What an absolutely dogshit headline.

"What is even more revolting, is coming on LinkedIn and seeing the same comments from people within the industry... How can you wish a company to fail simply because they do not cater to you or that the produce does not please you is beyond me. We are all on the same boat, please please please, stop spreading hate, we should all uplift each other instead of bringing each other down," said Chassard

He didn't blame anyone for the gaming industry being bad right now. He stated it was bad, and explained why certain groups acting a particular way were hurtful and counterproductive.

Y'all get up in arms about literally any poorly written headline, and then watch all these people reply and explain how he did actually say that gamers are indecent humans who are the cause of the decline of the gaming industry.

Ubisoft's business practices are part of why the industry sucks.

They're not caught in a tide with all the little indie studios. They're one of the 800-pound gorillas setting the rules everyone else has to play by.

I'm not saying to reward bad behavior, but to root for and assist with change. People are very good at adapting if we allow room for it. Thats just my perspective though, I know many have lost trust with Ubisfot. I just think they have an opportunity to change and earn it back.

I'd rather that then they go out of business.

First off,

"How can you wish a company to fail simply because they do not cater to you or that the produce does not please you is beyond me."

This isn't the reason people want Ubisoft to fail. Far from it, in fact. People want Ubi to fail because of how the company has conducted itself and how bad their products have declined. Wanting a company to fail because they make a bad product is a perfectly valid viewpoint. In fact, it is the very essence of how a free market should work. Bad things failing is a good thing.

Next,

"We are all on the same boat, please please please, stop spreading hate, we should all uplift each other instead of bringing each other down,"

No, there is no "WE". There is "YOU" and everyone else. Chassard, the Monetization Director, above all else, does not have the players' best interest in mind. His very existence means that elements of fun will be locked behind a purchase. He is the literal enemy in this scenario, so no, we are not on the same side. And nothing he has or ever will do as a monetization director is uplifting in any way.

I agree with you that the headline is poorly worded, but Chassard's statement is still total bullshit in my opinion.

You know the part you quoted is specifically talking about negative comments coming from people who work in the gaming industry right? Not the people who buy the games but the people who make them.

The rest of your reply is irrelevant because you are attacking a strawman.

[–] DillyDoobie@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

You didn't address a single point I made.

You don't even know what a strawman is.

You aren't even participating in this conversation in good faith.

You're literally being triggered into making an aggressive post because of your inability to control your own emotions and think rationally.

This is a very typical hollow response of a juvenile. You really are telling people a LOT about yourself by they way you've replied. Yelling strawman and providing absolutely nothing of substance isn't proving any sort of point.

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

Well one of us is triggered thats obvious.
