$UBI (+5.5%) : Ubisoft, the French video game company, saw its shares plummet by over 17% after announcing a delay in the release of "Assassin's Creed Shadows" and a cut in its financial forecast. The game, which was originally scheduled for a November release, was pushed back to February 2025 due to disappointing sales of "Star Wars Outlaws". Ubisoft now expects lower net bookings for the fiscal year, significantly impacting its market value. This setback comes amid pressure from activist shareholder AJ Investments, which is pushing for a sale of the company. Ubisoft's stock has fallen over 58% this year, hitting a decade low.

That's what happens when developers don't do what the community wants and only do it because Big Brother dictates it. The core communities of games (tryharders, speedrunners etc.) are disappointed by all developers every year and are increasingly turning away from the games. Now you might think that this wouldn't matter as long as the masses (usually called scrubs, noobs or similar) stay, but they often only stay for 1-2 years, then either don't have the time or the desire and use little to no real money, while hardcore gamers are happy to spend thousands of euros on a game if it's good. I don't go in there myself.... Their dividends don't do me any good either if the share price sails down, bad decisions are continually made and the games get worse year after year. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's my form of payback, I used to be a gamer myself😂👍🏻
