As if Ubisoft’s writing wasn’t wooden enough.

All my stars for you. 

Ubisoft Ghost writer?

I’d be shocked if he knew cared about the difference between a vagina and a belly button.

Please. The man probably thinks a woman carries the baby in her digestive system like that Idaho representative a few years back.

In a perfect world, a judge would read out his sentence, pause for effect, and finish with “not in Minecraft”.

Yeah, it was basically that their research said they needed to get a certain lead over Sony during first year and just launching early wouldn’t do that (look at the Dreamcast), it needed everything to come together toward that early lead goal. Exclusive games, early launch, good price, solid hardware. They sank a lot…

I mean, yeah he obviously shouldn’t have done it in the first place, but arguably what he’s doing now is better than a lame-ass apology and moving on until it is forgotten.

Everyone buys assets even the AAA studios. Games are just too big to make everything from scratch every time. Everything from full animations, textures/materials, fonts, code/scripts/programs, 3d/2d art, if it is in a game it is for sale. Epic is just one place you can buy such assets from. There are a multitude of…

Honestly, appreciate their openness to give a response about the situation and actually provide a “fix”. When I first heard about this story I figured that would also be the last I would hear and the dev would just go silent about it.  Interesting that you can just buy animation/game assets from Epic, I had no idea…

It’s March. Stop hanging out in November.

When someone who has power over you at your workplace propositions you for sex, they have enormous ability to punish you for saying no or continue harassment afterwards.

It is orders of magnitude more dangerous and damaging than internet commentators - and those aren’t harmless, either.

It’s weird though, for me it’s pure laziness, honestly. I sometimes fire up a game, that has the temerity to ask me to fill in my email address and I will just play something else. It’s terrible, because plenty of other games, I’m signing up for the whole deal, newsletters, rights to my corpse for display purposes…

“offends people who wanted this to be another Arkham game.”

Too bad GOTG didn’t sell as well as it should and every VG Executive will point to that as the reason why not to follow that. I loved that game and had high hopes for Suicide Squad  be like GOTG or build on the 2 character switch in Arkham Knights (like the Catwoman or Nightwing missions)

Probably too little, too late to make this game an interesting single-player experience with depth and story, like the Guardians of the Galaxy game. To take all of the looter-shooter elements out of the game would probably ruin the whole thing (even moreso).

If you read the very bottom of the original article they state that the issue was internal studio HR was not passing issues up the chain to microsoft. Once microsoft found out about the issue they intervened and conditions improved.

Microsoft’s track record is actually pretty good in that respect. a recent example is Undead Labs. Microsoft typically stays hands off studios to give them creative freedom but when issues came out about the studio they stepped in and from the employees that have talked about it there was a solid improvement in the…

Honestly I just wish they would sign the deal and be done with it so working conditions at activbliz can improve and I can finally play the campaign for Back Ops 2 without paying $30+ for a decade old game.

I just want what is worst for all companies involved, is that too much to ask?
