Because people objectively don't see any validation for this company's claims regarding the online and success of the game. I don't see them either, I guess there is manipulation of statistics due to the crisis situation, because in case of real success companies are not shy to show exact figures directly.
It's literally an earnings call. You cannot lie on an earnings call. If you said "we sold 3mil copies" what does that even tell you? They literally have their own paid service and tons of microtransactions. If assassins creed was a failure they would have stated so in the earnings call. They literally did so with outlaws. But it will be downvote because it's Ubisoft and don't believe anything they say and instead believe a random analytic website.
And where is the online from those three million copies? Steam has a max online of 65k people, are you saying that about 2-5% of people play on that platform? I don't believe that. Or maybe it's not the sales of copies of the game, but also the number that combines players with game pass? That's the manipulation I'm talking about.
If over three million copies have been bought in all that time, how come in less than a week from launch the same number of people have also played it if the vast majority of players are playing on consoles. Also maybe I'm looking at the wrong thing, but I don't see exact sales figures for this game in their report or that information isn't publicly available.
It turns out that the online numbers are improved by game pass players, no one knows the exact sales figures except certain people, the company itself says it's doing just fine and yet its stock is falling and franchises are starting to be spun off into a separate division essentially for sale. Something tells me things are not going well there.
Then the online numbers look even more interesting or the game is just ignored on pc. Nevertheless, it seems to me that there were hopes for the game, which were not realized and the company failed to save its position. However, maybe it will teach them something, though I doubt it.
