morally or historically? would guess 100-750 per person in the class action. started by 2 people october 3rd. so if you can get enough people on it sure. says they have more than 100 class actioners, asking for excess of 5,000,000.00 doesn't look like billions.
It's selling the data without informing the customers, so they can't consent to it. Meta will just be able to claim they had no idea Ubisoft weren't informing the customer and that's enough to get them out of it.
Imagine you're getting low priced car which in market has a very high price, now you bought it obviously but you didn't know that the seller stole that car, so if something happens you just have the benefit of the doubt.

I hate Ubisoft but this is way too clumsy. Third game is set in Rome, so not even kinda one of the first, and it's set 1000 years after the fall of Rome so the sequel stuff makes no sense either.
@@naddanadda-h6lFirst of all, the BARE MINIMUM way you could define “One of the First” has to include the first and second game, meaning that the only way you can exclude the third game is to use the definition with the least amount of games possible. And second, while yes it would be a prequel, many people still use sequel as a broad term to describe a piece of media that comes out after another, even if it should be considered a prequel or spinoff. So I really don’t think it’s a huge issue. (Edit: The original comment did also say it was a sequel *Mimicking* the fall of rome, not necessarily that the hypothetical “downfall of Ubisoft” game would take place during the fall of rome.)
The conspiracy is the owners are doing to get more shares for nothing the guillemont's, or however you spell it. That's why they are having internal investigations right now. I think it's incompetency, though. 😅
It's amazing to watch the wheels just come off a billion-dollar enterprise. It's like these people had no internal standards or corporate structure - like there were no fallbacks, just a constant reliance on every project to succeed or the company would tank.
They had multiple underperforming games, you can't really expect any company to have enough money to compensate hundreds of employees working for multiple years. When you hear from the people who worked on Skull & Bones for example, they could have told you how wasteful and inefficient the development was years in advance. The wheels didn't just come of, they finally gave out after years of neglected maintenance.
I still remember the day buying AC Black Flag on steam on sale, having to download their launcher and getting an error of "you don't have right key for this game" and Ubisoft customer respond was well can't help you there bucko.

I mean, it's not like anyone could have predicted a tech company mishandling personal data for corporate gain. It’s almost as if respecting privacy was just a suggestion, not a requirement."
I remember one day my Ubisoft, Epic Games and EA account were hacked simultaneously, then I discovered there was a data breach among one of them. Don't involve with these corps or else you'll end up like me.
At this point I really want them to go bankrupt before AC Shadows’ new launch window and have it not be released AT ALL just to see how (if at all) it affects the market and industry going forward
They will most likely be bought, or announced a buyout before that game releases, sadly, for what I've seen, it's most likely going to get bought by Tencent, and they were already friendly towards each other (seems like Tencent saved them from a hostile take over), and now they will buy them to keep the CEO from losing power over the company, let's hope I'm wrong, and Tencent does change something, but I really wouldn't expect anything.

Every few years we got the perfect shitstorm situation. This years when we thought it already passed Ubisoft one up themselves. It's so entertaining to be alive.
This is what happens when mismanagement and user backstabbing looks like. This is not the Ubisoft company i knew when growing up (Rayman, Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell, etc.).
They really were my favorite company. AC, Rabbits, Farcry, Watchdogs. Oh how the mighty have fallen... and hit every possible rock and edge on the way down.😂
Sadly this is what all companies do, or do you really think Microsoft, EA, Rockstar, Sony and any other company that requires an account to play their games or use their services is not selling your data or doing something with that data that you didn't agree with?
At that point, I would be inclined to believe that at some point these CEO met at a party, got drunk, and then made a bet on who would sink their company the fasterst, and looks like Ubi is making a sprint to the finish line
Ubisoft games have so much value: buy overprice trashy AAA game, get 20 hours playtime, get ur data stolen. Im baffled ss to why ubisoft is doing poorly
Nonsense, nobody in corporate world gets jailed for violating privacy or ownership rights. At worst company will be fined few millions and promise to get better (they wont). Laws for thee not for me.
If the US treats corporations like people in legal terms then they should shut the company down for 20 years. See what the share price looks like then.
In the US, a recent supreme court ruling has made individuals in companies more easily subject to criminal punishment rather than civil punishments for the company
I mean, it's almost all of them, Ubi, EA, Sony, I don't know if Activision, never even went in the product page of one of their games, at this point, it's harder to find a company that won't ask for your data, and it's only going to get worse, unless things like SKG and other laws start to pass, and we get out consumer rights and protection back and away from companies.
They just moved the Mirage assassin creed game to steam, since not enough people bought it, when it was uplay only. Of course, they still demand you have uplay, to play it, so they can sell the data. But based on the messages written in the steam forum, it does not look like players are happy with them.
I love how the years will go by and the Studio with " Worse company title" is always changing between the same few. Either EA, Activision, Ubisoft, and Blizzard. Now not so much Activision.
I get never buying one, but never even PIRATED one? Really? Old ubisoft is goated. They deserve the hate today but if you never tried their old games, you're not a gamer. You're just in the hate bandwagon for attention
Even selling user data to Ubisoft was not profitable enough. Everyone needs to understand that this AAA companies should NEVER be encouraged to play by their own rules again
So they want to overcharge me for a game AND make money off my personal information. Wish this wasnt normal corporate behavior, but seems like another Wednesday.
Remember guys, these are the same people who attack and belittle gamers for not spending their precious money on the nonsense of this company, now they have the nerve to sell people's information?!This is crazy.
They said via pixel so all this actually means is when someone clicks on a Ubisoft Facebook ad and then buys a game, it shows up as a conversion in the analytics as an anonymized statistic, which is then used by the Facebook algorithm to optimize the ad same as clicks and engagements and whatnot, and it also shows you how well the ad is performing. Everyone does this and I'd have a hard time believing they don't have a clause in the privacy policy that covers this when pretty much any standard template would, and it also would be covered by a cookie notice because that's all it is.
Hopefully Microsoft lets them burn out to buy them for cheaper so they can just remaster the classics and make the games affordable again because I’m tired of needing a Ubisoft account just to play some of the titles through game pass.
Just to clarify. Sharing user data via facebook pixel doesn't earn you any money. It's just a additional set of data you can send on your ad-conversion-tracking (data that shows how many people coming from an ad have purchased your product) to make it more accurate. Facebook then uses the data to match conversions with the user data, wich is useful since some people block 3d-party tracking software or cookies.
I have a sneaky suspicion that the get-out clause for UBI will be in the agreement you make when signing up, it'll be there and it'll be "we can use your data however we choose" But in those instances, it should be an upfront thing like it is with services like Google, it's there right at the start of an agreement you click when using Google for the first time or after you've cleared cookies, etc. They have to do this otherwise it's manipulative for consumers to expect that they aren't going to use your data. That's why most websites have an opt-in action for your use of their service when you first use it. If UBI don't have this, then it is a manipulative practice and can be sued.
Damn, if they continue this way, they really need to sell AC:S at like 200 bucks... for the standard version. And they probably need to use the few months they have to fit even more monetization into the game. Perhaps the characters should have levels, which go down by one each day, and you need to buy a level for 12.99 to make up for it...? Wait, I shouldn't give them ideas.
Is it the reason why I keep getting Yasuke's article from different organizations and constant Ubisoft ads showing on my Facebook timeline? I don't even use Facebook that much.
They also refunded pre-orders supposedly. They claimed they were going to in the announcement, but I didn't pre-order it so I cannot personally confirm if they did. But they definitely said they were going to.
Ubisoft does actually have a privacy policy that links to a list of sites which will access cookies on the browser, including Meta/FB. Not sure if this will go anywhere legally.
Couple years back me and the boys played RS6 Siege. Ubi implemented automatic ban system in the chat that banned you for speaking Spanish. If you were to state in chat, that your opponents uniform is black, therefore you did not see him in darkness (which almost every uniform in this game is by the way) speaking Spanish, you would be banned for 7 days. it's real, I tested it, I got banned an after 7 days i just never felt like coming back. Ubi saved me from themselves.
1:11 that’s basically what the price is gonna be for it here in NZ as all our games get the exchange rate added onto them so instead of paying around 70 like you lot do, we have to pay around 100+ in NZD which imo is bullshit
This is when you dig enough to see the bottom but you won’t stop because you are wondering how deeper this goes… eventually you will find nothingness and this is where Ubisoft is heading to

Fanboys/girls of any kind make me cringe to my bone.
I mean, it's almost all of them, Ubi, EA, Sony, I don't know if Activision, never even went in the product page of one of their games, at this point, it's harder to find a company that won't ask for your data, and it's only going to get worse, unless things like SKG and other laws start to pass, and we get out consumer rights and protection back and away from companies.
@@Beadiman they complained for helldivers... And uh... Only helldivers...
I would hate to be a Ubisoft shareholder rn
And this is just Ubisoft.. there's no way they're the only company doing this
The tears of a Monitization Director 😂😂😂
They just moved the Mirage assassin creed game to steam, since not enough people bought it, when it was uplay only.
Of course, they still demand you have uplay, to play it, so they can sell the data.
But based on the messages written in the steam forum, it does not look like players are happy with them.

@@tanmoymridha5002holy cow 😅 I don’t know if that was intended by op but that’s fantastic & imma use it in future
I love how the years will go by and the Studio with " Worse company title" is always changing between the same few. Either EA, Activision, Ubisoft, and Blizzard. Now not so much Activision.
I feel vindicated having never purchased (or pirated) a Ubisoft game.
You’ve never played an assassins creed, far cry or Tom Clancy game? Damn you’re missing out. You know UA-cam sells all your data as well right??
You're not missing out. It's just mass produced slop.
That is not called "vindication". That is called being a "non participant".
@@livamyyo the old assassin's creed games are anything but slop.
I get never buying one, but never even PIRATED one? Really? Old ubisoft is goated. They deserve the hate today but if you never tried their old games, you're not a gamer. You're just in the hate bandwagon for attention
AAA gaming went from the best gaming experiences to the worst experiences to actual crimes.
Oh snap, they took Shadows off the Xbox store and Xbox usually has no problem selling falsely advertised products 😮
They did that because they moved the release date and refunded all pre-purchases for now.
@@Jarnis-v1cyou were still able to pre-purchase the game again if you wanted to, with which they would include expansions for you for free.
Even selling user data to Ubisoft was not profitable enough. Everyone needs to understand that this AAA companies should NEVER be encouraged to play by their own rules again

They really are fighting to the bitter end... i expected a french studio to surrender far earlier🤣
So they want to overcharge me for a game AND make money off my personal information. Wish this wasnt normal corporate behavior, but seems like another Wednesday.
Remember guys, these are the same people who attack and belittle gamers for not spending their precious money on the nonsense of this company, now they have the nerve to sell people's information?!This is crazy.
I saw this pitfall happen years ago, that's why I haven't bought a Ubisoft game since The Division 2.
This is the reason why I stop buying Ubisoft games since 2013, I don't recommend anyone use something else besides steam.
This honestly just seems like another attempt to get a bottomed out bankruptcy filing.
"well well well"
You know it's going to be good when it starts that way
Star wars outlaws unfortunately didn't bail them out 😂🤣
"unfortunately"
When game company prioritizes making money over making a good quality games
to be fair, i dont think they really desrve a break
It just gets better, the bill finally comes due. May the Ubisoft be the first of many scummy publishers to fall.
It's like 4AM in the morning, why am I still up?
Same haha
🎶I- ayyyyyyy AM a maaaaan of constant soroooooooow 🎶
They said via pixel so all this actually means is when someone clicks on a Ubisoft Facebook ad and then buys a game, it shows up as a conversion in the analytics as an anonymized statistic, which is then used by the Facebook algorithm to optimize the ad same as clicks and engagements and whatnot, and it also shows you how well the ad is performing. Everyone does this and I'd have a hard time believing they don't have a clause in the privacy policy that covers this when pretty much any standard template would, and it also would be covered by a cookie notice because that's all it is.
Hopefully Microsoft lets them burn out to buy them for cheaper so they can just remaster the classics and make the games affordable again because I’m tired of needing a Ubisoft account just to play some of the titles through game pass.
Microsoft's current leadership is just as incomptetent as Ubisoft's though
Just to clarify. Sharing user data via facebook pixel doesn't earn you any money. It's just a additional set of data you can send on your ad-conversion-tracking (data that shows how many people coming from an ad have purchased your product) to make it more accurate. Facebook then uses the data to match conversions with the user data, wich is useful since some people block 3d-party tracking software or cookies.
A french president said "les emmerdes ça volent toujours en escadrille" meaning "shits always fly as a squadron". Little french ref for ubi
Which president was that? A hilarious and very true utterance!
@@stalhandske9649 it was Jacques Chirac fyi. But yeah its very true, you usually get hit by multiple BS at the same time
That "I Am a Man Of Constant Sorrow", playing on the background at the end 🤣
At this point, i'm starting to believe that the "monetisation director" is more than a criminal
Playing "Man of constant Sorrow" in the background at the end is a nice touch. Well done.
I have a sneaky suspicion that the get-out clause for UBI will be in the agreement you make when signing up, it'll be there and it'll be "we can use your data however we choose"
But in those instances, it should be an upfront thing like it is with services like Google, it's there right at the start of an agreement you click when using Google for the first time or after you've cleared cookies, etc.
They have to do this otherwise it's manipulative for consumers to expect that they aren't going to use your data. That's why most websites have an opt-in action for your use of their service when you first use it. If UBI don't have this, then it is a manipulative practice and can be sued.
Asmongold had to try so hard to pretend he was surprised....
image being someone that works at ubisoft who was on 2 week vacation and coming back to work and your building is on fire
'Company is dead, sell what we can and bounce' kind of situation.
MAGGA: Make all games great again!
i thought it was over for ubisoft 5 days ago
Ubishaft is like diddy and going 100% on some weirdass Achievements run.
After years of darkness we start to see the light :)
French here. You think you hate Ubisoft enough, but you don't.
Someone show Asmon Silent Hill 2 Remake "counselor" quotes. Where he says the world was a better place without gamers and so on.
Damn, if they continue this way, they really need to sell AC:S at like 200 bucks... for the standard version. And they probably need to use the few months they have to fit even more monetization into the game. Perhaps the characters should have levels, which go down by one each day, and you need to buy a level for 12.99 to make up for it...? Wait, I shouldn't give them ideas.
Every company sells information like this. If it has 100 employees or more it's 100% happning
Is it the reason why I keep getting Yasuke's article from different organizations and constant Ubisoft ads showing on my Facebook timeline? I don't even use Facebook that much.
They also refunded pre-orders supposedly. They claimed they were going to in the announcement, but I didn't pre-order it so I cannot personally confirm if they did. But they definitely said they were going to.
Ubisoft does actually have a privacy policy that links to a list of sites which will access cookies on the browser, including Meta/FB. Not sure if this will go anywhere legally.
Couple years back me and the boys played RS6 Siege. Ubi implemented automatic ban system in the chat that banned you for speaking Spanish. If you were to state in chat, that your opponents uniform is black, therefore you did not see him in darkness (which almost every uniform in this game is by the way) speaking Spanish, you would be banned for 7 days. it's real, I tested it, I got banned an after 7 days i just never felt like coming back. Ubi saved me from themselves.
"Thats not looking too good at all, isnt it" then proceed to smile, i got u man, i got u.
1:11 that’s basically what the price is gonna be for it here in NZ as all our games get the exchange rate added onto them so instead of paying around 70 like you lot do, we have to pay around 100+ in NZD which imo is bullshit
This is when you dig enough to see the bottom but you won’t stop because you are wondering how deeper this goes…
eventually you will find nothingness and this is where Ubisoft is heading to
