"Activision? Spider-Man, No! Not even you can fix that company. You would have to be *extremely out-of-touch* and a *fucking idiot* to get involved with that company!" - Dunkey
Kirby Poyomata... Jesus, Woolie, you genius. Also, everyone's talking about Pat's face without the beard, but no one is talking about Pat's face at the end looking like his 20 laxatives all simultaneously kicked in.
Mother of god, Pat, never shave Man looks like a news cameraman who can't work in the field because they found out he wasn't allowed within 500 feet of a school
I mean, he had to because having a beard makes forming a seal with a mask impossible, which is a big concern for having to go outside to get your booster with Paige being immuno-compromised, but hey at least he didn't keep just the mustache. That's the real danger.
Grew up playing/making games, wanted to become a game developer after high-school. Went to a university across the country specifically for a game dev curriculum. In that time news came out about all the mistreatment developers endure from layoffs to sexual misconduct to death threats. I love videogames as an artform, but I've reconsidered making a career of it.
I feel like every creative industry has this problem, which is to say the music industry, film, animation, etc. Which is to say, don't make a career out of ANY of those industries. Crunch culture across the board, burning talent and replacing them with fresh new talent. So many people want to be game developers, musicians, artists, actors, actresses, cartoonists, mangaka, etc. There's so many people that want in, and every predatory producer knows this and takes advantage. It's frankly disgusting and sad how exploitative these industries are
One route is to make games yourself, or make a new creative team where sexual harassment is an instant firing. There's more outlets than just applying to mainstream studios. (And if you do get into a studio, stand tall against the bullshit going on and call it out.)
@@Peannlui Yeah that's what I'm leaning towards. There are plenty of small studios out there, though misconduct has also been found on smaller indie projects. Same could be said about most jobs, you always gotta be careful what you apply for, it's just weird how bad it got in the games space.
To expand on the last Wholesome point, I'm really happy to see SNK making great ports of all their NeoGeo Pocket games. Its so nice to be able to play them on modern console.
25% victims or witnesses to sexual harrassment leaves a lot of ambiguity for interpretations. Harrassment doesn't usually just have one witness. If a male leader calls a female employee "honey" during an org meeting, hundreds of people are now checking "yes" on the survey, even though they're all thinking of one perpetrator and one event.
Yeah, it's frustrating to watch them extrapolating statistics to come up with a claim of "Every single day there is a sex crime. at each of these Ubisoft companies" when the stat shows 3500 employees have witnessed some instance of sexual harassment/abuse. Which is still gross but not the same thing. Pat, if you see this, stop incorrectly using isolated statistics when trying to accurately report gross games biz misconduct.
Microsoft's purchase of Actvi-Blizzard won't change a damn thing, in case anyone's wondering. A system based on infinite growth means problems only get worse. Welcome to the megacorp dystopia, folks.
Pat's insanely Montréal accent threw me off. I don't live in the province anymore so I get surprised when I remember that every city in Québec has an extremely different french
I imagine beginning working for Ubisoft is kinda like that scene in Predator with Topher "Hey newbie its 5 clock you know what that means?" "Uh. Yeah. Uh 5 o clock.. bitch rapin time" "Attention. For the next 24 hours all sex based crimes will be ignored" blares over the loudspeaker. "WOOOOOOOOOOO"
I'd be wary of how you interpret that 25% number, after all, they rolled the victims in with the witnesses. For all you know there was one incident 13,999 people witnessed and this stat wouldn't even tell us if it was dealt with appropriately. Obviously that's not what happened but I'd like to see the numbers separated to get a clearer picture of what's actually been happening at Ubisoft.
Im very glad everyone else was immediately taken aback by the no beard. It's why I clicked on the thumbnail. I was like 'No way he shaved". He really did.
Scab Factory is the Bible DLC of castle super beast. I can't believe the cunning and audacity to create a school to manufacture scabs to work in your video game factory. Ubisoft is like the villain you see in the tutorial that you have to sneak past while he's murdering innocents because you're NOT strong enough to take them down yet.
To go of on that last bit 13 Sentinels is also coming to switch which is very good for increasing player base to a good game & maybe it will push Atlas towards putting other games franchises (that aren't spin-offs) on switch as well.
Looks like that cuck-head and Satan himself, Bobby Kotick, one of the main problems of sexual harrasment in Activision/Blizzard. I don't want that head anywhere near our baby faced Pat tho.
I don't think I've seen a shaven Pat before. I don't want to see it again. It's like when your friend with glasses takes them off and they look completely different. Still love ya tho, Pat.
Wholesome: Lego Star Wars The Skywalker Saga just released a gameplay overview trailer and it looks great! Not Wholesome: It's been revealed that TT Games has been suffering from really bad crunch culture.
I have worked for Ubisoft for a year and a half now. I work 9 to 5, never did any OT, haven't seen any harassment of any kind. I do work in one of the smaller studios though and i don't work on game productions directly. Before that i worked for Activision/Blizzard for nearly 5 years, there i saw lots harassment and did shit load of OT. So i'm not saying Ubisoft is perfect, but they did do a lot of changes over the last 2 years and the work environment you get really depends on the studio.
A portion of that harassment can be towards female team members, or minority team members. How many of that portion worked in your studio? Because actual terrorising isn't really dependent on the 'enviroment', it's usually on the abusers allowed to do that without being punished.
Im starting to think that maybe the ubisoft school exists explicitly to bring in new talent, but big time implicitly to bring in a bunch of people in their 20's to be new targets for assaults
Pat with no beard feels like Harry from Disco Elysium without the mutton chops.
Can confirm i lost health
Oh my God, that’s EXACTLY IT!
And only occasionally with the expression
Composure: *Check Failed*
You absolutely nailed it!
Man, beardless Pat really does look like David Cage turning into a worm on the cover of an anamorphs book.
Come on man don't say it out loud
Damn!
He's like the 3rd step on the cover.
Damn man

He looks like a completely different person.
Quick someone Photoshop Pats face onto the New Year's Baby

I can’t believe you got Rich Evans on the podcast, Woolie. Really moving up in the world!
Stop insulting Rich like this.

Geez. Not that your joke isn’t funny, but it’s a bit harsh saying the man naturally looks like a predator, don’t you think? Lol
@@BareBandSubscription It may be harsh, but true.
Now, at least he can grow a defensive field(see, beard) to cover for it...
@@InternetShis TIL he has an actual good reason for it.
...he still looks like an egg though.
The Rich Evans Effect

Shaved Pat is the most cursed thing I've seen all week.
You know, it's really cool we got famous actor and Ellen star, Rich Evans in the podcast. I'd love to see more of him!

Without pat's beard, you can see his smile better, y'all just jealous of the shine.
First comes the shaving, then comes the dunking his whole head in oil. Its a slippery slope, one might say.
Doctor: Shaved Pat doesn't exist. He can't hurt you
Me watching this video: Oh No...
The return of eggpat, may God save us all...
First time iv seen the dog in months if not a year or so. He big boi.
I think beardless PAT IS the scariest thing i Saw all day including the entire Silent Hill playthrough
Thank you to the dumpster fires for showcasing their awfulness, as there wouldn't be anything to judge the wholesomeness against without the burning

These days I'm kinda glad I decided not to.
God, this is a mood.
Glad I didn't make this my career.
Still sad that I haven't found one I actually enjoy.
In the bright side, you can download free game engine. So you can make video games and not be horribly abused.

So I usually listen to the podcast through Spotify, WHEN DID PAT SHAVE?! I was very confused when I clicked on this video.
He had to enter a public building to get his Booster, I think. And beards don't play nice with Covid masks.
Kirby is just a pink face with eyes and a mouth , and so is Pat . Spot the difference lol
Pat please God in heaven regrow the beard.
Sounds like a new Animaniacs bit
Woolie, grab the gun and get to Pat's place! If you hurry, you'll be there before that creep pretending to be him starts cutting off fingers!
