I was kinda hesitant to make this topic but after yesterday's financial call from Ubisoft I really think that we should talk about this.
Yesterday during Ubisoft conference call for FY19 one of the investors asked Ubisoft if they plan to match Fortnite content update frequency or something like that. And their response was that they already started preparing for more frequent updates for all of their current and future GaaS games.
Month ago we had whole Epic crunch thing and we saw how Respawn response regarding Apex Legends was received. I mean look at this
Fortnite exploded and they are pushing content out at really unreasonable pace. Now if we add to that Fortnite userbase that are mostly teens or even younger population issue gets real. Fortnite is "training" whole new generation of gamers to expect new content in their games basically on weekly base.
That is not sustainable and not every company can match that pace or even want to match it. But then they are stuck with tons of complaints on social media or other community channels because people are expecting new content constantly, and they have Fortnite to point to at that does new content at that pace.
