It’s time big studios start firing these soulless assholes instead of the developers and crew that put their effort and love in their work.
If people would stop buying these shits, the problem would fix itself.
Stupid clickbait article that twists the words to try and make a scandal
Assassin’s Creed Shadows, which quickly gained controversy for numerous allegations that Ubisoft was mispresenting Japanese heritage through unpopular artistic design choices
I love how they danced around G"mers being racist sacks of shit, because otherwise you might feel sympathetic.
I can’t explain how stupid this is.
He posted this on LinkedIn, openly attacking customers.
Businesses hate when you attack the hand that feeds them.
This dude is cooked.
Edit: looks like he deleted it. Good. Jesus Christ people, stop venting on LinkedIn. You’re not taking a stand, you’re looking like a moron.
Ubisoft went to the Disney School of Free Marketing.
1)Make a subpar product featuring IP that people care about.
2)Fabricate controversy about a character on social media.
3)Call customers bigots.
4)Tell people “it’s not for you!”
5)Blame flop on bigot fans.
6)Repeat
7)Profit I guess?
But seeing how “gamers” react on social medias, wishing ill-fate to companies and people alike is sad.
It’s the fans!
What is even more revolting, is coming on LinkedIn and seeing the same comments from people within the industry.
And the industry! Not us, it can’t be us!
I’m not defending the multibillion dollar corporation, but remember when there were death threats sent to CDPR when they delayed Cyberpunk 2077?
I think you meant delayed?
I did. I was using the swipe text.
It sounds to me like they’re spending too much time on social media instead of focusing on working on the game.
I don’t see where gamers are referred to as non decent humans. But I have reading comprehension so maybe the article isn’t aimed at me.
I have twitter links blocked, so it was hard to get to the original source for me too, but this is it:
It makes somewhat more sense in context. He’s not calling all gamers scum, he saying “gamers” (in scare quotes) that root for the downfall of companies and harass people on social media are not decent people.
There’s still some room to disagree with him, but it’s not as bad as the top headline makes it out to be.
I’m sure we can all agree this guy’s position wouldn’t even have existed if Ubisoft wasn’t so damn greedy for every extra cent they can take from their customers.
It’s literally word for word in the tweet by the dude?
Sorry, I was throwing shade at how they twisted their words. The person is talking about people who go on LinkedIn and boast about Ubisoft failing “directly” to the employees. Not really a ‘gamers are the problem and that’s why we failed’ but a ‘hey everybody, stop talking about our failures and look over there at these terrible people’
Of course these millionaire executives are so disconnected from reality that they blame the customer for their failures.
That’s a healthy take from upper management, if I’ve ever seen one. /s
“It’s the gamers fault that we destroy games!” Uh-huh…
“well, I never!”
-people who aren’t a never, and in fact are an always.
Interestingly I am from the US where Ubisoft itself is legally considered a “non-decent human”… which makes this a classic case of “the pot calling the kettle black” except it is more like “the pot handle calling the kettle black” since Ubisoft is the person and the finance director is just an organ of that person (which organ I leave up to the readers imagination).
The irony is strong with this one.
Lol these clowns. They’ll have to come up with a whole new song & dance routine if they ever expect another red cent from me.
Eh. Maybe in a -90% sale.
Guys Ubisoft’s mom came to school and asked us to stop picking on them.
Comparing this to bullying is very poor taste
