Ubisoft director blames gamers, says they've been exposed as 'non-decent humans'
The Monetization Director at Ubisoft has said industry figures vocalizing their disagreements with Ubisoft revealed themselves as 'clearly non-decent'.
This article sucks. The original quote could be talking about anything, because it's so vague. It could be about legitimate criticisms of the game, or it could be nonsense like people yelling about Sweet Baby and DEI. There's no way to know, but the author of the article would clearly like you to ascribe it to something rational that still makes Ubisoft the bad guy.
EDIT: Original tweet is from a MAGA guy, so it's very easily actually about shitty people.
The criticism of SBI is often hyperbolic but there’s a real issue there. Rich people profiting off the puritanical sensibilities of the American upper middle class at time does have a negative impact on the writing of games. Management not trusting their own internal developers is usually frowned upon. That MAGA idiots are attempting to hijack this issue is not surprising, but honestly they are handed this one way too easily.
SBI is just writing work for hire. When game dev cycles get longer, you don't need writers for the full length of it, and contract work makes more sense. The "criticism" is little more than conspiracy theory, especially since SBI's contributions aren't exactly itemized.
How can you wish a company to fail
Very easily, actually.
I mean, a bit of context may go a long way here.
How can you wish a company to fail simply because they do not cater to you or that the produce does not please you is beyond me. We are all on the same boat, please please please, stop spreading hate, we should all uplift each other instead of bringing each other down.
I get it, pithy joke, why let it pass, but still.
The context is irrelevant because nobody wants Ubisoft to fail because they don't make content that caters to them. It's a strawman argument. Does this Director of Monetization want to uplift his competitors? Absolutely not. He would love if all his competitors failed. Yet he gets on his high horse saying we must uplift his corporate venture to extract as much money as possible because we're all in this together??
Doesn't matter, cause that's not what's happening here lol
Ubisoft MBA: Why is everyone so mean to us, we're only trying to take your money and provide you sub-par entertainment!
It's true.
I'm a non-decent human (but a good dog) and I think Ubisoft games are soulless garbage.
wait I thought you were two good dogs.
Issue is, gamers think the problem with games are minorities.
"Monetization Director at Ubistft"
Get fucked, dickbag!
When I create gambling addiction to kids I'm an outstanding human being, but if gamers don't like my games, they are horrible human beings.
This blowhard
This is what I imagine a monetization director would say if their company got shit on
Maybe they should turn that mirror on themselves. Take a long look at the 'non decent humans' within their own ranks:
On the one hand I'm sympathetic to a lot of people in the games industry. It's long hours, not great pay, low job security, and takes advantage of people who are passionate about games and crushes them beneath the wheels of capitalism.
On the other, anybody who's job it is to make games worse to make a quick buck, can politely go fuck himself.
My shelf is full of Ubisoft games. I'm playing one right now in fact, Farcry 2.
Thing is, I've bought a lot of them based of my love of the series, and the truth is, all the recent one's have sucked. Farcry 2,3,5, primal, AC black flag, rocksmith 2014, anything splinter cell, ghost recon wildlands, all amazing games.
Farcry 6, AC anything after black flag, breakpoint, the new rocksmith, I hated them all. Not because I want to see a company fail, but because the games just don't have the mechanics I enjoy.
I've spent a lot of money in good faith because ubisoft made some of my favorite titles, but I'm done. The only games I might buy at this point on faith are GTA6, Kingdom come Deliverance 2, and Subnautica 2.
I won't buy anything ubisoft again until I've seen multiple reviews telling me exactly why I'm going to love this one.
I played plenty of Ubisoft games and I believe the only game I beat was Immortal fenyx rising. I like farcry 3 & black flag but I never got to finish playing because live service games took up all my game time.
I also tried AC Odyssey and Valhalla more than once and the longest I managed was under 20hr before calling it quits.
I don't hate their games I just don't enjoy playing them and I don't see myself buying anything Ubisoft because their games are just not my cup of tea as much i want it to be.
Senior Ubisoft employee. Don't be mean and criticised us. Celebrate our shitty choices and track record. Think of the developers.
We don't have to respond seriously to that, right? He's clearly non-decent. Pointing and laughing seems like the appropriate response.
I mean, a significant portion of gamers are shitgibbons, but that doesn't stop the criticism of Ubisoft and lootboxes from being true. Get fucked, Stevy Chassard
Wow, after all this they’re still in the denial stage of grief, not knowing they continue to harm themselves
