship hit the fan episode
Patrick's statement about Malta being captured by the Allies is also incorrect, Malta had been a British Empire Colony since 1813
The Royal Navy did not only lose the Eagle Class Aircraft Carrier, HMS Eagle but they also lost the Town Class Light Cruiser, HMS Manchester, C-Class Anti-Aircraft Cruiser, HMS Cairo and F-Class Destroyer, HMS Foresight in Operation Pedestal, or Convoy WS.21S as it was known
Whatever happened to XDefiant? Ubisoft’s answer to Apex Legends, or Call of Duty?
If only someone would tell the higher ups in Ubisoft that the fans only want a new Prince of Persia.
The star wars game is very likely this year
🤦🏾♂️If #Sony was only smart and not just Shady 😈🤙🏾
Ubi🌚
And no wonder they released their exclusive epic games onto steam
It’s funny hearing this after a lot of people go on saying “their new games are good, you’re all just hating”… weird how this is happening to them if their games are good huh
So that's why they crawled back onto steam, now it makes sense.
Every time i hear the word roundup i keep thinking about Monsanto…
Not-the-Brian is starting to grow on me I will give him that!
Ubisoft should be acquired by a better developer.
Well I bought a game from ubisoft still can’t figure it out how to install the game so that should mean something😂
Heyo Jake from achievement hunter 😂
Assassin’s Creed players, I have a question… why?
Good they deserve it.
I wonder if any of the problems are due to people turning away from them because of all the sex offenders?
Jack, did you run the Dopey! Congrats, thats no small feet!
This channel still a goldmine of videogames new in a compact package
And can we note how JKR is a transphobic monster, and she was pretty racist to start with?
WTF? I tried to give them literally "all the moneys" in support of AC: Valhalla, but game + season pass + dlc + $40 of in game coins so I could get the Cool Shit isn't enough?
WTf???
jack ? wtf ?
One thing about the Ubisoft game releases. It lists a bunch of different games then "premium games"… Please for the love of God please just use premium as a random descriptor please we don't need more Diablo immortal premium game s*it.
"Were having trouble adapting to the market changing to focus on live games" is hilarious because ubisoft is the live games company. The market didn't shift, you did, and now all your games suck. Ubisoft games are about to get way worse as they try to squeeze every penny out of them to make up for this. I say good riddance.
"Ubisoft is in really bad shape"…so basically, the same as usual for Ubisoft
Public reminder that EA, Ubisoft, and Activision-Blizzard are not Game Publishers or Game Creators, they're (Gambling) Investment Firms.
Hogwarts legacy is ranked number 2 in sales on steam even though it hasn't come out yet? Did nobody learn from Cyberpunk?
You mention forespoken in upcoming games 😂
Hope you get feeling better man.
Wow who knew doing NFT only games were a dumb idea.
Ubisoft next EA maybe
Congrats on finishing the Dopey Challenge, Jack!
If they’re going to continue focusing on Live-Service trash, instead of making great, finished, complete games, like Elden Ring… then they deserve to crash and burn.
Get better soon Jack.
Truly no youtube title could make me happier fuck ubisoft the number of games that were ruined because ubisoft was involved is to high
Ruined some of my favorite game ips assassin's creed should've died after unity but no ubisoft beating that dead horse as long as I makes money
Haven't been here for a while, what's jack doing here?
Welcome back jack
Good. Oh no, they're going to get worse..
When so many companies are making gaas crap, for you to think making your own to steal away whales is short sighted. Just make good games. Good stories worth telling, focused gameplay to tell that story. Don't make rinse repeat crap and sell skins.
Thank you guys! Hope you’re feeling better!
Not as bad as Disney in video games 😂
