If it were doing well, one might think they'd share sales figures instead.
That is not the standard launch metric in the industry, that comes in quarterly earnings calls. Are you one of the go woke go broke brigade?
I'm part of the "I don't think this game is doing nearly as well as Ubisoft needs it to" "brigade," but thank you very much for slinging baseless accusations.
To clarify, sales figures don't exist anymore because you have to count the people who take a $20 sub to ubisoft to play this instead of buying it.
I realize that, but I find it a worthless stat because the numbers are more easily massaged, which is of course partly the point. A different measurement, which paints a less flattering picture, is concurrent players on Steam. I realize that the game will pull players from other places, but comparing it to other games in the same situation doesn't render favorable results; something which Ubisoft would prefer you didn't know, as is evident by their asking Valve to obfuscate these statistics in the past.
