Given Ubi's recent downfall, I won't be surprised at all if this is all true.
What they and others really need to reflect is how they ended up being this mess.

Go to HR for missing an emoji? Man, working in such a place must be hell on earth.

Clear out all the activists. Clean house. Start making actual good games again.
Ubisoft used to be a pioneer in the field.

I watch his stuff. I take him at his word, seems trustworthy. Hell, look at Ubisoft. They're a complete dumpster fire but there's gotta be tons of employees who want to help air some dirt to spur a change in culture/leadership.

Reads like GAF Wokenstein fan fiction but also it's 2024 so absolutely no doubt half of it is true.

Reads like bullshit to me. Just taken elements of the recent Firewalk stuff and regurgitated it.

The only thing that is 100% accurate is that the delay is without a doubt NOT for fixing bugs. All delays came out buggy af no matter what.

I wonder how this happened. Like was it just one bad person got into a role in hiring and picked the most toxic people possible to poisened the culture? Its one thing to hire diversity, I'm completely for that, no one should be judged by their race/skincolor/sex, it should all be skill based and best for job, but what I am VERY much against is agenda hiring (be it strait white male agenda, trans genda, women's agenda, doesn't matter, its all a horrible practice to intentionally excludes people and just makes the whole world more pissed off). It sounds like UBI got someone inside that agenda hired to "fight the man/them" and made sure to put in people that are on the extreme side and made the company a living hell to work at.

Have you ever worked with these folks? Anything and everything offends them. So if it is true, it wouldn't be surprising at the least.That Emoji comment must be BS surely?

Sir, did you know you were posting this without a smiley?
Sir, you're guilty of the same crime.
Not sure what to think about it, on one hand, it seems a bit extreme, on the other hand... even if all the leads etc. are wokies, then obviously no matter what happens nothing will change. Because imagine if board of directors issued an internal memo of making a bit more 'mainstream' characters - it'd leak as fast as your intelligence after dyeing your hair pink, causing another shitstorm and possibly more discriminatory investigations.
If this is true, there's literally no saving Ubisoft from woke virus.

Some younger people assume that if you don't use emojis, the "tone" of your emails is too harsh. It's crazy dude.

Lol. If someone at work sent me an email full of emojis I'd thought they are unprofessional or maybe even drunk.

I call bullshit. I'll wait for Colin Moriarty and his imaginary source to get to the bottom of this.

I'm just waiting for the day where "microaggression" is not enough and we'll need a new term, like "nanoaggression"
edit: after posting this as a joke, I googled "nanoaggression"... and of course it already exist, we're doomed

Can they without addressing the elephant in the room? They tend to shy away from news like this when it makes their types look bad. I watched a Kyle Bossman video about the situation and he handwaved the more unsavory bits to keep his audience happy. Same with MrMattyPlays, Luke Stephens, and Destin Legarie. I expect Skill Up to have a spineless take as well.

From the second you do not use the best people for the job, you are doomed to failure - or at the very best, mediocrity.

I remember when it was perfectly fine to be a liberal and still somewhat grounded in reality, until social media accelerated people into libtards and shitlibs, thus creating an equal and opposite reaction. I absolutely believe corporate culture is infested with this cancerous mindset, in fact most companies are barely functioning only by the grace of the old maintenance guys whove thanklessly kept the building from burning down all these years.

Thats the modern problem, but for since ages those companies know that listen to feedback is so fucking crucial.
And now we are hearing that listen to the feedback hurt someones feelings, wtf.
I send a feedback to the ND studios about the Rise of The Triad Remastered over the steam and some of the devs behind the game actually complain about my critic.
If someone don't believe about this toxic positivity, just look at my conversation here.
I really can't imagine going into a workplace like that. Culture war is doing some mad shit in gaming this year.

Women are very emotional creatures, and imagine deadline is encrouching, stress lvls get high, some negative reviews/news hit the company, they will be first to break upon any difficulties
