Ubisoft is soon saved by expulsing CEO.

[Tsuru]

Desperate situation to the point that villainous capitalists are becoming heroes.

You can watch all
or skip to 2:55

Official letter of a Shareholders to others (at 12:58)

We cannot understand the decision-making of management, focused on average games/year that are harming Ubisoft reputation among gamers community, instead of providing hit games within it's exceptional franchise portfolio.

Its so satisfying seeing that not all of them, are blind people that can't bother to look at internet, or seemingly not having family members that has kids liking games (are they lonely Scrooge McDuck or what?), or not caring of seeing their money burn as the stocks dive badly.
Dont they want our money? Or are they living in a cave or what ? Dont they have brains to understand that getting losses or low profits is weird compared to BILLIONS by the competitors ? (Said-competitors only composed of far fewer staff btw)


Other IPs pointed out by investor that has great value and underutilized : Tom Clancy's / Rayman / Far Cry / The Division / Splinter Cell (decade ago).

PS : Shared bc the "dog bite dog" logic is interesting and fun. And its not like its going to worse at this moment. We already got games (costing hundreds millions) closing down faster than the lifespan of a FLY and EVEN A CARROT is more profitable (meme).

 

[RepresentingWrath]

Nothing will change.

Why not start by removing microtransactions in their games? Before they start picking sides. It's basically a battle between "Infinite Evil" vs "Infinite Evil +1", it's just the same shit.

Oh man. The vid started a bit fun when he introduced "evil capitalists" shitting on "incompetent evil capitalist CEO", but it just got sad when I continued to watch the vid.

 

[Assurbanipal_II]

A new Anno?

 

[RepresentingWrath]

A new Anno?

You wish.

 

[Assurbanipal_II]

You wish.

 

[RepresentingWrath]

On the other hand, we got a new HOMM, so maybe you will get another Anno?

Companies are not your friend.
Nor do they owe us anything.
You buy something else instead.
Where effort and passion exist.

This is a straw hat.
Would you buy Factory made?
Its made of plastic and will be done after using it a year.
Or someone who handcrafted it?
Authentic, every piece is tight and withstood for 5 years.

I don't trust those capitalist,will something change or stay the same.

 

[Zinless]

I don't really like these types of videos.

Sure, Ubisoft's an idiot, and so much of this "woke" stuff is, but the way these videos portray these types of news only serves to fuel more hate on both sides.

Now, everybody's doing everything out of spite, and it sucks.

Stop watching these types of videos, if you can. They're just abusing your hate and spite for their ad revenue.

I am on neither side of this whole culture war thing, I hate both of them equally. I know there's more to this world than black and white, I hope you will too.

Yep.

But there is difference between "mud water" and a "bitter tea".
One is unheathy and/or undrinkable. The other is "fine", even "tasty".

Especially in the "desert" (gaming) with few oasis. Even pee or camel blood is far better whatever "muddy water" they sell. Bc if in the end the dignity is lost, but it would be far better to lose by choice, compared to losing to a scam to a merchant that disdain you, hate you, and even mock the IQ of their customers. Which btw only serve to expose their own low-IQ as they are only doing self-destruction, like a poisonous crappy young master in CNs.
Double stupidity, as they (companies) dont fking see they are in a desert where everyone is craving a good drink. Nay, not even "good drink" but just "water/tea" that now TON OF people can replicate to sell (indies).
Triple stupidity, as their original "water" wasnt muddy to start with, but just added in ingredients, especially as their top-tier water source (IPs) equaled its weight in gold.

But yeah,
tldr: both you and Sailus are correct. And agreeing that evil would be far better if gone, but sadly its impossible.
Its "simply lesser evil" vs "big evil"
But in the end, "lesser evil" > "big evil"
Its an eternal problem. Like saving 500 people or 499 people sinking ships. Or cutting an arm to survive (which btw has hidden repercussions and dying can sometimes be "better").

(Not to say its acceptable but that its a far better temporary solution compared to "companies supporting AAA being full of crap". And possibly a first step to "cleansing" of market = killing a chicken to scare the monkeys = CEO dont do their jobs means GTFO)
(And seriously, sole true solution would be something else but if said, would be CLEARLY illegal or report-worthy. That or having a "gamer" in control. Or a saint)

Not really searching them. Nor even subscribed to ANYTHING (truly anything, none).
Just happened to see by chance.

Found it funny : "dog bite dog"

That's the algorithm. If you stop watching them, they'll stop popping up.

Yesnt.

I have my youtube history deleted.
In fact yesterday and only kept Hololive before.
Its more of a reddit thing. Bc i was looking something related to gaming and found this thing. (and again, not interested in ubisoft or AC ; not totally un-interested, but more like "indifference" nor bothered to search for stuff related to it to cause algorithm to give stuff of it)

Examples of my algorithm btw :

cough @Woolen_Bat_Monkey wtf you doing in my algorithm btw ?
---------
That and wholesome stuff like "MadeMeSmile" + "Awww" (check profile posts i sometimes recently did)
Welp, here an example.

 

[LilRora]

I wish that was true, but YouTube has partners and they get data from far more sites than their own; you would need to literally disappear from most social media, forums, and apps to really get rid of some content.

Not to mention you can't really prove YT is completely objective and the algorithm completely unbiased... plus it's probably randomized to some degree.

+1

True that.
and algorithms arent perfect.

On algorithm topic,
a while ago, i resetted my youtube history a few times. And each time, algorithm always seem to recommend certain HIGH VIEWS shorts or videos to me, despite clearly not interested in it.
For example, Hololive algorithm, it always give this #short video of Chloe trying to fry cooking something DESPITE NEVER WATCHING ONCE HER VIDEOS. Just bc : oh it got millions views so you will like it (and not trying to rec something else but spam in the corner)

Also a more relatable to everyone.
>Watch 1 video of something
> Algo : Hey this user like this stuff and not the 9999 videos of same thing, let's spam its feed from this NEW TOPIC ! I'm like its a good choice !
--------------------
ps TIP : Incognito is op. I never used it for nsfw stuff (real), and somehow found it very useful to counter algorithms. And btw its possible to let uBLOCK (origin) to be also activated in "incognito".

 

[ConansWitchBaby]

Just use ublock and noscript.

 

[Deleted member 76176]

The video was posted on r/Asmongold subreddit, which Tsuru frequently visits, 12 hours ago. I doubt rectifying YouTube algorithm is going to help much considering the sub ( and Reddit as a whole) seems to be a hub for that kind of content.

 

[2wordsperminute]

I mean the youtube algorithm kind of sucks anyways, mostly gives me videos that I would never watch and have never watched anything similar to.

 

[Ellieporter]

Well... I've gotten to the point where I appreciate the games being released by the devs and the companies.

Imo, what's important in a game is the gameplay itself. I mean, we didn't pay for it just to cum at how good the graphics are or to watch an endless chronicle of cutscenes.

Micro transactions existed by way before it was stigmatized now and if I can afford it, I'll be sure as heck to buy it (if its like skins, costumes or extra charas that have 0.002% of appearing if you farm it.)
