MODERATORS
The tweet linked in the article is from a dude who bitches about the "uglification of women" in games and Ubisoft being too focused on DEI. The post the article is about is clearly talking about people like him. The fact that there's only one other comment here calling this out tells me either nobody actually looked into this at all because you're all too excited to dogpile Ubisoft and don't even care why, or you agree. Both are worrying.
People can be correct about something for the wrong reasons.
This guy is a bellend, there's plenty of reasons to cheer on the demise of Ubisoft without having to be a "DEI is in the room with us" obsessive like Grummz, and ignoring that because it's easier to call the people who don't like you chuds shows a similar level of detachment from reality.
Ubisoft's fuckups are too numerous to list, and the latest one was indeed too fall for a swindler who convinced them to try and sell one of the least marketable ideas in history, but the volume of sales lost is not in the same order of magnitude as the politically obsessed lunatics online on either side of this conversation, blaming them is like blaming sharks for all animal related deaths.
