That might be a tad out of UBI's remitThey should be monitoring why their population is growing and their gdp per person is going down.
...Unless they're working on new crowd tech

No reviews are legit because gaming media has lost its credibility. Doesn’t matter if it’s positive or negative.

Ok man, you're a nice person and the rest of us are shitty chuds and lowering your IQ, we get it.
Now, get off that pretentious, holier than thou attitude and try to not get triggered by different opinions.
PS: you should definitely feel dumber since you're eating up whatever PR slop a multimillion company is throwing at you.
The point = over your head, this isn't about weird individuals sending death threats over DMs or what have you, this is a calculated, preemptive PR stunt from Ubisoft getting ready to cry wolf in case things don't go their way.
I’ll remember to post this in the review thread to let everyone know that NeoGAF has decided to not acknowledge reviews of this game unless they are negative.

Are we talking like Se7en harassment? Or like...Frosk harassment?
If you threaten somebody's life, loved ones or Place of residence, yeah. Fuck you into the Sun.
If you sue me for saying you look funny and have a company full of ass grabbers, then, well...I guess fuck you into the Sun, too, then!

Can you specify a single case in which a Ubisoft employee was effectively harassed on social media so they needed lawyers to prevent it? Just in case you forgot what this crime is all about, it's something like this:
Former Ubisoft bosses on trial in France accused of sexual harassment
Three former top executives from French video game giant Ubisoft, the maker of "Assassin's Creed" and "Far Cry", went on trial on Monday accused of psychologically and sexually harassing employees for…

Oh Ubi, ever the "victims."

Have these people never heard of the Streisand effect? This will encourage some people to go on a rampage.
However, the story about AC Shadows has become so worn out that people will most likely ignore it completely.
Then Ubisoft will use the excuse of online hate for the game's low sales.

You're not doing a very good job of ignoring this thread.FFS, another one...
I'm so effin' tired from these threads about "what Ubisoft done wrong and why you should not buy and play ACS" for the hundredth time it feels like.
Thank fuck for the ability to ignore threads like this with just a few clicks.

“Free speech” doesn’t exist in Canada. They call it that, but it’s highly restrictive compared to the U.S.

Ubisoft really is the easiest developer to hate. People like myself have stood by positions saying things like "Far Cry 2 is greatest FPS game of all time." For other's it's Rainbow Six Vegas 2 or the OG Ghost Recon Games and even the AC 1 and 2. Yet time after time, year after year, they never take the titles that are worth while and innovate with the gameplay, and make those beloved games even sicker, they simply recycle gameplay elements that are in many cases worse than the games they originally appeared in. Now, that isn't enough for them so they have to inject their own personal politics into a game that was founded by a multicultural team of various religious faiths and beliefs. It's a disgrace.

as a canadian, let me just say that ubisoft's studio is in quebec, which basically exists in their own reality. So don't lump them with the rest of Canada.

Not a good look for the company. You piss off the Japanese and then hire a bunch of lawyers because you're, unsurprisingly, afraid of criticism. Ubisoft is full of employees who are overgrown children. Emotionally under-developed adults.

I'd join you, but the YooKay is even worse for this shite.
I'm pretty sure sending an email to their support will be classed as harrassment so I wouldn't recommend that.

The year is 2025. Internet gamer chuds have amassed more power than the Mexican cartels. No game becomes a top seller without their blessing. Billion dollar publishers crumble at their whim. Opposition developers are forced to go into hiding. Changing their names. Move to another state or country. Even getting cosmetic surgery to change their appearance. It matters little because no corner of God’s earth is beyond the reach of the chuds.

The hateboner for Ubisoft and ACS is genuinely pathetic, like everyday they shit on it as if their lives depends on it. I am starting to wonder if it's a kink at this point or the fact that they are such losers that the fact that something might be bad gives them a hard on so they can trash it everyday to make themselves feel better because the level of hate in their hearts is baffling. "OMG IN ACS YOU CAN CUT GRASS; LAME!" like lol...FFS, another one...

Explain how 19 thousand people losing their jobs would be good for the greater good of the industry? Do you work in the industry?

How 19 thousand people gonna lose their jobs exactly? Really, restrain yourself for jumping the olympics.
They failing the game or the company failing doesn't necessarilly implies losing their jobs, it means they could restructure or being bought by a better company with better management. And I'm saying in good faith here, because I'm not entirelly sure of this implication as if a random person has the power to fire thousands of people. If theres people who has the power to fire is the bosses inside the company, wishing for someone to be fired is meanless.
