    No they’re fully aware - there just aren’t any negative consequences.

    The shareholders love it, until they don’t. Then these people get golden parachutes contracted from day 1.

      Ubisoft stock has lost 90% of its value the past 5 years though, so I don’t think the shareholders are fans.

      Which makes it even more insane that they haven’t realized that it’s time to take a step back and evaluate their strategy, but I guess there’s a point that they are extremely out of touch with reality.

        Of course they are. “The shareholders” doesn’t have to mean the long term owners - it can mean the people who have invested, saw line go up, and sold. They are happy, the CEO is happily off to a new job sailing down on a golden parachute, and the customers after being shown the middle finger…

        …preorder the next big title. Shit.
