What about Valve?
I am so thankful that the executives took a productivity and happiness survey when we went full time remote.
Any time a new manager brings up maybe we should return to the office, our offcial remote manual begins with data: we are far more productive remote working. There is the data, the proof.
The second part about being overall happier reminds us that we didn’t really like being in the office either.
We also have two more metrics: amount of time saved by a company in commute reduction, and the increase in safety.
But the first two are the most important.
Merde alors.
I stopped buying Unisoft games decades ago. Because they suck. The owners suck. The management sucks. The corporate culture sucks. I feel bad for the coders working for them.
Stop. Buying. Ubisoft. Games.
You just sail the high seas and never pay a single cent.
And you should! But most of them still aren’t worth the download.
Ubislop. I stopped buying them after AC2.
I tried to uninstall a game but was blocked because I didn’t remember my ubisoft launcher password. Wtf, its my PC get the fuck out
Probably wanna check
BulkCrapUninstaller for windows. https://www.bcuninstaller.com/
It’s pretty good.
very nice, thanks for the link.
Revo Uninstaller is really good too.
Or as someone else mentioned, just ditch windows. It’s a sinking ship. I’ll end my spiel there.irunarchbtw
Or just drop Winblows and finally move to freedom by installing a good Linux distro.
A Linux native version might even be worse. At least in windows you can usually just delete the directory out of \program files or wherever. Linux applications tend to insert themselves into every corner of your filesystem
The last Ubisoft games I played to the end were AC: Black Flag and Watch Dogs, which were both like 12-13 years ago. Neither game was GOOD, but they seemed decent to me at the time. I’ve play tested a few titles since then since then, all of which were hot garbage. Ubisoft is as dead to me as EA these days.
siege was pretty cool for the first two years
So Ubisoft, that failed hard on their own launcher. Made several mistakes when it comes to the games they’ve released, made the wrong kind of news with “The Crew 2”, cancelled a bunch of games (but don’t worry, Beyond Good and Evil 2 is definitely coming out…), goes and fired a lead designer.
Let me break out my magnifying glass to check on their stocks. Oh, they made a slight “comeback” from earlier this week, they’re up to 92 cents a share.
Mgmt at that place is making bold decisions for a company; when if their stock gains a penny, it’s worth celebrating.
TIL ubisoft is a french company. didn’t know an european company can be this anti-worker.
Picking fights with French workers seems an especially bad idea
America creates the blueprint. As they say, we are #1 (at speedrunning towards a cyberpunk dystopia)
In most companies, your contract forbids you from talking about your employer on social platforms or in the media if it’s going to affect the company’s reputation.
Is there a company that’s trying to trying to destroy itself as much as Ubisoft? The CEO and board that’s running this company are genuinely some of the dumbest motherfuckers in the world. These idiots are still dedicating significant resources to make NFT games, they’re still trying to insist that microtransactions are fun, they refuse to do anything to make their enjoyable to players, and they’re trying everything in their power to squeeze out their talent. At this point, Ubisoft deserves to collapse.
They released one game last year that I’d expect to make money (Assassin’s Creed 14).
Not sure how they’re actually in business right now. Surely they need more than that to stay afloat. None of their microtransaction games are whale milking machines like EA’s FIFA/Madden or Activision’s COD series.
I’ll kind of miss them when they’re gone. They’ve always been the least evil of the big publishers.
Ubisoft is one of the least evil? I guess to a point, but I’d argue they haven’t made a truly great game in about a decade.
No real loss in my opinion.
Assassin’s Creed 14
What the fuck there’s 14 Assassin’s Creed games? Surely they’re gonna run out of historical periods soon. It’s only a matter of time before the announce Assassin’s Creed: Unga Bunga where you just sneak around the forest as a cave man
They already did that in Far Cry Primal…
They got a cash injection from their parent company
I’ve been waiting for Ubisoft’s collapse for years now. Unfortunately, the consumer has proved me wrong time and time again.
And yet there are still a lot of players who buy their games lol.
I still don’t understand why the general public continues to buy games from this group of morons. I can’t see the good quantity of Ubisoft titles that appealed to me or my friends enough to purchase
So that’s why they just sent me an updated policy, good for reminding me I still gotta delete that account.
Sharing feedback or opinions respectfully does not lead to a dismissal. We have a clear Code of Conduct that outlines our shared expectations for working together safely and respectfully, which employees review and sign each year.
It’s shaming them publicly that did it.
It’s a real shame the first amendment only applies to congress.
Ubisoft, they are still alive. Wow. Well not much longer we can hope.
This is why I’m so happy I’m 3000 miles away from my office. No way I’m getting a call back to office. Never was and never will be.
The company I worked for (late stage startup) was bought by a giant mega corp, which has an office nearby. Literally my first month there and they announced a return to office policy.
Time to organize
