Phegan, do games w Ubisoft's Board is Launching an Investigation Into The Company Struggles

Absolutely not. When the board is looking into it, it’s because they are not returning shareholder value and they are pissed about it. This will likely end with the C-suite being butchered.

Ah yes, I hate being butchered that way, too. It sucks hard to be paid to leave before you get paid extra to start your next job elsewhere.

And don’t get me wrong, if the C-suites actually ever had to take actual responsibility for their fuck-ups, I’d be all for those board investigations. But they don’t. They get paid enough to not care about interims between jobs - just look at the CEO who said people can just spend a year on the beach or so if they’ve been laid off - plus they get paid extra both on the leaving and on the re-hiring.

If they had to pay all non-salary money back on fucking up, even retroactively, no matter how many Porsches they’d have to liquidate to get the money from X years of fucking up the company back, sure. Do it. But that’s just sadly not the case. For a C-suite, this just means changing what name is written under your name, and moving on to the next place you can grift.

they can start by just making games as gamers want it,not inserting lame ass political agendas in their games or hire politically correct nutjobs to determine how games should be inclusive.

What you mean is making games how you want them to be, not the overwhelming majority of gamers. Stop thinking everything is an agenda designed to limit your freedom.

frostmore,

PunchingWood, do games w Ubisoft Cancels Press Previews of Assassin's Creed Shadows

Gonna wait and see what their statement is.

If it’s that they’re gonna change something in the game, I doubt it’s gonna be related to the (black) main character. I can’t imagine it would be an easy fix to fully replace him with a different character at this point.

If people really find it such a big deal I think best they could do is to let people choose their own main male character, like Odyssey and Valhalla.

lowleveldata,

I feel like the discussion is way past “the main character is black” at this point

PunchingWood,

Pretty sure it’s not. Have you seen the average discussions about the game?

lowleveldata,

Ya. What I have seen is mainly related to Ubisoft saying the game is history accurate but it is not at all that. Also they used some stolen / AI generated assets when promoting the game. Also it is disrespectful to have a foreigner going around killing Japanese.

Ledivin,

:Also it is disrespectful to have a foreigner going around killing Japanese.

This part is fucking stupid but the rest makes sense.

lowleveldata,

It’s one of those things that you won’t care generally but stands out when other things make you think they might be not respectful

Inaccuracies, both historical and caused by a general lack of research. Stolen assets that they have no right to use, some of which could be considered culturally insensitive. Differences in the English and Japanese “apology” letter which make it seem like they’re disregarding the Japanese, or attempting to turn the rest of the world against them. General lack of polish.

VelvetStorm,

From what I understand he is not THE main character he is one of the two main characters.

It would be impossible to replace him at this point in the development and other than the super hard-core racists I don’t think anyone wants that at all.

supangle, do gaming w EA Play Subscription Price Being Hiked By 80% in Some Regions

gamepass and other subscription services wouldn’t exist in the first place if steam had some trial gameplay, i know you can buy something and refund it in the first two hours but average gamer doesn’t know this

Rolive, do gaming w EA Play Subscription Price Being Hiked By 80% in Some Regions

Hmm and i wanted to get 1 month of ultimate just to play Jedi survivor once.

Crowfiend, do gaming w CD Projekt CFO does "not see a place for microtransactions in single-player games"

Man, DD just keeps losing to CD Projekt. I remember DD originally came out for console right when I made the switch to PC, and when they finally released on PC? Same exact day as Witcher 3 release.

Something something shadow of giants.

Like honestly, DD devs clearly don’t think things through, and if I didn’t absolutely love the first one, I wouldn’t be giving 2 as much slack as I am.

SkybreakerEngineer, do games w Kingmakers: Medieval Warfare Sim Meets Time Travel and Attack Choppers

This is going to cause so many remakes of that one scene from GATE.

dingleberry, do games w Microsoft Plans to Close The Activision Blizzard Acquisition Next Week, Says Report

Say goodbye to TES 6 on PlayStation.

Blizzard,

That’s actually Bethesda’s who also got bought by Microshit so altough what you’re saying is true, it’s not relevant to this aquisition.

dingleberry,

It’s in the leaked MS future plans to make TES 6 exclusive if the deal goes through.

Blizzard,

Oh yeah, I read about it earlier, I didn’t know it depends on this deal.

PM_ME_FEET_PICS,

You’re an idiot.

Wodge,
@Wodge@lemmy.world avatar

That deal already went through. It’s why Starfield is an Xbox console exclusive.

Willie,

I thought TES6 was already not going to be on PlayStation.

Probably the result of Bethesda having to answer to Microsoft who gives final approval.

Wondering if they’ll re-record the late Reddick’s lines to have the voice sound uniform throughout the campaign, like what happened with the Ghost back in the day.
