    You are correct, it’s been on a downward slope since about 2021 but had a another sharp dip this morning probaly following the news they were delaying Asassins Creed

      A rushed game is usually pretty bad, a delayed game is eventually good. While I dont hold AC in very high regard, im glad they told people that it needs more time to cook instead of throwing it out there half-baked.

        Kerbal space program 2 was somehow both rushed and delayed :(

            Such a tragedy. And that was a game that just needed a tech upgrade, expand a bit, more of the same, nothing crazy.

              They tryed to put a story in ksp2. That’s how bad they misunderstood the franchise.

              Oh and you can still join the discord if you want to talk to people who still believe in ksp2 (its fascinating).

              To be fair, those tech upgrades aren’t exactly trivial to do, and most programmers aren’t skilled enough to do it.

              These kinds of projects need very careful management to avoid running overtime and over budget.

                I don’t know, the first one was cobbled up together from early access by programmers at a marketing firm and while janky (part of the charm some would say), it was quite an achievement.

                The approach which should have delivered better results was wrecked with takeovers and company drama then dumped to the public in a bad state.

        Yea. Really sad to see the price theyre paying for making the right decision once is 20% of their stock price…

        Quartery earnings report due 10/25. There’s no reason to sit capital here if there’s no catalyst for change.

        It’s not much of a delay. It was supposed to come out in 2 months, but delayed another 2 months. Doesn’t seem like much time to get any real work done.

        They also cancelled their premier at the Tokyo game show days before schedule. I have to wonder if they’re worried about the backlash that a lot of games are getting lately (Dustborn, Concord, etc) and just trying to push the game a little bit further out to avoid controversy?
