    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.

    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?

    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.

    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 deleted Cyberpunk 2077?

      It sounds to me like they’re spending too much time on social media instead of focusing on working on the game.

    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

    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).

    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.
