not necessarily, more likely the hierarchy is a mess, no one pays attention/cares, leading to policies not getting followed. there will always be idiots not understanding the limits of their job, be it generating gold/items for guild mates or intervene in pve/pvp etc. (which I've seen happen personally, difference being those people got fired on the spot).

in ubisoft's case I wouldn't put it past them it's some lowlevel support DEI hire they're too afraid to reprimand to not appear racist, or a DEI hire in a senior/management position simply sucking at the job (support especially is a low requirement position, perfect place to park DEI hires to hit a quota).

Maybe it did not go all the way up but people with power knew and did nothing or even helped them. I do not care about the reason, I care that the theft happened.

It's also not much different to being a salaryman doing basic data entry 10 hours a day for 50 years. The Japanese existence is one big Ubisoft game so I'm not surprised they eat up checklist simulators.

but in that case you know your livelyhood depends on it and there will be checks and reviews. menial labor is different if you do it out of your own choice with low stakes and whatever outcome you deem acceptable to yourself.
same reason germans like simulation games.

Exactly, it's like how people don't bat an eye when media set in the Classical era has Roman soldiers all decked out in the lorica segmentata and the simplified Gallic-style Imperial helmet even when both are anachronistic, or how media set in the medieval era often runs with the High Medieval period but still throws in weapons and armor from the Late Medieval period. Hell, some weapons, like many two-handed swords, wouldn't even be invented in the Medieval period, but in the Early Modern period. But people don't bat an eye because it looks "Medieval enough", however if they put in niggers and far east Asians running around in a game set in Medieval Europe people who aren't completely demoralized would find issue with it because it's just too far-fetched, it just never happened.

I don't understand, how do these niggers help us sell medieval games?

"Medieval games?"

Japan

People keep talking about sales in Japan but usually the series doesn't even do a million there (at least not before typical Ubisoft price-dropping.) Japan's opinion on the game really does not matter. What matters is that weebs and casuals in the west want something that at least purports to be real Japan and this just clearly is not it, plus the Yasuke gameplay being reported as unfun and all the cultural debate about lefty social values in media and, welp, sounds like it could be the block upon which Ubisoft's head is chopped.

It's still soul-crushing and unfulfilling, especially if you're not doing it to provide for a family but simply to finance your continued existence; like you're trapped inside a Radiohead song.

only from the outside, it's easy to escape the bleakness of neet life grinding purple pixels in WoW.
escapism has many forms, and not limited to neets.
 
Ubisoft has been adding Steam achievements to a lot of their older titles recently. Supposedly this link gives a list of all of the Ubisoft games with achievements, but I noticed some of their games that added achievements this month don't show up there. I think some of the titles that just added them haven't updated the "Steam Achievements" tag on the storefront yet.

This has me thinking Ubisoft is improving Steam support in case they can't afford to keep their servers online to host their games. They could make their Ubisoft Connect product keys redeemable on Steam so they don't get sued if they turn their servers off.

I'm pretty sure that Steam doesn't actually provide game servers, so if Ubi turned theirs off the games would be dead either way. My guess is this is just their tacit way of admitting that Ubisoft Connect is dead, and they need Steam.
 
Where are the leakers from? If it's the Middle East then it's because sellers there don't give a single shit about breaking official release dates and start selling games as soon as they get them in stock.

Hey, remember McDizzle who pretended to be a Ubisoft employee to be whistleblowing Smash JT until he admitted he was only pretending just to trick him and other YouTube ranters? Ubisoft now found out about this, and they send a Cease & Desist letter to Smash JT instead of focusing on McDizzle pretending to be a Ubisoft employee. First Alyssa Mercante is suing him, now Ubisoft.

That doesn't automatically mean lawsuit. Unless he fails to comply by taking down the fake bullshit, which he SHOULD have done and issued a retraction when he found out it was fake.
