No one is forcing hate on anything. Gamers are really upset with how poorly Ubisoft has handled a lot of the cultural aspects of the game.

I wouldn’t call 61k all time peak on Steam “fine” though. And if we want to include console numbers, the estimated numbers for those can be done with a little math and deduction or watching this video https://youtu.be/drYxtli0MeA?si=OlVsB25EJ-Q5KfWE

And I am well aware Ubisoft announced an apparent 2 million “players” keyword: “Players”. Not sales. I am curious as to they they refuse to speak of actual sales numbers.

I think the problem is an extremely vocal minority rush to defend games that they do not even plan on playing themselves. As a person who thoroughly enjoyed the Ezio trilogy and the OG, I personally think the series became stagnant and boring to the manner of COD. AC 3 was my last entry and lost interest after that.

Not telling people not to play the game, but I made the same points with Veilguard. I will always be against companies that are anti-consumer

Kinda sad to see how forced Shadows hate is especially when it seems to be doing perfectly fine. Oh well, still busy with Wilds, looking forward to picking this up later in the year, maybe when the PSSR patch drops

the gaming industry does not stand still.

In 2020 peak concurrent users on Steam was 20 million and total was 120 million. In 2025 there are currently 69 million concurrent users with a total of 132 million.

We simply cannot ignore Steam numbers anymore.

Exhibit A:
Concord
Dustborn
Unkown 9 Awakening

@Kiryu, those figures are above AC: Origins' max Steam player count (#3), though behind AC: Odyssey (#1). There's also no data for the Ubisoft app, where you can buy it or play it as part of the Ubisoft+ subscription service (something you couldn't do when Origins/Odyssey released). We'll need to see what the console situation is and how Ubisoft frame it at their next quarterly report.

Mobile Suit Gundam Live-Action Movie Enters Full Production

by Sam Aberdeen on 06 February, 2025

A live-action Mobile Suit Gundam movie is in the works and it seems to have finally entered full production with Bandai Namco and Legendary co-financing it. The movie was actually announced back in 2018 but nothing came out of until now. With the formation of Bandai Namco Filmworks America, fans can finally look forward to seeing a Gundam movie on the big screen soon.

The live-action Mobile Suit Gundam will be written by Kim Mickle, who wrote the award-winning Netflix series Sweet Tooth. It will be released in theatres globally, though as of writing, it doesn’t have a director attached to the project, let alone a cast or crew. A teaser poster was released confirming that production had begun on the project, though it might be a few years before we can finally watch it.

“We plan to steadily announce details as they become finalised,” said Legendary and Bandai Namco in a press release. They continued:

“Mobile Suit Gundam, which began broadcasting in 1979, established the genre of ‘real robot anime’ that could not be described in terms of simple good and evil, which had been the trend of robot anime up to that point, with realistic depictions of war, detailed scientific examinations, and intricately interwoven human dramas that treated robots as ‘weapons’ called ‘mobile suits,’ and caused a huge boom.”

As far as mech or robot movies go in Hollywood, there is a notable lack of risky projects outside of the Transformers franchise. Guillermo del Toro’s Pacific Rim is often highlighted as the best in the genre, mainly due to its reverance for classic anime that inspired the movie like Neon Genesis Evangelion and, of course, Mobile Suit Gundam.

There are countless Gundam anime shows that have been produced since the late 70s and 80s, each covering different stories of galactic conflict and heroism. It will be interesting to see if Legendary, which also produced Pacific Rim, manages to capture the spirit of the anime.
