Ubisoft has said the recently released Skull and Bones has achieved “record player engagement” since launch, although it has yet to announce how many copies it’s sold or how many players it has.

You wouldn't know the players, they go to a different school.

The different school in 8 months after Skull and Bones launch:

Our curriculum isn't doing well. This is not the curriculum we wanted to deliver. Players expect better, yada yada yada, you know the usual school's apology stuff. We need to lay off 100% of teachers so as to realign, synergize, refocus, retool, and remoney our money-making money curriculum disguised as a "game". We will do better. We hear you loud and clear (kind of), and we probably learned a lesson of some kind.

and we probably learned a lesson of some kind.

From now on, I'm going to tack that to the end of every game studio announcement I read, just to see how it fits.
