you mean worldwide inflation caused by Putin and the world destabilizing war in Ukraine? the inflation that hit the worlds biggest economy the least, because of the management of the interest rate and spending by the "libtards". stick to games where the other side you berate, mostly agrees with your take on DEI and CRT. your political scree's are sophomoric at best.
One correction: Kanji can be a word, or even a phrase, so Yasuke could easily be writing something meaningful on a gift paper. You might be thinking of hiragana/katakana which are more representative of "alphabet".

I've been saying this for years, somebody has to be subsidizing the loses. Example Disney losing money on movie after movie after movie. Companies simply do not do this unless they have income coming in from other sources. Think of the movie itself as just an advertisement for virtue signaling and the actual income is coming from Black Rock etc.
It's not just them though, it's much deeper. The small regional charity I worked for adopted it STRONGLY without any big finance moneys at all. It was very much a social trend too.

As someone who once worked in a restaurant with a coworker who did nothing but take 20 minute smoke breaks and hid behind his race every time he was criticized, your speech about useless people is so spot on that it’s scary.
Yeah I remember when I worked in a restaurant as a busser, the dishwasher constantly called out and I had to fill in for him all the time while also doing my original job of cleaning tables. It was a small restaurant so they only had one dishwasher.
Let me be honest I think nobunaga gave yasuke a scroll or just said the order to him and he delivered it and because he was the only black guy in Japan who is gonna say he is lying now everyone wants to say he was a legendary samurai because a showboating prideful ruler gave him some land and cash and he let him hold his sword so he could boast about having a unique servant.
I work at semi-outsource studio, and a year ago a Ubisoft dev joined us, dev who worked 15 years at Ubisoft 😮 imagine how bad it must be at Ubisoft that a dev with 15 years at Ubisoft joined Serbian-Russian studio, and he is indeed a superstar, the amount of stuff I learned from him in just two months is insane 😮 yet those crazy wokies pushing such people out of the office is crazy..

For those straight white males who don't have talent, they either stay quiet and die inside, or accept the leftist propaganda of hate and push it very hard, in hopes of being accepted by persecuting others who look like themselves. So person by person, these AAA studies become wildly political, highly racist and sexist, and have zero talent or passion for game development. Whatever project they start, will need years of contract work to actually get finished.

Yeah, even the previous WTC bombing, or the bombing of the USS Cole, was covered in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it way on the news, and people talked of them -- if they did -- in a "Haha, aren't terrorists so dumb?" kind of way. That's just unthinkable now.
You’re kidding, right? The Oklahoma City bombing happened about a few month after Aum Shinrikyo, and was magnitudes or order a bigger story than the subway attack I was in college, as a 2nd year Japanese language student at the time, and we barely talked about it for more than a few daus
the damage has been done we don't trust them anymore. the same goes for Bioware if they f up Mass Effect I will never forgive them if they do. and if Bethesda f up the next elder scrolls with more woke s**t they can go to hell too.
Best option for Ubisoft at this point is: 1. Cancel assassins creed shadows. 2. Apologize to everybody. 3. Sell the made assets of the game to a different company.
It's known as the Pareto Principle. It applies to every human endavour and nobody can explain why, just that it always happens, with everything. Also anytime this ratio skews one or the other, systemic crises always follows. If it reverses you have something like the great terror in france, if it goes like it is now in the US you get things like ubisoft. Tons of great insights from the 80/20 rule alone. Worth anything you can read about it, especially the original work from Pareto.
Heres a fun story. Before all this nonsense started, i was going to college to be a game dev. Covid stopped me and thank God it did. I couldve been a white guy in the woke game development industry.
I saw an interview of a Ubisoft manager. In it, he proudly said, as if it was a good thing, than more than half the devs of AC Shadows never worked on any game before. I mean it's ok to have some beginners in a project, everybody need to learn at some point. But more than half ? Yeah they are dead weight.
Well, they chased off all the talent that actually made them a success. So they were free to hire anyone who wasn't a straight white male, regardless of talent or experience. The result is wasting hundreds of millions of dollars and many years, only to find the only way to finish the game at all is to send it off to sub contractors in South East Asia who work from before sunrise to after dark for peanuts to do the actual work.
Dead weight is right...they got like 18k staff and yet the level of incompetence is nothing short of appalling and feel like some of the more unscrupulous folk in the industry in particular keep inventing new position on why they are somehow relevant in the industry and deserve a job position - ie consultations firms; the black myth studio quoted around 7 mill it was being black mailed just for consultation. The worst part is rather than cut costs where it matters they instead pass the costs onto the consumer all the while refusing to make products for said customers that are in demand and that they actually want to see - also why I laugh when they say slogans like games are too expensive to make, the misallocation of funds within these companies is baffling. Meanwhile you got some of these indie devs over here with 2 passionate dudes in their basement creating better games because they know what players actually want, because they are gamers themselves. Quality over quantity, that's what I always say. Studios these days seemed marred by politics, toxic positivity and a hatred for the very customers they are supposed to be serving and/or selling their products to. Like, its fine to have your beliefs as long as you leave it at the door when you come into work. The purity of gaming has been compromised by people who wish to use the medium to push propaganda, and what I can only assume to be votes...like they have already done to the rest of the entertainment industry that has crashed and burned (ie hollywood, or music artists like taylor swift pushing for certain candidates).
Im glad too, however; I fear Mr. Trump has made a deal with the swamp. It's the only reason he was allowed to win this round. The elite was a bit scared of real collapse under Count Kamala.
yea but on the other hand is also pretty amusing to see them self-destruct and ruin every institution every company everything in society and it's also funny when you ask them real questions like in interviews what are you going to do about this problem? because these people have no brains and cannot think for themselves they need other idiots to tell them what to say. I also like how everything keep getting worse because of them and then they complain about it lol
More than one, let's not forget Seattle gets burned and occupied once a decade, and they can't blame it on wildfires. The rain-forest over there kinda stops them, the unmanaged forests tend to spread fungal pathogens though, I swear black mold just grows on the streets in the puget sound area.
DEI is burning down a civilisation. That's why they're doing all of this, video games are just one of many vectors, a popular and influential medium for the subversion to be spread.
I worked at Burger King for a few years and the amount of useless people was beyond belief. As soon as the GM left for the day and the shift manager came I was doing everything from kitchen to prep to cleaning, drive thru, front counter and even making sure the orders were going out. The shift manager always showed up late drunk
I'm a software developer and the part where people find a bug they can't solve and just accept it is very real. I think not knowing how to fix the bug is not a problem at all, it's an opportunity to grow, the problem is giving up and coming up with a bunch of excuses why it's impossible to do that.
I worked as an Android developer for a company that was going DEI. I would be considered a "Good Developer", and the only one there. My coworkers complained to my boss that I was doing too much work and they were spending all their time reviewing my PRs. They also rejected a PR for a feature the UX team requested because it was "Too complex and nobody else could understand or maintain the code." Long story short, on the day my boss let me go, I already had an interview scheduled for later that day.
he was litterly.. (and forgive me for wording it so harshly grow up people) a pet monkey. in a time where africans werent everywhere.. they BOUGHT him because "haha big man...dance monkey dance" and made him be a sword bearer. that isnt a samurai. unless im tweaking.. i could have sworn this was what was clearly stated in history books and stuff. he never was a samurai/person with ANY honor
DiRT, DiRT 2, Guitar Hero 5, all released on 9/11 within 10 years of 2001. Helldivers 2 "Escalation of Freedom" update released on August 6th, the anniversary of the Nuclear bomb dropped on Japan. But sure....THIS is what's insulting. You clowns are hilarious.
@@weeboftheleft5113 Did I say I was insulted? Incidentally those first three games weren't about violence, if they were there might have been some push back. Helldivers, is about us against everything else, not us on us.
@@weeboftheleft5113 Did I say that I was insulted? Also, those first games you mentioned aren't geared towards violence. If they were, I'm sure there would've been pushback and if Helldivers wasn't Humanity against the Universe but Humanity versus Humanity, there may have been some too and the reason that SOME could find offence with this is Ubisoft's recent activities and how they all stem from them same source. ie. Shadows and the complete disregard and disrespect that they've shown Japan, her culture, people or history which highlights a complete lack of research let alone respect.
@ "Ubisoft's recent activities and how they all stem from them same source." - AKA, "I've never actually paid attention and am purely bitching about the color of the characters skin, but if I were to openly say that I would be appropriately labeled for the trash I am" The minority of you clowns saying this is even SMALLER in Japanese communities. Fuck off and either buy it or don't, but don't act like it's anything but what it is.
@@WeirdLookingRabbit If it really did, that company wouldn't be in such a deplorable state. They'd be thriving, and Hollowwood too. As you can see, neither of them are.
I bet you, if the game would be in medieval Lapland, the protagonist would be black no matter what. The problem with this is, when a black character is actually fitting in a game setting, nobody wants it anymore, because we'll always associate them with their woke bullshit.
Too late for me, I'll never go back to any of these brands that went along with this nonsense. Honestly, gaming just overall kinda sucks anymore imo, and other than the new Monster Hunter and that Vampire game, I honestly don't care for anything coming out this year so far. I'm pretty much back into retro mode, I miss being able to boot up games and just play, no internet connection needed :D
@@Bohdisattva326 I played HD2 a little bit, back when it had all the issues and never went back to it. Marvel Rivals looks cool, but I don't play online games anymore, more of a SP guy these days.
I'm currently playing Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. Loving it. If you haven't tried the Yakuza series, I recommend it. You can either start with 0 or the first Like a Dragon. Like you, I love single player games.
The thing is, Ubisoft's back catalogue is making them substantial amounts of money. It's the only thing keeping them afloat. I have no clue how much money is left, but I think a buyout or something like that is on the horizon. This DEI nonsense started, by the way, with a manipulated study by none other than McKinsey. According to this "study", a company with a diverse leadership will make up to 35% more revenue than competitors. This got repeated ad nauseam without ever checking it or another study to back it up. But like you said, if the rot reaches the top, you get whole structures without merit and use.
They always do that. Research studies are often faked with fraudulent data manipulation, and policy made on top of it. When the truth comes out about the faked study, it's too late, society is already going in that direction, and nobody cares what the truth is, they want the money and the public praise.
"Abandon all DEI, you who enter here" should be inscribed above the door of EVERY company, gaming or otherwise. Ceterum censeo Blackrock esse delendam.
Ubisoft made lots of mistakes with recent games. I can kind of understand this March 20th, because it's also the start of Spring in Japan, but it also is very much unfortunately the same day as that terror attack. Ignorance is pretty dangerous
Never do work of someone else. If the compatition is not fair work as good and efficient as others to show management you are the only one who does actual work. Take a week off your tempo and work just like others do. If it is not enough do this for two weeks. Once people start look for a result show your cards.
They still have not replaced Yasuke with an actual Asian male Samurai. Ubisoft will sell or not be around much longer. Once they get taken over. It will result in 'restructuring' which will entail massive layoffs. The comment about Ubisoft not fixing bugs. This makes so much sense after my experience with Far Cry 6. I submitted 5 bug reports. None of them got fixed. Have had similar experiences with Bethesda Game Studios for Starfield.
They don't do anything, work is on commissions to overseas, is done by foreign companies in Asia for cheap labor and terrible conditions. With everything outsourced, Ubisoft just assembles the products and sells at high price. Just a common practice in all corporations.
Just a reminder. Some of these superstar developers left to make their own studios. Rebel Wolves are former top CD Projekt Red Devs behind the Witcher Trilogy and Cyberpunk 2077 if I recall right. Blood of the Dawnwalker is from Rebel Wolves and you can *TELL* where the quality went.
Spent 17 years working for a site that did meeting, hosted parties, 400 seat award meetings. I had a dude for 24 hours who couldn't stack chairs and count to 8 at the same time..
0:36 Even kids know the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet characters are designed terribly since kids already saw the mess All Engines Go is for having characters that are unlike the characters they once know.
They’ll hide, they’re too narcissistic to ever truly change, they’ll just get sneakier and more deceitful with their attempts to socially manipulate or condition us ‘plebs’ from the top of their soapbox-platforms.
In regards to the section about Kanji. Kanji is a pictogram. A single Kanji character will represent an idea (or thing). There are many instances in Chinese and/or Japanese poetry where one Kanji character is used (i.e. wind, tiger, dragon) to convey a feeling more than a literal sentence. That being said, Ubisoft is still tone deaf to Japanese culture and has ruined themselves through DEI (there were no black samurai). My wife, whom is Japanese, snorts every time she see a trailer for Assassin’s Creed, lol.
It's too late for Ubislop and If these devs moving forward are smart they won't listen to these loser journalists. Dead weight is an understatement for these DEI hires.
For a while, i felt like Ubi would easily be able to cut their staff by half without losing much of any value/talent. But now, I'm thinking that they could probably cut themselves down from almost 20k employees, to about 3k in order to trim off most of the deadweight/fat.
I felt your restaurant pain in your voice. What makes it worse is when that attitude leaks into places where you need to care for others. My wife worked in an assisted care nursing home. The abuse she had to curb was stressful. One person slammed a client's toe into a doorframe and didn't report it at all. My wife noticed his toe was broken for an entire weekend before she got to talk to a nurse about it. Turns out they kept quiet because the one who did it was a friend of the nurse on call and she didn't want to get "her boy" fired so she let the client suffer the entire weekend until my wife brought it up and even then they made her fill out the entire paperwork and made her take the client to the ER to get the client's toe fixed. That's only one instance in that field. If you worry about the usual suspects ruining your food when you got out to eat, don't ever be put in an old folk's home. It's about the same quality
Ubisoft now has to find another MC to put in assassin's creed shadows asap before the deadline or they can forget about ignoring questions asking if they allow being bought by tencent
I feel like DEI is misunderstood in general. It's main intent was to bring people together according to their talents and strengths regardless of gender, ethnicity, etc. It was supposed to objective, not subjective. That IS a good thing mind you. It means lousy Asian me will not get automatically rejected during the hiring process because I'm Asian; if ever I do get rejected it would be because I wasn't fit for the job or someone else that offers more was selected. Now the problem is, there are times, and I mean, a majority of times, that the best candidate just so happens to be the white dude 5 hirings in a row (economic background, education privilege, too many to list that gave some advantages to certain demographics), and that will raise eyebrows on the woke community already, so companies just get the not-so-fit guy and hire him just to have some Asian on the team, to silence these woke critics. And that was where the downfall started.
Not sure whats going on. I've been a sub member for quite awhile now and you dont even show up in my algorithm anymore. I have to physically type you in...keep up the good work brotha 💯.
Ubisoft changing? Even if it’s true, it might be too late. Heck, Shadows was confirmed recently to require Denuvo & a Ubisoft account on PC. I don’t see things going well with news like that.
typical DEI pushers can never come up with any valid arguments, on why / how its good for gaming.., instead they just attack anyone with valid criticism against forced DEI..
It's because it is malicious. Video games are simply a popular medium making it a target for highjacking by these enemies who wish to use its influence promote cultural subversion. The hope we wouldn't notice, but the veil has slipped.
16:40 I think that's not the point. What he's writing is 勇 which is not a letter - as most kanji is. It's a word. Sometimes calligraphy is like that. To compare it to a letter A is like comparing "A" pen to "Single" pen. Yes, it's the same, but A pen is elementary school. Single is not.
Japanese people literally do exactly what Yasuke was doing well into high school, it's called Japanese Calligraphy and it's apparently a requirement of some kind for years in their schooling. And indeed a kanji is nothing like the letter A. A kanji, as you said is more like a whole word. For it to be a mere letter he would have had to put a hiragana or a katakana which would, on their own, mean nothing, like the letter A. But a kanji, on its own, means a whole word.

Of course, they're deadweight. that's what happens when you hire based off check boxes
I want nothing to do with ubisoft. Not one game again.
If we had a purely meritocratic system with no DEI interference most of these “devs” would be bagging groceries or asking if you want fires with that.
So instead of making shitty games you'd insist on them being around your food source instead? I don't think you've actually thought this through.
@ That’s not what I said “genius”…
And even in meritocracy you'd lead by example. When you get shit guidance, you do a shit job, more so if someone has your hands tied behind your back. Usually problems start at the top.
@@1OO_kyou implied they would be fast food workers. That's exactly what you said.

@ Me implying they’d be fast food workers =/= Me wanting them to work in those positions. Get it know?
I often forget how young most gamers are. I think my arcade days are showing. The Nerve Gas attack was the biggest thing in the news until 9-11.
I remember, too.
Yeah, even the previous WTC bombing, or the bombing of the USS Cole, was covered in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it way on the news, and people talked of them -- if they did -- in a "Haha, aren't terrorists so dumb?" kind of way.
That's just unthinkable now.
or wait 80 years for games to load! could have a cuppa and a shower before the games even ready to play! lmao
You’re kidding, right?
The Oklahoma City bombing happened about a few month after Aum Shinrikyo, and was magnitudes or order a bigger story than the subway attack
I was in college, as a 2nd year Japanese language student at the time, and we barely talked about it for more than a few daus
@@kaikiske7436 maybe it was just NYC, but Oklahoma died off pretty fast. I was hearing about Subway safety up until the towers came down.
So much like Twitter, Ubisoft needs to fire a good 80-90% of its development teams...
Simple solution: get rid of the Deadweight and blacklist them
Exactly.
Ubisoft is a prime example of what happens when you cater to the screaming crazies.
At this rate we should just bring back asylums...

it's way too late for ubisoft to abandon dei and stay in business
They screwed up when they abandoned their customers
the damage has been done we don't trust them anymore.
the same goes for Bioware if they f up Mass Effect I will never forgive them if they do.
and if Bethesda f up the next elder scrolls with more woke s**t they can go to hell too.
Best option for Ubisoft at this point is:
1. Cancel assassins creed shadows.
2. Apologize to everybody.
3. Sell the made assets of the game to a different company.
The landscape assets look pretty good. They could market that library pretty well, I'd wager.
Even then it's better to shut these companies down. Get new companies up, start fresh and get better workers and decent leaders
These hires are everywhere now, the 80/20 rule: 20% do 80% of the work
What's worse is they're getting promoted into key positions; which insulates them from termination.
It's not just the gaming industry either, I see the same type of BS in the medical field on a daily basis. Society is actually in trouble.
We wuz developers in sheeeit....
And firefighting.
It's known as the Pareto Principle. It applies to every human endavour and nobody can explain why, just that it always happens, with everything. Also anytime this ratio skews one or the other, systemic crises always follows. If it reverses you have something like the great terror in france, if it goes like it is now in the US you get things like ubisoft. Tons of great insights from the 80/20 rule alone. Worth anything you can read about it, especially the original work from Pareto.

It's too late for Ubisoft to abandon DEI, they've already screwed themselves.
Media: Abandoning DEI is a bad thing for the industry!
Us: yet those who abandon them make profit…do the math.
"Bad for the industry"
Google translate to sane...
"Bad for the cult"
Heres a fun story. Before all this nonsense started, i was going to college to be a game dev. Covid stopped me and thank God it did. I couldve been a white guy in the woke game development industry.
...covid saved you......ironic ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
@roserevancroix2308 ikr it's crazy
Hate to break it to you, but the vast majority of fields have DEI. It’s not just gaming
@@SwaggedoutshortyIt's why I retired early from LE. And, boy, is life good.
@@Swaggedoutshorty not mine
I saw an interview of a Ubisoft manager. In it, he proudly said, as if it was a good thing, than more than half the devs of AC Shadows never worked on any game before. I mean it's ok to have some beginners in a project, everybody need to learn at some point. But more than half ? Yeah they are dead weight.
And the other half are incompetent activists. Lol. Your game must be suck
Well, they chased off all the talent that actually made them a success. So they were free to hire anyone who wasn't a straight white male, regardless of talent or experience.
The result is wasting hundreds of millions of dollars and many years, only to find the only way to finish the game at all is to send it off to sub contractors in South East Asia who work from before sunrise to after dark for peanuts to do the actual work.
I wonder if he still feels that way...?
That's so dumb.
Yes beginners gotta gain experience, but what's the point of experience if they ain't got nobody teaching them properly.
Dead weight is right...they got like 18k staff and yet the level of incompetence is nothing short of appalling and feel like some of the more unscrupulous folk in the industry in particular keep inventing new position on why they are somehow relevant in the industry and deserve a job position - ie consultations firms; the black myth studio quoted around 7 mill it was being black mailed just for consultation. The worst part is rather than cut costs where it matters they instead pass the costs onto the consumer all the while refusing to make products for said customers that are in demand and that they actually want to see - also why I laugh when they say slogans like games are too expensive to make, the misallocation of funds within these companies is baffling. Meanwhile you got some of these indie devs over here with 2 passionate dudes in their basement creating better games because they know what players actually want, because they are gamers themselves. Quality over quantity, that's what I always say. Studios these days seemed marred by politics, toxic positivity and a hatred for the very customers they are supposed to be serving and/or selling their products to. Like, its fine to have your beliefs as long as you leave it at the door when you come into work. The purity of gaming has been compromised by people who wish to use the medium to push propaganda, and what I can only assume to be votes...like they have already done to the rest of the entertainment industry that has crashed and burned (ie hollywood, or music artists like taylor swift pushing for certain candidates).
Evil does not create, it only corrupts.
They would need to fire like 3/4 of their company. They can't do it.
Downsizing radically and focusing on smaller budget games instead of AAA+ ones doesn't sound like a bad move for them.
if you can hire them you can fire them, if they don't do that they will get destroyed.
It’s not that whether they could, but they should do it to save the company
I'm from Quebec so not only part of my taxes goes to Ubisoft, it's also where Sweet Baby Inc. was created.........

Canada needs an analog to Trump desperately
We're still in a DEI nightmare they're just saying BS so you'll look the other way as usual. DEI is in EVERYTHING.
Im glad too, however; I fear Mr. Trump has made a deal with the swamp. It's the only reason he was allowed to win this round. The elite was a bit scared of real collapse under Count Kamala.
yea but on the other hand is also pretty amusing to see them self-destruct and ruin every institution every company everything in society and it's also funny when you ask them real questions like in interviews what are you going to do about this problem? because these people have no brains and cannot think for themselves they need other idiots to tell them what to say. I also like how everything keep getting worse because of them and then they complain about it lol
Thank god for that. Would be a nightmare if she won. She's basically Trudeau in female clothing. She would have wrecked the country.

DEI burned down a whole city
More than one, let's not forget Seattle gets burned and occupied once a decade, and they can't blame it on wildfires. The rain-forest over there kinda stops them, the unmanaged forests tend to spread fungal pathogens though, I swear black mold just grows on the streets in the puget sound area.
@@SaanMigwellKeep yelling yourself it's black mold, buddy!
DEI is burning down a civilisation.
That's why they're doing all of this, video games are just one of many vectors, a popular and influential medium for the subversion to be spread.
I will believe it when I see it.
*We will believe it when they release a GOOD game.
I worked at Burger King for a few years and the amount of useless people was beyond belief. As soon as the GM left for the day and the shift manager came I was doing everything from kitchen to prep to cleaning, drive thru, front counter and even making sure the orders were going out. The shift manager always showed up late drunk
What's wrong with being drunk I do it all the time
I'm a software developer and the part where people find a bug they can't solve and just accept it is very real. I think not knowing how to fix the bug is not a problem at all, it's an opportunity to grow, the problem is giving up and coming up with a bunch of excuses why it's impossible to do that.
I worked as an Android developer for a company that was going DEI. I would be considered a "Good Developer", and the only one there. My coworkers complained to my boss that I was doing too much work and they were spending all their time reviewing my PRs. They also rejected a PR for a feature the UX team requested because it was "Too complex and nobody else could understand or maintain the code."
Long story short, on the day my boss let me go, I already had an interview scheduled for later that day.
DEI is a necessary loss.

@@weeboftheleft5113 As if that were the only problem, clown
@@weeboftheleft5113 Did I say I was insulted? Incidentally those first three games weren't about violence, if they were there might have been some push back. Helldivers, is about us against everything else, not us on us.
@@weeboftheleft5113 Did I say that I was insulted? Also, those first games you mentioned aren't geared towards violence. If they were, I'm sure there would've been pushback and if Helldivers wasn't Humanity against the Universe but Humanity versus Humanity, there may have been some too and the reason that SOME could find offence with this is Ubisoft's recent activities and how they all stem from them same source. ie. Shadows and the complete disregard and disrespect that they've shown Japan, her culture, people or history which highlights a complete lack of research let alone respect.

Ubisoft now realized Yasuke was Nobunaga's lackey not a samurai
Too late for them
The subway attack in Japan was horrific. On top of the deaths, some of the victims had long term damage. The lack of insight by Ubisoft is painful.
Yeah. That's like releasing a war game on the 11th of September.
All Ubisoft needs to do is move the release date forward or back by a week or so.
This has to be two of the most dumbest things I've heard since the announcement of Shadow 😂
I think Ubi officially passed the tone deaf tier and entered the extra chromosome zone.
The reason Ubisoft won’t get rid of the woke idiots is because the CEO is one of them
They legitimately have to close down for a year and fire/rehire 80% of that circus to have a CHANCE at MAYBE becoming a shell of what it used to be
I bet you, if the game would be in medieval Lapland, the protagonist would be black no matter what.
The problem with this is, when a black character is actually fitting in a game setting, nobody wants it anymore, because we'll always associate them with their woke bullshit.
Too late for me, I'll never go back to any of these brands that went along with this nonsense. Honestly, gaming just overall kinda sucks anymore imo, and other than the new Monster Hunter and that Vampire game, I honestly don't care for anything coming out this year so far. I'm pretty much back into retro mode, I miss being able to boot up games and just play, no internet connection needed :D
Try Helldivers 2 and marvel rivals. Awesome. With no agenda
Hoping you can enjoy KCD 2. Looks like a game made by gamers who actually respect the players time
@@Bohdisattva326 I played HD2 a little bit, back when it had all the issues and never went back to it. Marvel Rivals looks cool, but I don't play online games anymore, more of a SP guy these days.
Indeed it’s the only way. Modern gaming is weak!
I'm currently playing Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. Loving it. If you haven't tried the Yakuza series, I recommend it. You can either start with 0 or the first Like a Dragon. Like you, I love single player games.
The thing is, Ubisoft's back catalogue is making them substantial amounts of money. It's the only thing keeping them afloat. I have no clue how much money is left, but I think a buyout or something like that is on the horizon.
This DEI nonsense started, by the way, with a manipulated study by none other than McKinsey. According to this "study", a company with a diverse leadership will make up to 35% more revenue than competitors. This got repeated ad nauseam without ever checking it or another study to back it up. But like you said, if the rot reaches the top, you get whole structures without merit and use.
They always do that. Research studies are often faked with fraudulent data manipulation, and policy made on top of it. When the truth comes out about the faked study, it's too late, society is already going in that direction, and nobody cares what the truth is, they want the money and the public praise.
It took them THIS long to figure out the DEI route isn't the best bet?
DEI money funding.
The matrix glitched and they haven't figured it out yet.
When are people going to stop assuming naivete with these people.
THE DAMAGE WAS ALWAYS THE INTENT. THEY HATE YOU.
Cuz short term method of earning money.
"Abandon all DEI, you who enter here" should be inscribed above the door of EVERY company, gaming or otherwise.
Ceterum censeo Blackrock esse delendam.
Ubisoft made lots of mistakes with recent games. I can kind of understand this March 20th, because it's also the start of Spring in Japan, but it also is very much unfortunately the same day as that terror attack. Ignorance is pretty dangerous
Ubisoft and Pc gamer can hold hands as they both fade into obscurity together.
Never do work of someone else. If the compatition is not fair work as good and efficient as others to show management you are the only one who does actual work. Take a week off your tempo and work just like others do. If it is not enough do this for two weeks. Once people start look for a result show your cards.
They still have not replaced Yasuke with an actual Asian male Samurai. Ubisoft will sell or not be around much longer.
Once they get taken over. It will result in 'restructuring' which will entail massive layoffs.
The comment about Ubisoft not fixing bugs. This makes so much sense after my experience with Far Cry 6. I submitted 5 bug reports. None of them got fixed. Have had similar experiences with Bethesda Game Studios for Starfield.
They don't do anything, work is on commissions to overseas, is done by foreign companies in Asia for cheap labor and terrible conditions. With everything outsourced, Ubisoft just assembles the products and sells at high price. Just a common practice in all corporations.
Been saying for years that the problem isn't just the CEOs and bosses at the game studios. It's the DEI devs they keep hiring.
Just a reminder. Some of these superstar developers left to make their own studios. Rebel Wolves are former top CD Projekt Red Devs behind the Witcher Trilogy and Cyberpunk 2077 if I recall right. Blood of the Dawnwalker is from Rebel Wolves and you can *TELL* where the quality went.
Great video, as usual! You never fail to impress.

AAA label just mean bloated production. Never preorder. Watch gameplay before buying.
They'll either Change or Hide i wonder which one. Lets see.
They’ll hide, they’re too narcissistic to ever truly change, they’ll just get sneakier and more deceitful with their attempts to socially manipulate or condition us ‘plebs’ from the top of their soapbox-platforms.
In regards to the section about Kanji. Kanji is a pictogram. A single Kanji character will represent an idea (or thing). There are many instances in Chinese and/or Japanese poetry where one Kanji character is used (i.e. wind, tiger, dragon) to convey a feeling more than a literal sentence. That being said, Ubisoft is still tone deaf to Japanese culture and has ruined themselves through DEI (there were no black samurai). My wife, whom is Japanese, snorts every time she see a trailer for Assassin’s Creed, lol.
Who knows, maybe it's not too late to redeem themselves, i strongly doubt it but we'll see.
Edit: scratch the 1st part .
It's too late for Ubislop and If these devs moving forward are smart they won't listen to these loser journalists. Dead weight is an understatement for these DEI hires.
For a while, i felt like Ubi would easily be able to cut their staff by half without losing much of any value/talent. But now, I'm thinking that they could probably cut themselves down from almost 20k employees, to about 3k in order to trim off most of the deadweight/fat.
I felt your restaurant pain in your voice. What makes it worse is when that attitude leaks into places where you need to care for others. My wife worked in an assisted care nursing home. The abuse she had to curb was stressful. One person slammed a client's toe into a doorframe and didn't report it at all. My wife noticed his toe was broken for an entire weekend before she got to talk to a nurse about it. Turns out they kept quiet because the one who did it was a friend of the nurse on call and she didn't want to get "her boy" fired so she let the client suffer the entire weekend until my wife brought it up and even then they made her fill out the entire paperwork and made her take the client to the ER to get the client's toe fixed. That's only one instance in that field. If you worry about the usual suspects ruining your food when you got out to eat, don't ever be put in an old folk's home. It's about the same quality
And THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is why Ubisoft will NEVER get my money. Thank you and goodbye 👍
That tier system doesn’t just apply to “you be soft” it also applies to literally everywhere with more than 2 employees.
Don't care, let them sink.

Ubisoft now has to find another MC to put in assassin's creed shadows asap before the deadline or they can forget about ignoring questions asking if they allow being bought by tencent
Woke is trash
I feel like DEI is misunderstood in general. It's main intent was to bring people together according to their talents and strengths regardless of gender, ethnicity, etc. It was supposed to objective, not subjective. That IS a good thing mind you. It means lousy Asian me will not get automatically rejected during the hiring process because I'm Asian; if ever I do get rejected it would be because I wasn't fit for the job or someone else that offers more was selected. Now the problem is, there are times, and I mean, a majority of times, that the best candidate just so happens to be the white dude 5 hirings in a row (economic background, education privilege, too many to list that gave some advantages to certain demographics), and that will raise eyebrows on the woke community already, so companies just get the not-so-fit guy and hire him just to have some Asian on the team, to silence these woke critics. And that was where the downfall started.
Revelations and Far Cry 3 were peak Ubisoft. I miss those days
I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing such amazing work!
Not sure whats going on. I've been a sub member for quite awhile now and you dont even show up in my algorithm anymore. I have to physically type you in...keep up the good work brotha 💯.
Ubisoft changing? Even if it’s true, it might be too late. Heck, Shadows was confirmed recently to require Denuvo & a Ubisoft account on PC. I don’t see things going well with news like that.
Honestly I'd hope 10cents just buys them out
typical DEI pushers can never come up with any valid arguments, on why / how its good for gaming.., instead they just attack anyone with valid criticism against forced DEI..
It's because it is malicious.
Video games are simply a popular medium making it a target for highjacking by these enemies who wish to use its influence promote cultural subversion.
The hope we wouldn't notice, but the veil has slipped.
Ubisoft should just remove Yasuke
16:40 I think that's not the point. What he's writing is 勇 which is not a letter - as most kanji is. It's a word. Sometimes calligraphy is like that. To compare it to a letter A is like comparing "A" pen to "Single" pen. Yes, it's the same, but A pen is elementary school. Single is not.
Japanese people literally do exactly what Yasuke was doing well into high school, it's called Japanese Calligraphy and it's apparently a requirement of some kind for years in their schooling.
And indeed a kanji is nothing like the letter A. A kanji, as you said is more like a whole word. For it to be a mere letter he would have had to put a hiragana or a katakana which would, on their own, mean nothing, like the letter A. But a kanji, on its own, means a whole word.
When they say they're not involved with DEI but then when you check their homepage it's all over there and it says we support DEI 🤦🚩
It's too late for them.
