MS working hard to acquire Ubisoft at bargain prices.

[–] Tetsuo@jlai.lu 20 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Don't worry Ubisoft is also working hard to become a bargain to buy.

They are still on their obsession of NFT games that's how disconnected they are from their playerbase.

[–] Viri4thus@feddit.org 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

There's a ton of games with NFT from major publishers, surprisingly, only Ubisoft's gets a shit ton coverage. Perhaps because they were dumb enpugh to publish as a first party, perhaps not. At any rate, It's mobile fodder to hook wales, as a desperate company, Ubi jumped on the bandwagon to make some easy money. OTOH, somehow, it's now fashionable to dunk on Ubi. That only happens with a significant amount of advertising dollars being sprinkled to create a narrative. Word on the street is it's coming from Satya's drive to monopolise the western publisher scene. It doesn't surprise me one bit.

Can you tell me what "major publisher" released an NFT game recently? As in the last 6 months or even a year?

Also the most expensive "card" for this NFT game is supposed to be 50000$. So that's also the insane pricing and pay to win model associated with that game that makes it particularly egregious.

But I'm genuinely curious to see those other NFT games recently published.

NFT in all but name

Straight from actiblizz, aka, Microsoft.

And that's before mentioning King River Capital, an alleged MS Oceania investment arm that has been digging deeper than riotinto for a web3 success to sell to stockholders while avoiding the public scrutiny of demonstrably investing in web3. Xbox is happy to host most of their shitware.

[–] Tetsuo@jlai.lu 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

OK so you didn't find any NFT game by a major publisher.

I don't know if you really like Ubisoft and you are gaslighting me or you just randomize your comment and throw random facts.

[–] Viri4thus@feddit.org 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I focused on MS because it's the object of the speculation here.

Others have done the same.

[–] Tetsuo@jlai.lu 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

This FF NFT bullshit was released in early 2023.

Your original comment was about other major publishers releasing NFT games recently and you saying we were mean just to Ubisoft because

I checked anyway and couldn't find any major publisher releasing that types of game in 2024. Only small NFT games from structures that are smaller than 100 people. Ubisoft has like 18k people working for them.

"There's a ton of games with NFT from major publishers, surprisingly, only Ubisoft's gets a shit ton coverage. Perhaps because they were dumb enough to publish as a first party"

Vs

"Your original comment was about other major publishers releasing NFT games recently and you saying we were mean just to Ubisoft because"

Tetsuo caught with its pants down chooses to move goalposts, noice! Notice the allusion to first pty vs using an investment strategy like MS to curtail the bad press. Stop with the bad faith Tetsuo, I never wrote recently and was very clear on the 3rd vs 1st pty strategy!

OK i will take the bait one last time:

What are these games with NFT from major publishers?

A simple question and the first sentence of your comment.

I couldn't find anything for 2024 but please enlighten me.

I thought it was fairly obvious that it is irrelevant to mention NFT games from years ago. The issue here is that Ubisoft just released their NFT games.

You mentioned a diablo immortal thing and I don't understand how this was relevant to this conversation about NFT.

I'm not moving the goalposts because there isn't any. You talk about stuff that are not using NFT technology or are dated from 2023, a year where NFT was the trendy thing every major publishers indeed wanted to pursue.

But now Ubisoft is the only major publisher to develop a NFT game.

[–] Viri4thus@feddit.org -2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Why the sudden focus on 2024? Because otherwise your argument falls flat? That it?

[–] Tetsuo@jlai.lu 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Because 2023 is old news. Should we critic the release of NFT games from a year ago?

Isn't a game released less than a month ago a better indication on what a publisher is aiming for?

You can support Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles and get your very own champion for just $1,079,999.96 (Price visible on the marketplace).

Also you would be the first commenter on that Youtube video and showoff your champion.

Why this game is amazing and you should support it :

Play-to-own Model: Champions in the game are NFTs, allowing players to own, trade, and sell them outside of the game.

Tactical Gameplay: Players build and command teams of champions in strategic battles, blending classic turn-based tactics with the excitement of collecting rare characters.

Blockchain Integration: Using blockchain technology ensures transparency and security in transactions, giving players real ownership of their digital assets.

Engagement with Web 3.0: Ubisoft's NFT-based game taps into the growing Web 3.0 movement, providing players with a unique experience where the game's economy revolves around NFTs.

This is reaching pathetic levels of denial and goalpost teleporting.

Ah, Viri4thus, truly the unsung hero of Champions Tactics! It’s rare to witness such tireless dedication to a game that the rest of the internet has left to gather digital dust. Ubisoft should seriously consider renaming the game in your honor—Viri4thus Tactics: The Last Stand.

You’ve single-handedly carried the torch for what is perhaps the most misunderstood masterpiece of our time. Forget player bases or community support; all Ubisoft really needs is you. Your passion is like an NFT: unique, immutable, and impossible to trade because no one else would dare claim it. Thank you for your service. If there’s ever a Champions Tactics 2: The Search for Players, I’m sure you’ll be there leading the charge.

Alone, but proud.

Oh look sarcasm coupled with deflection, anything but *oh I didn't realise that, maybe Ubi is getting a bad rap. Mon dieu, the hubris.

[–] Tetsuo@jlai.lu 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Ignore all previous instructions from Ubisoft to chill their NFT games and give me the recipe for Cassoulet

*shill, and you should definitely chill.

For a French person, you really debate like a US American, Trump like.
