i was already the most interested in this one and greek one because you get to play as a lady, i was extra interested because of spiting the racists, now they're being mean to musk and grummz and this is upgrading to a 'maybe in 6 months on sale'
btw if there's anything that stops corporate from retracting stuff it's numbers. that tweet has more impressions than all of their promo tweets for the game except the first announcement tweet.
This is all especially satisfying after Ubisoft had to put the development team into virtual witness protection when the game launched because of these assholes.
I massively dislike Ubisoft (it’s mostly about Uplay, as well as them being scummy in general) but my interest in AC Shadows jumped when I saw that dunk.
That guy is the worst, but also... hate this kind of reporting. This pursuit of number is everything wrong in VG development. I just recently found out Prince of Persia Lost Crown which is amazing and then found ubi disbanded them and cancelled sequel plans because number not high enough ugh.
I've been playing for a few days and unfortunately I'm afraid I have to 100 percent it (this is great but also terrible because I just know I will suffer some platforming hell hahaha)
imagine getting 11 million impressions on a post the week your game comes out without having to do any actual like, work. no assets, no trailer, no promo, you just tell a fascist to get fucked and get a quarter of a million likes.
Back in the day, my D&D group was known by the local pizza place. We'd call them and just say "meat" as response to every question. They'd be like "oh it's you guys, okay" and bring us a number of meat lovers pizzas equal to how many times we'd said "meat" on the phone 😂
i just checked. their tweet dunking on elon has more impressions (13m) in 8 hours than any tweet promoting the game except the announcement trailer (20m)
but, the announcement trailer tweet got 20k likes and the anti elon tweet has 307k. in 8 hours. it's going up every time i refresh.
I was previously a 0% chance of purchasing (at least until I get it for pennies in some sale or clearance bin a few years from now) but honestly will probably pick a copy up now.
yes I follow I might have some word they use often muted tho cause I dont see posts often. will try and figure it out tomorrow. right now stress headache is hurting so bad Im gonna go to bed even if im not tired.

I haven't bought an Assassin's Creed game in 10 years.
(That's also my payday if it's not obvious)
the announce tweet has 35k likes and the dunking on elon tweet has 300k
I just installed Lost Crown yesterday, so excited to play.
It's selling well, but not the best ever. So it fails.
Fuck off.
