They get away with these excuses because idiots keep crying 'woke1!!!q!ii" whenever they see a black person. If they would stop mudding the waters then people could see the actual problems with the work.
Sounds exactly what Brad in Monetization would say
A good show
Haha fuck the customers, right?
“The gaming industry is rough at the moment, we all know it. But seeing how “gamers” react on social medias, wishing ill-fate to companies and people alike is sad. (And not only towards Ubisoft. Even though it is always the vocal minority that express themselves on social media, I was hurt, hurt and ashamed to be part of this community.”
“What is even more revolting, is coming on LinkedIn and seeing the same comments from people within the industry. On top of exposing yourself as a clearly non-decent human being, you are affecting thousands of employees that are already impacted by all the hate despite doing their best to deliver incredible experiences.”
“How can you wish a company to fail simply because they do not cater to you or that the produce does not please you is beyond me.”
“We are all on the same boat, please please please, stop spreading hate, we should all uplift each other instead of bringing each other down,” said Chassard
- company’s director for monetization, Stevy Chassard
We wish you ill fate because you’ve earned it. Because youve wished ill fate on us for years and years. Because we want other publishers to learn from your mistakes. Because we want the industry to be better.
No one hates the employees, we’re all patently aware that its the fault of shitty leaders like yourself, “Stevy”.
I only wish ill fate for the companies. At least ill enough to wake the fuck up and realise a company that sells games should never have a monetisation director.
“Companies”. As if it’s some nebulous organism that’s alive, as if the building it encompasses is independent of action.
Despite what some kangaroo american court, “Companies” are not living, independent people. They’re made of people. And if a company does something shitty or acts toxic, that’s because of the people who run it. The building, the logo, the “company” isn’t what deserves I’ll fate wished up - it’s the assholes like the monetization director.
Yes and no.
You can’t blame the director of monetization for doing his job. You can blame the owner and the board of directors for going that route.
Those decision makers are what I mean when I call out the company, not the developer that’s just doing what he’s paid for.
You can monetize in ways that can’t be summed up as “gambling”
You wouldn’t need a monetization CEO then when the mission wasn’t to implement sleazy and addicting tactics.
Yes you can? I could probably find a job kicking homeless people, that wouldn’t mean i wasn’t an awful person for taking that job. I get doing bad things to make a bag when you’re desperate, but that dude is no doubt a rich prick that could easily retire by now.
The tweet linked in the article is from a dude who bitches about the “uglification of women” in games and Ubisoft being too focused on DEI. The post the article is about is clearly talking about people like him. The fact that there’s only one other comment here calling this out tells me either nobody actually looked into this at all because you’re all too excited to dogpile Ubisoft and don’t even care why, or you agree. Both are worrying.
People can be correct about something for the wrong reasons.
This guy is a bellend, there’s plenty of reasons to cheer on the demise of Ubisoft without having to be a “DEI is in the room with us” obsessive like Grummz, and ignoring that because it’s easier to call the people who don’t like you chuds shows a similar level of detachment from reality.
Ubisoft’s fuckups are too numerous to list, and the latest one was indeed too fall for a swindler who convinced them to try and sell one of the least marketable ideas in history, but the volume of sales lost is not in the same order of magnitude as the politically obsessed lunatics online on either side of this conversation, blaming them is like blaming sharks for all animal related deaths.
We are all in the same boat Ubi, please please please stop publishing live service feces.
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 think it’s about Gamergate 2.0, “fans” attacking the new Assassin’s Creed for featuring a black samurai.
It sounds to me like they’re spending too much time on social media instead of focusing on working on the game.
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.
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.
Coming from anybody else that might be a point.
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.
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
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?
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.
Stupid clickbait article that twists the words to try and make a scandal
“It’s the gamers fault that we destroy games!” Uh-huh…
