Ubisoft does suck because of alphabet people, but in the sense that they toe the ideological line of the CIA and co., leading to icons like their butchery of Marx

The acquaintance is just a loser tourist who has no appreciation for Ubi sucking for a very long time and just wants to attack minorities or let others do so.

You probably misheard (or they poorly enunciated) "the Ts" for trans people, but my headcanon is that they wanted to do the d-slur for lesbians but forgot that they just said "the Ls".

They also just announced that they're closing a bunch of their studios and cancelling like six games because everything they do is crazy bloated and unsustainable (sorry, I mean AAAA). Their stock price fell like 35% this week, which is indeed because of the alphabet people, but the letters are M, B, A, C, E, and O.

God I hate anti-wokes. There are so many valid criticisms gamers could be making on games but these guys blaming marginalized groups instead of the real culprits makes real discussion impossible. Now you either have the anti-woke gamers or the other type that reject any type of criticism of games at all because complaining is now associated with the anti-woke crowd.

Baldur's Gate 3 let you choose your genitals and romance anyone you wanted. Why didn't it flop? Could it be that goodness and not-being-hostile are on separate axes? And besides, Ubisoft doesn't even register in my mind as people who give a fuck outside of a corporation where some senior fellow is going to shout the n word over and over then a Twitter account is going to be all "we want our products to be welcoming to everyone; this does not reflect our values".

Saw some chuds still salty about AC Shadows on Reddit.

Ubisoft's problem is that lobotomized MBA's are leading the company. After the AC Unity disaster, they got a win in AC Origins and instead of learning the correct lessons which is that people want innovation, they just started spamming slop RPGs for all their major franchises.

Ubisoft still published some good games after that but the studios were rewarded with lay-offs and closures. I don't see any dev being happy to work at Ubisoft. It's just a step towards switching to a stable studio.

They've been saying alphabet people for a long time

Ls, the Ds, the Gs

New sexuality discovered

"Uh, you know, the Liberals, the Democrats, the Gamers?"

One can dream...

Ubisoft has always sucked. Being a fan of their games means being able to appreciate the imperfect. They have uncut diamonds that they never ever figure out how to cut. I loved the original assassin's creed game as a kid because of the potential it showed (and because baiting 273 templars tto get one-shot counter stabbed with a dagger ruled) and every game after I played I felt the same. "There is something here" and I kept playing to get a glimpse of it. And whenever you play a sequel you can see that Ubisoft honestly thinks you're not interested in the uncut gem, but the dirt surrounding it, so they do their best to have as much dirt as possible and as few gems as possible and that's part of it too - interacting with detached frenchmen. It's like this comic if you removed all the positives of being a sports fan - the culture, camaraderie, community and so on. Just pure capitalist slop. And I used to love it.

I haven't played since far cry 4 and I haven't paid for a game since the pirate assassin's creed.

Comes from a company known to be womaizers, and union busting. Fuck Ubisoft, will continue to boycott all their slop

Haven't heard "alphabet people" in a while, but its just chuds being anti-LGBT as usual. This reminds me of something that happened here in Brasil in regards to AC Shadows:

From what I have seen Ubisoft is cooked because they are just a shitty company making shitty decisions. Just recently they publicly shamed the studio that was doing the Prince Of Persia remake, assigned another studio, and now a few days ago just cancelled the project. They also created another company under them to manage their games promising it is to give the development teams more freedom, but they sold like a 1/4 or a 1/5 of it to Tencent, which just screams that they are not doing well. That alongside a bunch of project cancellations and well, you get the picture.

"the stock price is crashing because woke !!!"

not even 2¢ down on the pre-announce hype

Ubisoft has been a pretty shit developer for a while. 20 years ago, Assassin's Creed (the first one) was a pretty impressive game with climbing, exploration, discovery, history, collection... and really, really bad fights that were often unavoidable despite the game holding itself out as a stealth game. So you could drop on a guy here and there, but for the big boss battle, you have to fight, and it's all about super tight timing.

Then they made a dozen or two more games just like it, but they got shallower and shallower. The last one was controversial to some because you play a Black guy in Japan, and historians are divided on whether or not this guy existed, some are shouting DEI and some are shouting woke and the conversation is just pushed further and further from is it a good game or not? Probably no, because Ubisoft made it, but the conversation comes down to the race of the character.

I don't care if a character is LGBTQ+ or a person of colour if the story is good, and you shouldn't either. I didn't play Life is Strange because Pricefield is an awesome ship. It's really not, it's kinda shallow, but I still had Max kiss Chloe because I didn't wanna see her kiss the guy. He came off as creepy. Chloe came off as hot but a bit problematic, which I think is the point. So lesbianism is optional in Life is Strange. In Life is Strange 2, I think it's a bit less of a choice and more, completely obvious the main guy is gay — and LiS 2 is the best of the series, gameplay wise. Though as a character I like Max more.

But that's Square Enix, Dontnod, and Deck Nine — Ubisoft would never make anything as good as Life is Strange.

Theyve been complaining about gay people and women forever.

I dont like big corpos try to pander with milquetoast gender/sexuality politics, because its not genuine most of the time. Indie games always win with that kind of thing.

you know, the Ls, the Ds, the Gs

Ubisoft, but I be hard because of Ds nuts

I'm guessing he meant LGBTQ people

yes

Is this some right wing gamer bug of the month or something? Cause I'm way outta the loop

yes, but not "of the month", basically everything that fails in gaming fails because it was queer people's fault, but when something succeeds it must be because it was a based titty game or w/e

Was a recent AssCreed protagonist gay or something? I don't recall Ubi being noteworthy for having LGBT characters.

Lesbians

Gays

"removed" ?
