Star Wars Outlaws sales were 'softer than expected,' so Ubisoft is slamming the release-it-on-Steam button early [will come to Steam in November] (www.pcgamer.com)

It is a good game IMO, but they will have completely missed the hype train by November.

Interesting, I'd say it's incredibly badly designed and executed given Ubisoft's resources and the open world games they can make. The lack of danger and enemy awareness, the perfunctory stealth that barely works, the mostly empty open world and floaty speeder, the formulaic story...

Now, the one thing we learned from Ubi's mistakes is that there's no second chance for a first impression. They added a completely new and rather good campaign to try and fix Breakpoint, making all the looter tropes optional and it works great, it's a good open world game after that, but I haven't seen an influx of new players.

It is far far worse. Check LegendaryDrops video about what Ubi developers have told him in private.

Ubisoft as a company no longer exists as it did back when they made good games.

It is all a shitshow right now.
