Skull and Bones

The house sailed across 2023-2024 for two years, peaking at 1,061 viewers for Skull and Bones, Ubisoft's "quadruple-A" game that spent 11 years in development hell. StreamerHouse was there for the February 2024 launch when CEO Yves Guillemot defended the $70 price tag despite the game feeling like a $30 expansion. The streams documented a game that began as Black Flag DLC in 2013, became an MMO, moved from Caribbean to Hyperborea to East Africa, focused on land-based survival elements like Rust, then eventually shipped as a naval combat game with copy-pasted operators. Two years of coverage caught the pre-launch hype, the mixed reviews calling it "mobile-like mini-games," and the reality that Ubisoft's $200 million investment would never break even. The house watched a quad-A game fail to justify even one A.
