Ubisoft has said the recently released Skull and Bones has achieved “record player engagement” since launch, although it has yet to announce how many copies it’s sold or how many players it has.

    I know dozens of people who wanted this game because they really loved the ship combat in Black Flag but substituted Sea of Thieves as it was the only close game out at the time. These are the kinds of people who buy games on a whim, play them for a week and then never again.

    Not a single one of them gives a single flying fuck about Skull and Bones. In fact, when it was released everybody had a revived interest in playing Sea of Thieves instead.

      Skull and Bones made me want to play a pirate game, but everything points to it being just a worse Black Flag. That’s why last week I bought Sea of Thieves and have been enjoying it quite a bit.
