It’s the gamers fault, not our own.

“Good ain’t enough” Means that they Want to do more, For example, Make DEI influence output by incubating another sweet baby

Thing is, “solid” isn’t worth the bloated $130 price tag. Extraordinary is.

Couldn’t possibly be that many of their games aren’t actually good…

Can you imagine you’re a software developer applying to UBI, the interviewer asks, “how good are you at software development?”

You reply, “im just okay”

I don’t want extraordinary. I just want a solid, finished, optimized product. But I know that’s asking waaaaaaaay too much.

In the end, the real issue is that the internet will never be satisfied, and online discourse is always led by divisive opinions. Even decent games—like I’m talking solid 7 out of 10 games, which have every right to exist—get torn apart by people screaming, ‘IT’S A FAILURE, IT SUCKS,’ etc. And this is the real issue. The second there’s any sort of drama—a delay, a PR slip, or any minor production hiccup—it creates this snowball effect of hate and social media screaming matches. This noise bleeds into the opinions of people who just take things at surface value without digging deeper into the actual game itself.

What makes this worse is that online discourse today isn’t just driven by genuine opinions. You’ve got bots and algorithms pushing controversy because, in reality, revenue is driven by clicks. The more people argue, the more traffic it generates, and platforms profit from that. It doesn’t matter if the argument is reasonable or fair. These platforms amplify the loudest, most divisive voices because controversy keeps users engaged. So, the problem isn’t just about whether *Skull and Bones* or *Star Wars Outlaws* are average games. It’s about how online outrage—whether genuine or manipulated—has become a tool for profit.

Ubisoft, in particular, is stuck in this ‘damned if you do, damned if you don’t’ loop. They release *Outlaws*—a game that, yes, might not be revolutionary, but solid enough—and before anyone can even experience it for themselves, it’s already branded a failure by mobs online because its always online, which isn’t great, but shouldn’t affect the nature of the actual product itself when you play it. And the thing is, it’s not just the hardcore critics doing this. Social media thrives on drama and negativity. Bots, trolls, and algorithms all work together to stir the pot, making it feel like the world is rooting for these games to fail, regardless of their actual quality.

Isn’t it their job to develop games that match their reputation or the consumer will make a new lower expectationod their product?
