- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

"oo be soft" because they're a French company (at least originally). The "you" sound for U isn't really in their language.
It's actually pronounced like the word Hue more or less (slightly shorter,the first half) it's pronouced as such " hue - bee - soft "and the you sound is very much present in our language, for exemple baillou or caillou.
I just meant to say that it wasn't typically a sound used for just the letter U, but fair enough! I stand corrected. I'll gladly learn a lesson at the hands of a native lol
I've always said it with "you" but that makes sense.
I was only curious because of the "an" before ubisoft in the comment I replied to. If it was the "you" sound it wouldn't feel right to say out loud and it confused me lol
Thank you for the lesson!
