Daniel Vávra, co-founder of Warhorse Studios and the visionary behind Kingdom Come: Deliverance, has been increasingly engaging on social media since stepping away from active game development. He recently seized an opportunity to publicly comment on Ubisoft's current financial situation.
Vávra revealed he had forgotten about some old Ubisoft shares he owned, and their drastic fall in value prompted him to mock the once-celebrated company. He openly expressed skepticism regarding Ubisoft's claims of incredible success for its game series, specifically questioning the sales performance of the latest title, Assassin's Creed: Shadows.
"I still have some spare Ubisoft shares I completely forgot about, and oh my god, they are plummeting into an abyss. From 77 to 4 in 5 years... And all this against the backdrop of claims about insanely successful sales of their games. It seems the latest Assassin's Creed about Japan isn't selling very well... Should I buy on the dip? By 'dip,' I mean the bottomless hell pit where Ubisoft currently resides."
