This is literally cult like preaching at this point. Also a game set in feudal japan (with chinese architecture) where a black guy is murdering japanese people (violently might i add) with hip hop music is "historical authenticity"? Fascinating.
i love the "history is diverse". mf thinks airplanes always existed or something. history isnt diverse, most people couldnt afford to leave their town. america really was the first in the whole diversity with mass immigration after finding north america but like.. most nations sitll arent diverse. this whole diversity is really a new concept and throwing it around in old times is crazy.
hell, japan still isnt diverse. black and white people are honestly pretty rare and normally tourists. fully integrated black and white people in japan are not that common as say mexican or black in america.
They're bucking to get into politics. Actual politics, like senate seats. Destroying their company, ruining the lives of everyone who works there, and denouncing capitalism is part of proving their fealty.
Like MidnightLost01 said, they will still blame gamers. That because the gamers didn't submit to their ideals Ubisoft was forced to put themselves in this position, so it's the gamer's fault. An absolute cult perspective.

It should, but they will label all of Japan as a racist enterprise that needs to be thought of as white adjacent. That is how they have been responding to this entire thing. Someone tells them wtf is this erasure of japanese culture and they respond with shut up white guy, you dont matter. Its really consistent. There are entire published articles with titles like that. Blaming white people and far right gamers for existing. They are making it all up for a boogey man so they can label you as being horrible. They are projecting because you refuse to accept their communist marxism. They are a cult of jewish worshippers. Communism is jewish. They carry communist flags and rally communist parties while pushing open borders eugenics genocide CONSTANTLY with race replacement. If you dont accept it, you are labeled a racist. Its a very oriented and easy to identify jewish supremacy system they have publish in hundreds of books. They are and always were the international slave owners and they want their slave system back. They HATE white people for stopping it. Historically only one people fought them and won. Now they want the world to erase them and enslave themselves AGAIN. "The ultimate goal is the forcible-coordination of all countries of the world: That shall be achieved by mixing the races with the goal to create a light brown race in Europe. For that reason, 1.5 million immigrants from the third world shall migrate to Europe every year. The result would be a population with an average IQ of 90 that is too dumb to grasp anything, but intelligent enough to work. The European countries would never again be competitors in the struggle for global domination and a multiple millennia old culture would be destroyed. Irrational people who will fight against this 'mingling of races', and put up any resistance against the global world order, should be killed." - Thomas P.M. Barnett, Jew, director of the Israeli military consultancy 'Wikistrat' in his book 'The Pentagon's New Map', 2004 “Forbid the Whites to mate with Whites.

Thus the White Race will disappear, for the mixing of the dark with the White means the end of the White Man, and our most dangerous enemy will become only a memory.

Ubisoft is still pushing for the historical african samurai meme I see, even when we don't even know if he was from africa, the only thing we know is that he was a slave all his life and that after his death his name is still exploited to make money. Poor guy.
Would've most likely been from deeper/southern parts of Africa since he was a properly dark black man (first thing Nobunaga did was to have him bathed because such dark skin seemed impossible to those that lived their while lives in Japan), although his status as Samurai is debated and he certainly didn't die as one since he left the country not too long after his lord's death, which was a reasonable act given how he would have been treated by most Japanese at the time. His departure also marks the end of his relevance to Japanese history since he had no particular achievements or descendants in the country. Not being involved with any of the major players of the time means that they stopped paying attention to him and he faded into obscurity to appear on occasion as more of a novelty in works of fiction.
@@Japaneseanimeguy Yeah but what they are going to probably be doing is claiming that he faked leaving. Even tho a 6 foot black guy in ceremonial armor stands out like nothing else. And pass this off as a what if or something similar alternative historical fiction. But I really have a hard time buying that he would have any backing from the Oda clan after Nobunaga died, so he'll be a pennyless ronin. As for what the truth of what he did is most likely to have been based on what we know? He was a show piece, the Oda clan showed him off with feats of his strength and the novelty of someone with dark brown skin to nobles.
@@phantomthunder203 Yasuke faked getting deported out Japan and secretly unified Japan? lol. Ubisoft political agenda couldn't be more obvious. The only samurai with golden armor was Maeda Toshiie. Yes he was one of the leading generals of "The Demon King" but Toshiie had his own money, clan to back him up. Moreover Takatora Todo was 6ft3 and we know he worked for the 3 Unifiers. And somehow Yasuke the servant is above them in rank etc because he was the only black servant of Nobunaga...This is so direspectful. No wonder Japan is pissed.
They'd be more sympathetic if it were Stockholm syndrome. This dude in particular is just a narcissist who just wants you to know he's a hero in his own mind.
Except that means the CEO could step in and take total control of the company of it goes private, and he's the one pushing all this so it could get worse.
You can't claim artistic liberties while at the same time claiming to be historically accurate when Yusuke has been proven endlessly that he was never a samurai.
Seriously. I’ve been wondering when they will start actually paying people to play their games. Giving it away for free is not enticing enough for this crap.
Even if I was paid to play DEI infected "games", I still will refuse to touch them, not even if they pay me enough to be financially stable for the rest of my life, the answer will still be NO!
It's hardly new to use tax money for "art". I think we will see alot more of that in the future. For our governements, a few AAA games per year is like nothing.
Okay so, this is gonna sound pretty crazy, but all of these companies signed on with Blackrock (an investment and acquisitions company). All of these companies took loans from said company, but to receive the money they needed to meet Blackrocks expectations, and had to work with consultants of their choosing. The idea from the outside was sold to be "more inclusive" but honestly in reality they set out to tank these franchises. When these companies are unable to pay back what they owe, Blackrock then can opt to dissolve the company as an acquisition and add it's net worth to it's own. You see a successful game may pay them out a few million, but the total worth of these Studio's is much much more. It would be interesting to look into who created these Consultant Groups, and where they got their start up cash from. I can't back this up, but it seems rather fishy.
My thoughts are exactly the same. What companies like Blackrock seem to want to do is return to the age of monopolies and robber barons, where they accumulate increasing control over industries by buying up companies that their ideas tanked for pennies on the dollar.
I mean... It kinda makes sense if you consider how Concord could spend upto 400M in order to get released. You'd think that if they couldn't do it in a budget, the company would have put a stop to it long ago...
4:25 Studios such as Ubisoft actually receive large kickbacks from Blackrock for including DEI in their product. The kickback from Blackrock could actually be higher than the projected lifetime sale of the game. Investors probably love DEI for this reason.
what evidence do you have that BlackRock is doing anything more than loans? using funds fraudulently is a big accusation and need big evidence. It is important to stay accurate in your claims. throwing unsubstantiated claims make us look bad. stick to the facts.
The suits are getting the kickbacks. The devs are just happy to push "the message." The industry is full of woke liberals just hoping to get a platform, they dont care about the business making profit or taking loss.
The main reason to postpone the release date of AC Shadows was to let the controversy die down so it won't affect the sells (as a couple of months should not allow to made big changes to the game). It doesn't help them that their developers and even the CEO keep putting more fuel into their own fire instead of trying to put it down.
Nah it's about having scapegoats. Monster Hunter and Yakuza both release games next february. AssCreed will not be able to compete with em, so they'll blame the games for their failure
Can tell it's all lies when their story changes constantly... It's historically accurate, it's NOT historically accurate, it's diverse, gamers are bad, Yauske was actually a samurai...
If i had a big sack of money i would avoid this company at all costs. Self admitted with a smug smile they willingly flushed thousands of jobs millions of dollars and a priceless name.
@kennyevilmonkey even some indie games that were made by small developers, is more polished and rewarding the player with beautiful stories and fun gameplay
@@Nevir202 Then what's your theory as to why they are intentionally making their product less profitable? It's something companies don't want to do, never mind the shareholder repercussions. IMO, the CEO would never prioritize politics over profit unless there's something shady going on.
Its quite simple. The company tanks, Blackrock buys it up. The higher ups get into the next company or politics. The activists into the next company, or paid with out tax dollars. Or forced grifts like SBI, forced for a loan from them. Nothing except Blackrock remains.
@@LuigiTheMetal64 You kidding me? Speedrunners are about as pro gamers as it gets. They might not 100% a game, but they sure know the tricks and exploits.
Musk simply said "DEI kills art" and dude needed a _mindfullness_ session to chill out and process it?? I really wonder how some people survive in this world.
Funny how the CEO said they aren't pushing an agenda but then the Lead for this game comes out and says they are pushing an agenda. The CEO literally lied to the shareholders.
"...in a world that grows increasingly divided." Yeah, and those stories, their lack of respect for facts and historical accuracy, their inability to take any sort of criticism, and their attacks against and dismissal of their critics is part of why the world is growing increasingly divided.
What did anyone expect, Game Jurnos call Alan wake a success when the Studio behind it posted that they now "almost" made the money back for marketing and development, we call it a success when you still make 0 profit. DragonAge Veilguard has shown that Jurnos will go out of their way to make sure a false narrative is plastered all over the web, and it won't be any different if AC shadows comes out.
Not surprised by the outcome. They choose to be a part of the problem because solving it would mean admitting to both the public and *themselves* that they were wrong about their actions, and people like them would rather die than admit that they're ever wrong about anything.
Eurogammer isn't who they need to sell the game to. They need to sell the game to us. This game is going to bomb. They're making all the moves of a company who knows they got a shit product and are trying to shore up their support before release.
Ubisoft, more like UbiBROKE What is these people's obsession with losing money? They know it hurts sales, but they keep doing it, intentionally doubling down. They must hate making money.
I just watched the trailer eariler. Its dumb...like Metal Wolf Chaos Levels of dumb. And I love that kind of dumb. Like its not taking itself seriously. It looks like a fun game. And thats what every game should be. No pandering to a small group of people. Just make something that people will enjoy.
@@dontaedon5182 Fun fact: It was made by Chinese. A Chinese-made game about Japanese takeover in America in alternate conclusion of WW2 starring a Japanese MC with Japanese-Chinese style fusion weebing brainrot on the streets. I got the feeling as if this game is delivering a huge frickin' middle as a statement to DEI. Embrace the weebness.
"DEI is killing our business, but we will still put DEI in our business." Reminds me of the Genshin boycott. Players wanted to boycott the game without actually stop playing the game. It's like a drug.
The thing with genshin boycott is, it's only on the US. Genshin is a GLOBAL phenomenon. And global player DGAF about that boycott.. And Hoyoverse sure DGAF. Hoyoverse will only move if it was the Chinese players making noise. They (boycott) are the only one making noises, come to think of it, are they the modern audiences 🤣🤣 making noises about representation.
Most of the boycotters didn't even play the game though, which was one of the primary reasons why Da Wei, the CEO of Hoyo, traveled across the globe to speak with players. He wanted to get feedback from people that actually played the game, instead of online trolls.
as a person that was raised somewhat in a Christian house i have grown to have this believe. the devil doesn't try to turn you against god. to much work. why do that went you can turn ones beliefs and virtue into a sin by turning you against others.
I love how nobody said a thing about Naoe, and the only problem, I guarantee it, that people have it with Yasuke is the fact he's not Japanese and playable instead of a fictional Japanese samurai. Give us a Japanese samurai and make Yasuke the head of the Creed in Japan, not only would make him very important, you could make him a defensive agent against the templars in order to avoid the templar control of the shogunate (literally the reason why Japan closed itself off for centuries was because they were afraid of the lunacy brought over by the religious fanatics of the Portuguese sailors [same sailors that left Yasuke in Japan]), obviously there is a parallel where instead of religion, you'd have the Templars. Not only it would be more parallel with real history, nobody would have a single problem with the game, hell, I'd wager it would be praised instead.
They don't care that it hurts sales because you're not the customer, not even the stockholders are the customers... the guys at blackrock and their friends are the customer.
The Platonic view of art is moral criticism; Plato said art only has value if it teaches "positive morals." Aristotle's view on art is dramatic construction; art only has value if it provides enjoyment and entertainment. Unfortunately the art designed by most big companies for "modern audiences" seems to purely be moral criticism.
The funniest thing is, when they make a assassins creed game next time in Africa they wont have a white or asian character as a protagonist either, how would they explain the lack of diversity then? Id love to ask this some of those mindnumb ubisoft employees
They get millions in funding to make these dei games. So unless it’s a huge loss, they literally aren’t losing nothing and the main goal was passed and that’s to push that poison onto the public, especially children. So unless it’s a giant flop, they will continue to make money. Probably from parts that even come from your own tax dollars
They will care about this mistake once they lose their livelihoods - which they will if they do not correct course. The great about capitalim is that it will always stop derailed gravy trains. It may take a minute, but it will happen.
the CEO is trying his hardest to run the company into the ground, i wonder if he'll be in jail in a few years for scamming investors/shareholders, after all lying to shareholders is fraud.
Honestly, Yasuke should have been a quest npc. You complete his questline before main story flags are flipped, and he becomes a samurai by the the end and dies in the battle that he's known to "take part in" as an honorable warrior and man, because those are traditional Japanese values. If you don't do them all, the real history plays out and he survives. Anyone who wants real representation would have done this.
I mean at this point they can say whatever they want, they can say it was a mistake or double down on it, it won't change or save the game, they won't rebuild it from the ground up.
i regret thinking about giving them one more chance to make things right but i was too naïve to think that, well time to delete my ubisoft account and yes i am announcing my departure but no ubisoft. you are worst than the airport, thank you for the years of good and bad times.
"Our staff faces lies, half truths and personal attacks" Says company that lies, clings to half truths and whose employees personally attack any dissidents
Every Playable Character before Shadows was a fictional person but now in bad faith get a person who actually existed in Yasuke mainly for brownie points
Tbh at this point im fine with them collapsing, I can play old games and mods for those games far longer than they can afford to not have my money. The long game doesnt favor yhem unless they somehow completely destroy any and all evidence of all games before they started tanking things, and then they'd have to keep anyone from making any games that are like the old games they destroyed. They'd have to burn every copy and every history book they didn't approve to pull out a win, and that's why they won't win.
Dustborn couldn't even crack a hundred players on Steam. Concord couldn't even last two weeks. Shadows couldn't even be released on time nor be accepted, not even by the usual Ubislop crowd. Outlaws couldn't sell well. Veilguard did better but not by much, nowhere near enough to be considered a success. But they want to keep trying this shit? Well, if they want to kill their own employment who am I to stop them? I have a mountain of games to pass my time with.
Yup, the CEO of Ubisoft is having a meltdown burning himself and they’re taking the company with them. He’s lost his sanity years ago. Elon musk is right DEI kills art and creativity. 😂🤣😂🤣
Meanwhile, Chinese are making a game that is very much what happen if Yakuza meet Fallout with Showa era culture. I remember a jpn twitter user asking how China can make a game so hilariously offensive yet so flattering to the Japanese.
I think a woman in medieval Japan can make sense very easily. Just make her a ninja. It was fairly common for them to send women to extract information or to assassinate someone. Yasuke though. I can't think of any situation for him to be present.
What no one seems to have considered is that perhaps this is sabotage on purpose. Not by Ubisoft itself, but by malcontents inside who think they are insulated from the destruction and that shareholders and leadership at the top weren’t able to see the sabotage because game leads made sure they couldn’t until it was too late.
Love how they make up controversies, no one has a problem with Nawe, and if they had, you can just point to Syndicate, which also had a Woman protagonist
So they acknowledge the problem as in fact a problem, but they double down on the problem instead of doing something different? Can't describe that as anything other than a cult mentality.
DEI killing art is real. that rule can be applied to anything. focusing on to much of one things causes it to lose its general image/message. A company too focused on money will lose the respect and effort of employee's, an artist that focuses too much on colors looses the meaning behind the picture, and a game that focuses too much on inclusion loses its grasp of story for a gold star from twitter users.
This is illegal, by the way. They are admitting to making moves that know won't make money, which is against their fiduciary duty to their shareholders.
How have these consults and shit not been taken to court? They're going out of their way to intimidate and threaten companies, that's gotta be against some law.
5:25 the only discussion i have seen about her is about her description as kunoichi (i believe, its been a while) while not having any yet seen connection to that line of assasinarion (poisons, seductions, stuff like that). That and the forced 2 character instead of choice like in the past few games.
They still want to make money, at least the out-of-touch higher-ups do, but these consulting companies and even their own employees have convinced them that preaching far-left nonsense is the way to go, and if they just push a little harder, they will surely find the mythical modern audience.

great game, really great game
never played it, but great game
;D
Calling a thing a thing does not make it that thing. When it's not that thing? It only shows the incompetence of the speaker.
@@Relkond the thing is, the thing isnt it
right?
;D
Triple A slop is still triple A slop no matter how you try to defend it or spin it triple a defending morons.😢😂
When did we devolve so much as a species that such a simple and obvious joke is not understood anymore?
The whole AAA industry has DEI Stockholm syndrome
They tried to p°ss on us and tell us that it is raining. Good job people did not let this slide.
Look..I just want more games like NieR: Automata, Skullgirls (before the censorship), and Steller Blade. I know, it's asking a lot.
They'd be more sympathetic if it were Stockholm syndrome. This dude in particular is just a narcissist who just wants you to know he's a hero in his own mind.

I don't know what that means, but right back at you!
Quoting one Polish youtuber to those people of Ubisoft "did it burt falling form the high of your ego to your IQ"
"Did it hurt falling from the height of your ego to the depths of your IQ?" I'm definitely stealing this.
It’s as if they’re talking to themselves or investors in a panicked fashion
“But…but…we put loads of DEI in…why…why isn’t it working…”
Am I so out of touch? No. It's the chuds who are wrong.
So they're admitting they're not doing their fidicuary duty and are opening themselves up to lawfare. Brilliant.
Another Reason to not grieve when shareholders sell Ubisoft out.
As they should do. Investors spend their money with expectations of good profits, not transforming the company into a religious cult.
Except that means the CEO could step in and take total control of the company of it goes private, and he's the one pushing all this so it could get worse.
@@benschultz1784 Well they did that to themselves.
@@benschultz1784 I don't have a problem if he wants to burn his money on making propaganda that is ignored.
You're assuming those shareholders won't sue him into oblivion for violating his fiduciary duty in favor of ideology.
Back in my day, businesses can only run if they made a profit
Too many woke sponsors supporting woke agendas
You can't claim artistic liberties while at the same time claiming to be historically accurate when Yusuke has been proven endlessly that he was never a samurai.
Seriously. I’ve been wondering when they will start actually paying people to play their games. Giving it away for free is not enticing enough for this crap.
They need a lot more funding from blackrock to do that. But i absolutely can see that happening in a future lol.
Keep an eye on the specific people who will get review copies. They only pay those guys.
Even if I was paid to play DEI infected "games", I still will refuse to touch them, not even if they pay me enough to be financially stable for the rest of my life, the answer will still be NO!
It wouldn't surprise me if they did that because this has never been about profits. It's about prop4ganda.
It's hardly new to use tax money for "art". I think we will see alot more of that in the future. For our governements, a few AAA games per year is like nothing.
Okay so, this is gonna sound pretty crazy, but all of these companies signed on with Blackrock (an investment and acquisitions company). All of these companies took loans from said company, but to receive the money they needed to meet Blackrocks expectations, and had to work with consultants of their choosing. The idea from the outside was sold to be "more inclusive" but honestly in reality they set out to tank these franchises. When these companies are unable to pay back what they owe, Blackrock then can opt to dissolve the company as an acquisition and add it's net worth to it's own.
You see a successful game may pay them out a few million, but the total worth of these Studio's is much much more. It would be interesting to look into who created these Consultant Groups, and where they got their start up cash from. I can't back this up, but it seems rather fishy.
My thoughts are exactly the same. What companies like Blackrock seem to want to do is return to the age of monopolies and robber barons, where they accumulate increasing control over industries by buying up companies that their ideas tanked for pennies on the dollar.
I mean... It kinda makes sense if you consider how Concord could spend upto 400M in order to get released.
You'd think that if they couldn't do it in a budget, the company would have put a stop to it long ago...
Blackrock is the world's largest asset manager. It's focus is strengthening and expanding jewish influence on gentiles.
an intentional sabotage on the highest levels. I mean, it makes sense and would be a smart (and underhanded) move...
Wouldn't surprise me.
4:25 Studios such as Ubisoft actually receive large kickbacks from Blackrock for including DEI in their product. The kickback from Blackrock could actually be higher than the projected lifetime sale of the game. Investors probably love DEI for this reason.
I guarantee if companies like Blackrock didn’t exist and companies pushed this.
Investors would bail so fast
what evidence do you have that BlackRock is doing anything more than loans? using funds fraudulently is a big accusation and need big evidence. It is important to stay accurate in your claims. throwing unsubstantiated claims make us look bad. stick to the facts.
where tf does that company get all the money from ? if they already did that with tons of games and shows. like wtf. at some point they gotta run out
The suits are getting the kickbacks. The devs are just happy to push "the message." The industry is full of woke liberals just hoping to get a platform, they dont care about the business making profit or taking loss.
Bl@ckrock is one of the enem°es of human°ty.
The main reason to postpone the release date of AC Shadows was to let the controversy die down so it won't affect the sells (as a couple of months should not allow to made big changes to the game). It doesn't help them that their developers and even the CEO keep putting more fuel into their own fire instead of trying to put it down.
Just like how Suicide Squad went quiet for a year because of the backlash to the live-service stuff, only to release it without changing anything.
The month it is to be released is also black history month too right?
@@vexile1239 yes, that was also a possible reason.
@@cybertramon0012 And disgracing Deadshot's story and MO by putting his daughter on the frontlines.
Nah it's about having scapegoats. Monster Hunter and Yakuza both release games next february. AssCreed will not be able to compete with em, so they'll blame the games for their failure
That's too bad. They don't care.. Neither do I. I'll be just fine 🤷♂
There are so many games worth buying, instead of this slop
Can tell it's all lies when their story changes constantly...
It's historically accurate, it's NOT historically accurate, it's diverse, gamers are bad, Yauske was actually a samurai...
These commys won ww2. The winners write history. Enjoy the fruits of your labor.
Ace Attorney taught them nothing.
If i had a big sack of money i would avoid this company at all costs.
Self admitted with a smug smile they willingly flushed thousands of jobs millions of dollars and a priceless name.
I don't think they understand that you can't intimidate gamers 😂
I mean, what can they do to us? Make us buy their games? No thanks, I'll happily save my money to buy a better product. Like Monster Hunter Wilds.
@kennyevilmonkey true
@kennyevilmonkey even some indie games that were made by small developers, is more polished and rewarding the player with beautiful stories and fun gameplay
@alfimarisryun3048 that's true
I've dealt with bosses like Whitney, Nergigante, and Demyx.
They ain't scaring me.
...so the real question is, *why don't they care.*
The long con.
Doing the same thing over and over and expect different result is not stupidity but insanity
the logic of businesses is:
we keep doing it, so it must "obviously" work, wy else would we do it?
It's about propaganda and pushing the narrative. Money is nothing to these ✡b💰nks.
Literal crime for a publicly traded company to intentionally do things that harm profitability.
Of course, nobody will be held to account.
They get a sweet Blackrock payout by including this stuff, my guess is that it's more profitable to keep it in.
@@jextra1313 They are government puppets, there is nothing illegal to them.
@@jextra1313 You can say that, but revenue reports disagree. And if they are falsifying those, that's an EVEN BIGGER crime.
@@Nevir202 Then what's your theory as to why they are intentionally making their product less profitable? It's something companies don't want to do, never mind the shareholder repercussions. IMO, the CEO would never prioritize politics over profit unless there's something shady going on.
Its quite simple. The company tanks, Blackrock buys it up. The higher ups get into the next company or politics. The activists into the next company, or paid with out tax dollars. Or forced grifts like SBI, forced for a loan from them. Nothing except Blackrock remains.
Ubisoft is speedrunning their downfall
And giant snowball is coming
Speedrunners never play video games. Video game players play video games.
@@LuigiTheMetal64 You kidding me? Speedrunners are about as pro gamers as it gets. They might not 100% a game, but they sure know the tricks and exploits.
@@SupersuMC Are speedrunners Metallica listeners? Don't answer because you already did, which is a "yes".
Musk simply said "DEI kills art" and dude needed a _mindfullness_ session to chill out and process it??
I really wonder how some people survive in this world.
Those three words are so simple yet becomes more profound as they get triggered and acting like Karens.
Should be a message for any investor that Your just losing money investing in this company
Blackrock and Vanguard don't care. They have billions to burn.
Not just in that company, but in EVERY DEI-related entity or company. Seen what happened with SBI?
@@ThatchNetherfold Yep. They're now more powerful than ever.
Funny how the CEO said they aren't pushing an agenda but then the Lead for this game comes out and says they are pushing an agenda. The CEO literally lied to the shareholders.
"...in a world that grows increasingly divided."
Yeah, and those stories, their lack of respect for facts and historical accuracy, their inability to take any sort of criticism, and their attacks against and dismissal of their critics is part of why the world is growing increasingly divided.
This is why it's always the passive-voice whining. Hoping you haven't noticed who's been putting in the real legwork to make that division happen.
What did anyone expect, Game Jurnos call Alan wake a success when the Studio behind it posted that they now "almost" made the money back for marketing and development, we call it a success when you still make 0 profit.
DragonAge Veilguard has shown that Jurnos will go out of their way to make sure a false narrative is plastered all over the web, and it won't be any different if AC shadows comes out.
Not surprised by the outcome. They choose to be a part of the problem because solving it would mean admitting to both the public and *themselves* that they were wrong about their actions, and people like them would rather die than admit that they're ever wrong about anything.
Eurogammer isn't who they need to sell the game to. They need to sell the game to us. This game is going to bomb. They're making all the moves of a company who knows they got a shit product and are trying to shore up their support before release.
Ubisoft, more like UbiBROKE
What is these people's obsession with losing money? They know it hurts sales, but they keep doing it, intentionally doubling down. They must hate making money.
More like Ubroke
Meanwhile Showa American Story is more Japanese than this slop.
I just watched the trailer eariler. Its dumb...like Metal Wolf Chaos Levels of dumb. And I love that kind of dumb. Like its not taking itself seriously. It looks like a fun game. And thats what every game should be.
No pandering to a small group of people. Just make something that people will enjoy.
@@dontaedon5182 Fun fact: It was made by Chinese. A Chinese-made game about Japanese takeover in America in alternate conclusion of WW2 starring a Japanese MC with Japanese-Chinese style fusion weebing brainrot on the streets.
I got the feeling as if this game is delivering a huge frickin' middle as a statement to DEI. Embrace the weebness.
They're bragging about their own self-destruction.
"DEI is killing our business, but we will still put DEI in our business."
Reminds me of the Genshin boycott. Players wanted to boycott the game without actually stop playing the game. It's like a drug.
The thing with genshin boycott is, it's only on the US. Genshin is a GLOBAL phenomenon. And global player DGAF about that boycott.. And Hoyoverse sure DGAF. Hoyoverse will only move if it was the Chinese players making noise.
They (boycott) are the only one making noises, come to think of it, are they the modern audiences 🤣🤣 making noises about representation.
Most of the boycotters didn't even play the game though, which was one of the primary reasons why Da Wei, the CEO of Hoyo, traveled across the globe to speak with players. He wanted to get feedback from people that actually played the game, instead of online trolls.
@@SpenzOT even worse than I thought
as a person that was raised somewhat in a Christian house i have grown to have this believe. the devil doesn't try to turn you against god. to much work. why do that went you can turn ones beliefs and virtue into a sin by turning you against others.
Well it is gambling after all.
We've reached "It's happening and it's a good thing, actually!"
Course correction isn’t even an option anymore. Ubisoft is cooked.
Ubisoft sure is unwilling to pull a Barve
Oof. 😂 That's gonna become a meme, ain't it?
Ubisoft can't go bankrupt fast enough.
I love how nobody said a thing about Naoe, and the only problem, I guarantee it, that people have it with Yasuke is the fact he's not Japanese and playable instead of a fictional Japanese samurai. Give us a Japanese samurai and make Yasuke the head of the Creed in Japan, not only would make him very important, you could make him a defensive agent against the templars in order to avoid the templar control of the shogunate (literally the reason why Japan closed itself off for centuries was because they were afraid of the lunacy brought over by the religious fanatics of the Portuguese sailors [same sailors that left Yasuke in Japan]), obviously there is a parallel where instead of religion, you'd have the Templars.
Not only it would be more parallel with real history, nobody would have a single problem with the game, hell, I'd wager it would be praised instead.
Nolan Bushnell would've thought twice back in the 70's if he foresaw this.
"Broadest possible audience" said audience is more fictional than my self-esteem.
I can hear Ubisoft investors partaking in skydiving without parachutes as we speak
There's actually about a one in ten grand chance of surviving that.
Me reading the title feels like reading a masochist describing their relationship with a very toxic sadist and loving it.
They don't care that it hurts sales because you're not the customer, not even the stockholders are the customers... the guys at blackrock and their friends are the customer.
The Platonic view of art is moral criticism; Plato said art only has value if it teaches "positive morals."
Aristotle's view on art is dramatic construction; art only has value if it provides enjoyment and entertainment.
Unfortunately the art designed by most big companies for "modern audiences" seems to purely be moral criticism.
The irony is what these companies are making don’t fulfill either definition.
If they don't care, then neither do I since I dont care to buy their shit. Plain and simple.
The funniest thing is, when they make a assassins creed game next time in Africa they wont have a white or asian character as a protagonist either, how would they explain the lack of diversity then? Id love to ask this some of those mindnumb ubisoft employees
When? I think it's more of a big if at this point.
11:21 Ironically enough, one of the in-universe core tenets of assassin's creed always was "Nothing is true, everything is permitted"
You reap what you sow, Ubisoft. You reap what you sow.
Ohh, so shareholders are being openly told by the CEO, that sales are going to suffer? Yh right, thats going to go well
They get millions in funding to make these dei games. So unless it’s a huge loss, they literally aren’t losing nothing and the main goal was passed and that’s to push that poison onto the public, especially children. So unless it’s a giant flop, they will continue to make money. Probably from parts that even come from your own tax dollars
They have a fiduciary duty to their shareholders, yet are knowingly then hurting their brand. Hmmm.
Sweet baby inc. was born from Ubisoft. They are the worst of them all.
It's okay. They can make their game for their "modern audience," and when it loses them hundreds of millions of dollars, none of us will care.
They will care about this mistake once they lose their livelihoods - which they will if they do not correct course. The great about capitalim is that it will always stop derailed gravy trains. It may take a minute, but it will happen.
the CEO is trying his hardest to run the company into the ground, i wonder if he'll be in jail in a few years for scamming investors/shareholders, after all lying to shareholders is fraud.
Ubisoft is purposely stepping on rakes.
Honestly, Yasuke should have been a quest npc. You complete his questline before main story flags are flipped, and he becomes a samurai by the the end and dies in the battle that he's known to "take part in" as an honorable warrior and man, because those are traditional Japanese values. If you don't do them all, the real history plays out and he survives. Anyone who wants real representation would have done this.
I mean at this point they can say whatever they want, they can say it was a mistake or double down on it, it won't change or save the game, they won't rebuild it from the ground up.
i regret thinking about giving them one more chance to make things right but i was too naïve to think that, well time to delete my ubisoft account and yes i am announcing my departure but no ubisoft. you are worst than the airport, thank you for the years of good and bad times.
so their shareholders should call for him to be fired. he doesnt want them to make more money, he wants DEI
"Our staff faces lies, half truths and personal attacks" Says company that lies, clings to half truths and whose employees personally attack any dissidents
"We don't care about losing money out of this because we'll soon be bought out anyway" would make more sense
I think you're gonna call it. LOL. Yeah it makes more sense, leaving a comment here to see and look back when this comes true.
Every Playable Character before Shadows was a fictional person but now in bad faith get a person who actually existed in Yasuke mainly for brownie points
Well hope Ubisoft enjoys going out of business then
Tbh at this point im fine with them collapsing, I can play old games and mods for those games far longer than they can afford to not have my money. The long game doesnt favor yhem unless they somehow completely destroy any and all evidence of all games before they started tanking things, and then they'd have to keep anyone from making any games that are like the old games they destroyed. They'd have to burn every copy and every history book they didn't approve to pull out a win, and that's why they won't win.
Dustborn couldn't even crack a hundred players on Steam. Concord couldn't even last two weeks. Shadows couldn't even be released on time nor be accepted, not even by the usual Ubislop crowd. Outlaws couldn't sell well. Veilguard did better but not by much, nowhere near enough to be considered a success. But they want to keep trying this shit? Well, if they want to kill their own employment who am I to stop them? I have a mountain of games to pass my time with.
Eventually the video gaming industry will collapse from the dumb decision of trying to get a modern audience that doesn't exist.
As a French, your côté was the best
Yup, the CEO of Ubisoft is having a meltdown burning himself and they’re taking the company with them.
He’s lost his sanity years ago. Elon musk is right DEI kills art and creativity. 😂🤣😂🤣
That one sentence from Elon Musk says clearly enough about EVERYTHING wrong with that game.
The funny thing is if they would make it like Cyberpunk or BG3, nobody would care about their DEI and they could probably do even more. 😂
To Ubisoft: BURN BABY BURN!!!! YOU BROUGHT THIS ON YOURSELVES!!! i AM NON-BUY-NARY!!!!! MY WALLET IS CLOSED!!!!!
Meanwhile, Chinese are making a game that is very much what happen if Yakuza meet Fallout with Showa era culture. I remember a jpn twitter user asking how China can make a game so hilariously offensive yet so flattering to the Japanese.
What makes it better? Monster Hunter Wilds releases in February too, good luck competing with that.
It's a bold strategy, Rev. Let's see if it pays off for them.
I think a woman in medieval Japan can make sense very easily. Just make her a ninja. It was fairly common for them to send women to extract information or to assassinate someone. Yasuke though. I can't think of any situation for him to be present.
Yasuke would’ve been a great comic relief character
What no one seems to have considered is that perhaps this is sabotage on purpose. Not by Ubisoft itself, but by malcontents inside who think they are insulated from the destruction and that shareholders and leadership at the top weren’t able to see the sabotage because game leads made sure they couldn’t until it was too late.
Maybe its Chinese influence, so Tencent can buy cheap IP. Maybe it's a plot to break many companies for a buy off
Chinese hate woke and DEI so no
From looking forward to new games, movies and shows to looking forward to seeing these companies go bankrupt. Weird how the turtables.
Love how they make up controversies, no one has a problem with Nawe, and if they had, you can just point to Syndicate, which also had a Woman protagonist
So they acknowledge the problem as in fact a problem, but they double down on the problem instead of doing something different? Can't describe that as anything other than a cult mentality.
DEI killing art is real. that rule can be applied to anything. focusing on to much of one things causes it to lose its general image/message. A company too focused on money will lose the respect and effort of employee's, an artist that focuses too much on colors looses the meaning behind the picture, and a game that focuses too much on inclusion loses its grasp of story for a gold star from twitter users.
Its always a game a moderation, if you tip the scales too far they tumble down.
If they were so inclusive of ideas why has there never been a game from the TEMPLAR side.
Hypocrites.
Yasuke should be a Templar agent, but Ubishit being Ubishit as usual.
This is illegal, by the way. They are admitting to making moves that know won't make money, which is against their fiduciary duty to their shareholders.
that would require the shareholders to pay attention rather than just sit back and swallow
How have these consults and shit not been taken to court? They're going out of their way to intimidate and threaten companies, that's gotta be against some law.
Time for bankruptcy :) I'm not gonna buy or even pirate anything from them

Ubisoft is a cult
5:25 the only discussion i have seen about her is about her description as kunoichi (i believe, its been a while) while not having any yet seen connection to that line of assasinarion (poisons, seductions, stuff like that). That and the forced 2 character instead of choice like in the past few games.
Man, I miss when the point of a company was to make money rather than preach far-left BS.
They still want to make money, at least the out-of-touch higher-ups do, but these consulting companies and even their own employees have convinced them that preaching far-left nonsense is the way to go, and if they just push a little harder, they will surely find the mythical modern audience.
They see the collision inbound, and instead veering out of the way and accelerating into a head on.
Ubisoft should just go back to making games
Nah, they suck lol
