Ubisoft Sellout - Bankruptcy Speedrun Any% Thread

I doubt anyone who's not an engine dev at Ubisoft even writes lines of code, they have this Scratch visual scripting shit and their recent games have been the same as the last.

How the hell did they even lose any actual coders that arn't engine related from the 2000s to the 2010s/now to the point they have to rely on some dipshit whose coding knowledge was a bunch of scratch tutorials they had to sit through in middle school?
 
Obviously they should have dropped it once they went to Italy where it was Christian-on-Christian violence, but alas, frogs gonna frog.
Not only did they not drop it they went full frog and made it even more retarded. One of the later games (Unity or maybe Syndicate) changed it from "various faiths and religious beliefs" to "various faiths, sexual orientations and gender identities"
 
Ass Creed 1 is the first game i remember having a disclaimer about how the game was made by a diverse team of niggerfaggots etc. Fuck off indeed, what a bunch of clowns.
To be fair, it was somewhat justified for that game because they were essentially taking the muslim side against the christians in the story, and since the presumption was that tensions were high in America against muslims in 2007 still, it was pragmatic to add a disclaimer to prevent outrage. I'm not justifying the practice in general though, it's just a stupid ESG justification tactic now.
 
If Nigger creed fails, whats next for ubisoft?
You want the optimistic solution or the one that they'll go for?

Optimistic solution: Go private and clean house, go to private investors to gather enough money and then do the Capcom solution: high quality remakes and nostalgia. Do a full blown remake of AC1 and the Ezio trilogy, also bring back Prince of Persia and Splinter Cell. Work with Nintendo to get a Rayman game going again all while keeping a small but highly competent team.

The one they'll go for: Sell themselves to Microsoft, Soy or Tencent.
 
Ran across this video and it seems that this entire thing is a product of ignorance and incompetence. The higher ups don't talk about it and the people working on the game don't bother to check the criticism.
Ubisoft got way too big, then #MeToo and DEI got rid of all the creatives. In an ideal world, Yves Guillemot would make Ubisoft private, shut down a bunch of unnecessary studios, fire the DEI politburo and keep the remaining few talented folks in and stop outsourcing each part of a game to different Ubi studios all over the globe that barely speak a common language.
I have not watched the video yet but I bet the issue with the art direction (Chinese architecture instead of Japanese, the Torii gate, the family emblems used without authorization, etc.) is related to the various small Ubi studios who have to make countless assets without knowing the context.

They added that in because people started getting up their ass about "Muh Islam" and "Muh Crusades", and frankly, some of it went both ways. This was 2007 and things were a bit tense back then, what with Bush still in charge and the FBI finding a schizoid Muslim to groom as a terrorist every six months, or so it seemed. Clearly "Get bent, faggots" would have been a much better thing to say in hindsight, but for a game in 2007 to pull some sort of ass-covering about how they're totally not for or against any religion whatsoever was a smart bet. Obviously they should have dropped it once they went to Italy where it was Christian-on-Christian violence, but alas, frogs gonna frog.
Yeah it's similar to why every game has to start with a warning about epilepsy. No child died of epilepsy while playing a video game but it's there because a long time ago some kid died of a seizure while his parents were out and they blamed the video games.

I agree, going private would be perfect. We have already an example with X (formerly Twitter), Musk managed to cut a lot of bloat and removed the slacktivists and the platform still works.

It's going to be Tencent, they are already in.

It was Syndicate when they added that weird train-loving tranny/tomboy/whoever and needed something to deflect any criticism.

Having the last few good games they ever made be ruined retroactively is a much worse fate than them simply going out of business.
Also
>Capcom
>"High Quality" remakes
:optimistic:

Quality aside, they sure saved the company from bankruptcy. People forget how close they were to getting bought out in the early 2010s. RE7 and the remakes, DMC5, and Street Fighter managed to clear their debt.

Ubisoft could probably make a ton of money if they remade the 2000s Prince of Persia games with better graphics and no censorship. I feel like there's a gap in the market for high quality 3D platformer/hack n' slash games right now that aren't last of us-likes or soulslikes. Maybe they could work on a good 3D beat 'em up franchise based in POP too, since the only other competition for that has been Yakuza, and now the mainline Yakuza games are turn-based.

Who the fuck puts an end date on a strike? Especially over something like RTO. Way to tell management there's no point listening to your demands or acquiescing.
Idiots cosplaying as labor activists.
At that point, it's a no call, no show. I wouldn't blame Ubisoft for firing them. It'd be funny if they just called off work with their vacation time.

When coders realize they were being underpaid in the tech sector and could make half their salary again and get away from wokeness by simply getting a proper coding job at a tech company.
Lead software dev on a Ubi product makes 110k USD. Entry level at Yahoo makes 120k, Google 200k, Apple 150k, Amazon 180k
 
>our goal is not to push any specific agenda.

Lol fuck off.
I think the reason behind ubisoft being in state it is and why they're releasing the slop they do pretty much boils down to all the staff, from top to bottom, are too shit scared to offend each other.

One retard suggests they make a first person shooter with a black gay protagonist in a wheelchair and nobody wants to say it's a bad idea, because nobody wants to be fired for racism/ableism/whatever, because some blue haired freak got offended.

If a studio is full of people walking on eggshells to avoid making the pc baby cry, of course they're going to release garbage.

Anno 117.
It's funny to see how Ubisoft completly fucked themselves with Rainbow Six Siege. Rainbow Six Siege 2 should have been in the works since 2017 and released by now instead of rebooting Ass Creed, twice. Game printed money and was bottlenecked but they still aren't working on a sequel.

Ubisoft would only get a W by removing the nigger all together
This will almost assuredly not happen but it would be hilarious if it did.
will be mildly surprised if Shadows comes out at all now.
It's way too close to done to be cancel
Henry of Chadlitz, the Slayer of Cumans and Seducer of Bath Wenches?
It's Henry! God be praised.
it's not like it will make their games fun
This is also worth noting. AC has become weird pseudo live service RPG slop which makes the games aggressively unfun to play. The last AC I played extensively was Odyssey which felt like I was forcing my dick through broken glass more often than I was ever having fun.

That being said, cutting the niggers out would make the games slightly more tolerable.
Total incel CHUD victory! Kneel foids!
