Doesn’t surprise me. Worked about 3 years at Ubisoft every project that were not watch dogs, far cry, assassin’s creed, rainbow six or any new project that were not born from those franchises or able to fit in those molds, were pretty much shutdown.
I’m still surprise that they managed to do Child of Light, probably…

For gaming I did like the idea of linking it to their Xbox/PSN profiles requiring them to have a certain number of hours played in combination with having gotten a few achievements/trophies. It won’t stop people entirely, but they would have to get a copy of the game, install and download updates, and then still…
Issuing a product review when you haven’t actually used a product is a lie. People can protest on Twitter or wherever else. This idea that people should be able to just lie their asses off to harm someone else is disgusting.
Wait, so you’re basically saying that we should totally allow “I’ve never played this game, but based on what I’ve heard here’s my official review”?
Review bombing isn’t about someone’s actual review of the game, though. Opinions and reviews are not the same, and if someone’s review of the game is based on an opinion that lacks context, is predicated by discrimination, or was made up before even looking at the game itself, that review has no value to a site like…
Nah, its like writing a review for a book based on having watched the movie of the book. There is nuance, subtlety, pacing, gravitas, all missing from those spoilers. But also the intended use is for user reviews, so that other users can see what the user experience has been like. People’s opinions on something they…
God damnit, now I gotta wait over an entire DAY before I can review bomb something because I hate trans people? What about my first amendment rights?!
Henry Motherfucking Cavill, building a PC. You win the internet today, sir. He better be in more Superman movies!!
Me: People get jealous because he’s so attractive and famous and successful, but also paints minis and plays warhammer and is a huge PC gaming dork.
The fact that a third of the video is just him spending hours trying to figure out how to organize the cables of the liquid cooler’s radiator is disturbingly relatable.
Because it’s crime to film people in the bathroom without their consent. Especially if they’re children. The fact you don’t see anything fucked up about that says a lot about you...
That is the least credible theory. Mixer’s demise is proof that these guys can’t keep even the most lavishly funded streaming site afloat. The idea that they were gonna start their own brand new service is just utter fanboy fantasy.
Yeah, there’s zero percent chance he doesn’t know exactly why he’s been banned. If he really thought it was unfair he’d be screaming from the hills and filing lawsuits. To use his analogy:
Gonna be honest with you, I only skimmed each paragraph once I saw you open with “HR *can* help”
I won’t name him, but one of the people leading the harassment campaign was banned a few years ago from Magic the Gathering after, among other things, targeting a prominent cosplayer and causing her to leave the community (she has since returned, to much rejoicing).
Wow, no mention of Sky Williams, whose slumlord facilitated a lot of this incidents (with him claiming ignorance), who bilked people for hundreds of thousands of dollars, and who has claims against him as well?
This entire situation is absolutely insane and painful, and also incredibly unsurprising. I quit playing smash bros on a local competitive level years ago myself for similar issues. My first experience with the smash bros community at a small local event involved some weirdo repeatedly trying to show my friend and I,…
That, sadly, is how HR is built in the western world. They are there to keep the company itself safe and when problems arise where something needs to go, they make the decision on which they think would hurt the company less. Hence why you often see people file an HR complaint against senior/leadership/longtime staff…
The thing is, after reading all that about how HR is incompetent and too cosy with management to do their job proper, that people use drinking culture as a promoted perk and as the source of gaining promotion, that victims were encouraged to remain silent is that the only thing that sets Ubisoft Toronto apart from…
