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.
Do you work in the industry? If not then you are just speculating from outside. So maybe you are the one jumping the universe? Because your take is awful!

If you've seen the recent news about Ubisoft, you'd know how. The Guillemots are trying to offshoot their best IPs under a new company that they would run, and leave the rest for dead, which means the overwhelming majority of employees will be left without jobs, because no one is buying a company with shit IP and 20k employees.

This is translated from French, but it's clear enough.
WTF people still use Google-shit-Translate in 2025 instead of running it through ChatGPT? Here, let me help you:

An Anti-Harassment Plan to Protect Employees

Achieving strong sales and critical success would boost morale at Ubisoft, which has been navigating rough waters. The company has faced backlash from anti-DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) movements over the game’s inclusion of a Black samurai. Additionally, the game’s Japanese setting sparked criticism from some Japanese players, who accused it of cultural betrayal. On top of that, rumors of a potential buyout have further destabilized the company.

Adding to these challenges is the ongoing trial of former Ubisoft executives accused of workplace harassment, further damaging the company’s already battered image.

Tensions remain high, especially for developers. To prevent online harassment, Ubisoft has implemented protective measures. “We’ve been advised not to mention on social media that we work at Ubisoft to avoid being targeted,” an employee revealed, recalling the numerous online attacks that have plagued the game since its announcement.

Ubisoft is taking these threats seriously. A comprehensive anti-harassment plan was even presented to employees in a corporate social committee (CSE) meeting ahead of the game’s launch. “It originated in Canada—there’s a team monitoring social media and responding swiftly to targeted attacks,” a union representative explained. Employees facing harassment will receive legal and psychological support. “Unlike before, this time they’re actually serious about it,” the representative emphasized.

A dedicated team will closely monitor posts on X (formerly Twitter), Reddit, and YouTube, ready to intervene at the first sign of trouble. Lawyers are already prepared to file lawsuits in cases of verified harassment.

Ubisoft now stands at a crossroads, and once again, its fate hinges on the success of its flagship title. If Assassin’s Creed Shadows triumphs, the company will buy itself some breathing room. If it fails to emerge from the shadows, it could plunge Ubisoft into an even deeper crisis. Some are eagerly anticipating the company’s downfall—but with nearly 20,000 employees at stake, such an outcome would be disastrous, not just for Ubisoft but for an industry already struggling to stay afloat.

Nothing to do with an ordinary person wishing them to fail. This is an internal problem that people outside has zero control or agency.

Again, wishing them to fail doesn't magically make them all fired(or fail for that matter). Thats not how that works, and the fella spamming "do you work in the industry" has an absolute terrible take similar to asking if a person ever work on a restaurant industry just because he find the food in a restaurant terrible and wishes for the chef to be fired.

Canada. We’re always the last bubble in the world to pop.

Maybe lower the price of the game 10 dollars and don’t hire an army of lawyers to defend “Susie Ubisoft” from being called out as a DEI hire who helps make garbage that plays like your HR training PowerPoint at work.
There is no such thing as a DEI hire. It is really infuriating seeing people so dumb to think that is even a thing. DEI would require you interview diverse candidates. If the white guys you interview are not the best, they don't get hired. Hiring is the responsibility of the hiring manager to get the work that he/she are responsible for done. No sane manager would put their career at risk to hire someone to fill a quota. This is made up bullshit.

Come on man...ofc thats a thing. Companies even tell you straight up and right away that they only want some "minority" people. Youre straight and white...bad luck, sir! Look somewhere else.

Dumb eh?

You’re absolutely incorrect are wildly ignorant. Were you awake during the even most recent air traffic controller news? LA fire fighter news? But let’s focus on publicity traded companies that make video games.

Quality candidates being turned away because of quotas. It happens publicly traded companies to qualify for DEI centric investments. Why don’t you look up how you can invest in DEI right now? I’m quite sure THIS industry is 10X more culturally infected than the LA fire department and all you need to do is follow the money.

Oh yeah the LA fire department was a good 'un.
you have to be a pretty sad bastard to go onto Twitter to give Devs a ballache over a game tbf
Eh.... I feel people have the right to critique the work of a developer.
And for some people a critique can cross over into a death threat.
You know what they say. Go hard or go home.

And if it's a death threat, it needs control of the plataform(it's their plataform and they should moderate as such) and an actual police investigation. Because you know, it's a serious matter.

But we all know it's not that. Just the usual criticism and dislike of the internet grouped as "harassment", with people quickly to side because "wow gamers are so sad to do that over a game" usual monologue. The usual unstable people over twitter send threats on their daily basys, because that's what twitter usually like, a residence for mental unstable people to give their voice and say whatever they want.
