Don't believe any of the lies companies say "We are abandoning DEI politics". They are NOT abandoning these ideas they are simply rebranding and changing descriptions. Blackrock gives gaming companies money for FORCING behaviours.
@@kraosdadafusfus8034 Lmao the US government is RUN by Blackrock and their people. Infact the whole world is run by corpos like Blackrock you just dont "see" it. Follow the money.
I've been saying this for years, somebody has to be subsidizing the loses. Example Disney losing money on movie after movie after movie. Companies simply do not do this unless they have income coming in from other sources. Think of the movie itself as just an advertisement for virtue signaling and the actual income is coming from Black Rock etc.
It's not just them though, it's much deeper. The small regional charity I worked for adopted it STRONGLY without any big finance moneys at all. It was very much a social trend too.
As someone who once worked in a restaurant with a coworker who did nothing but take 20 minute smoke breaks and hid behind his race every time he was criticized, your speech about useless people is so spot on that it’s scary.
Yeah I remember when I worked in a restaurant as a busser, the dishwasher constantly called out and I had to fill in for him all the time while also doing my original job of cleaning tables. It was a small restaurant so they only had one dishwasher.
Let me be honest I think nobunaga gave yasuke a scroll or just said the order to him and he delivered it and because he was the only black guy in Japan who is gonna say he is lying now everyone wants to say he was a legendary samurai because a showboating prideful ruler gave him some land and cash and he let him hold his sword so he could boast about having a unique servant.
Do not trust the scorpion to not sting Do not say "we are winning"/"they are losing" They will try to be more subtle Always stay vigilant, never get complacent That is how it got so bad in the first place
I work at semi-outsource studio, and a year ago a Ubisoft dev joined us, dev who worked 15 years at Ubisoft 😮 imagine how bad it must be at Ubisoft that a dev with 15 years at Ubisoft joined Serbian-Russian studio, and he is indeed a superstar, the amount of stuff I learned from him in just two months is insane 😮 yet those crazy wokies pushing such people out of the office is crazy..
Admitting you've gotta change your lifestyle after the stage 4 cancer has already metastasized is a totally vein and meaningless gesture. They can abandon whatever "principles" led them towards decay all they want - I'm still not gonna buy anything they make, ever. That's the thing about trust: difficult to gain and very easy to lose.
Ubisoft is a Ship of Theseus at this point anyhow. So many older developers have probably left its probably essentially not Ubisoft anymore in everything other than name
Yeah, even the previous WTC bombing, or the bombing of the USS Cole, was covered in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it way on the news, and people talked of them -- if they did -- in a "Haha, aren't terrorists so dumb?" kind of way. That's just unthinkable now.
"Ubisoft ABANDONS DEI" I don't believe it til we see it & don't forget, we are just "winning a battle", not the war! As a Kirsche watcher, DEI won't be abandoned so easily.
I wouldn't be surprised if they skip the BRIDGE acronym because so many people already know about it and go straight to the next one... and then claim that BRIDGE was a "far right conspiracy".
It's known as the Pareto Principle. It applies to every human endavour and nobody can explain why, just that it always happens, with everything. Also anytime this ratio skews one or the other, systemic crises always follows. If it reverses you have something like the great terror in france, if it goes like it is now in the US you get things like ubisoft. Tons of great insights from the 80/20 rule alone. Worth anything you can read about it, especially the original work from Pareto.
And even in meritocracy you'd lead by example. When you get shit guidance, you do a shit job, more so if someone has your hands tied behind your back. Usually problems start at the top.
Best option for Ubisoft at this point is: 1. Cancel assassins creed shadows. 2. Apologize to everybody. 3. Sell the made assets of the game to a different company.
Dead weight is right...they got like 18k staff and yet the level of incompetence is nothing short of appalling and feel like some of the more unscrupulous folk in the industry in particular keep inventing new position on why they are somehow relevant in the industry and deserve a job position - ie consultations firms; the black myth studio quoted around 7 mill it was being black mailed just for consultation. The worst part is rather than cut costs where it matters they instead pass the costs onto the consumer all the while refusing to make products for said customers that are in demand and that they actually want to see - also why I laugh when they say slogans like games are too expensive to make, the misallocation of funds within these companies is baffling. Meanwhile you got some of these indie devs over here with 2 passionate dudes in their basement creating better games because they know what players actually want, because they are gamers themselves. Quality over quantity, that's what I always say. Studios these days seemed marred by politics, toxic positivity and a hatred for the very customers they are supposed to be serving and/or selling their products to. Like, its fine to have your beliefs as long as you leave it at the door when you come into work. The purity of gaming has been compromised by people who wish to use the medium to push propaganda, and what I can only assume to be votes...like they have already done to the rest of the entertainment industry that has crashed and burned (ie hollywood, or music artists like taylor swift pushing for certain candidates).
Heres a fun story. Before all this nonsense started, i was going to college to be a game dev. Covid stopped me and thank God it did. I couldve been a white guy in the woke game development industry.
@@RodentContainmentBreach If it really did, that company wouldn't be in such a deplorable state. They'd be thriving, and Hollowwood too. As you can see, neither of them are.
I saw an interview of a Ubisoft manager. In it, he proudly said, as if it was a good thing, than more than half the devs of AC Shadows never worked on any game before. I mean it's ok to have some beginners in a project, everybody need to learn at some point. But more than half ? Yeah they are dead weight.
They don't do anything, work is on commissions to overseas, is done by foreign companies in Asia for cheap labor and terrible conditions. With everything outsourced, Ubisoft just assembles the products and sells at high price. Just a common practice in all corporations.
I worked at Burger King for a few years and the amount of useless people was beyond belief. As soon as the GM left for the day and the shift manager came I was doing everything from kitchen to prep to cleaning, drive thru, front counter and even making sure the orders were going out. The shift manager always showed up late drunk
For a while, i felt like Ubi would easily be able to cut their staff by half without losing much of any value/talent. But now, I'm thinking that they could probably cut themselves down from almost 20k employees, to about 3k in order to trim off most of the deadweight/fat.

Ubisoft now has to find another MC to put in assassin's creed shadows asap before the deadline or they can forget about ignoring questions asking if they allow being bought by tencent
Just a reminder. Some of these superstar developers left to make their own studios. Rebel Wolves are former top CD Projekt Red Devs behind the Witcher Trilogy and Cyberpunk 2077 if I recall right. Blood of the Dawnwalker is from Rebel Wolves and you can *TELL* where the quality went.
Too late for me, I'll never go back to any of these brands that went along with this nonsense. Honestly, gaming just overall kinda sucks anymore imo, and other than the new Monster Hunter and that Vampire game, I honestly don't care for anything coming out this year so far. I'm pretty much back into retro mode, I miss being able to boot up games and just play, no internet connection needed :D
@@Bohdisattva326 I played HD2 a little bit, back when it had all the issues and never went back to it. Marvel Rivals looks cool, but I don't play online games anymore, more of a SP guy these days.
I'm currently playing Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. Loving it. If you haven't tried the Yakuza series, I recommend it. You can either start with 0 or the first Like a Dragon. Like you, I love single player games.
Ubisoft changing? Even if it’s true, it might be too late. Heck, Shadows was confirmed recently to require Denuvo & a Ubisoft account on PC. I don’t see things going well with news like that.
he was litterly.. (and forgive me for wording it so harshly grow up people) a pet monkey. in a time where africans werent everywhere.. they BOUGHT him because "haha big man...dance monkey dance" and made him be a sword bearer. that isnt a samurai. unless im tweaking.. i could have sworn this was what was clearly stated in history books and stuff. he never was a samurai/person with ANY honor
It's too late for Ubislop and If these devs moving forward are smart they won't listen to these loser journalists. Dead weight is an understatement for these DEI hires.
0:36 Even kids know the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet characters are designed terribly since kids already saw the mess All Engines Go is for having characters that are unlike the characters they once know.
They’re not abandoning it. It’ll just be called something else hoping people don’t notice. It’s too late. They’ve lost any kind of reputation with gamers after ignoring and mocking them.
Ubisoft made lots of mistakes with recent games. I can kind of understand this March 20th, because it's also the start of Spring in Japan, but it also is very much unfortunately the same day as that terror attack. Ignorance is pretty dangerous
Honestly i dont think Ubisoft is panicking over becoming bankrupt, its a big company which have been making tons of money since the first AC game and they still have tencent to buy them out in the worse case scenario. It more about yves guillemot panicking over losing control over their "family business" and its money printing IPs. AC is still AC, i'm sure shadows will sell 1.5 to 2.5m copies despite all the negativity but it will not be enough to win back its investors.
Never do work of someone else. If the compatition is not fair work as good and efficient as others to show management you are the only one who does actual work. Take a week off your tempo and work just like others do. If it is not enough do this for two weeks. Once people start look for a result show your cards.
I started working for a company who had ~18 employees in 2012 (now we are 32.). Before that I worked for ING in the U.S. this was all before DEI, but you point out any employee committee, be it employee engagement, event planning, whatever, you will see the lineup of the org’s useless and/or lazy. Back then, it was just cover to look busy without getting off your ass and doing some real work. Today, with all the ‘virtue’ baked in with DEI? I shudder to think how worthless these employees are. Do you have to remind them not to play with matches in the building? Thank God I work for a small company where no one can hide.
I felt your restaurant pain in your voice. What makes it worse is when that attitude leaks into places where you need to care for others. My wife worked in an assisted care nursing home. The abuse she had to curb was stressful. One person slammed a client's toe into a doorframe and didn't report it at all. My wife noticed his toe was broken for an entire weekend before she got to talk to a nurse about it. Turns out they kept quiet because the one who did it was a friend of the nurse on call and she didn't want to get "her boy" fired so she let the client suffer the entire weekend until my wife brought it up and even then they made her fill out the entire paperwork and made her take the client to the ER to get the client's toe fixed. That's only one instance in that field. If you worry about the usual suspects ruining your food when you got out to eat, don't ever be put in an old folk's home. It's about the same quality
The thing is, Ubisoft's back catalogue is making them substantial amounts of money. It's the only thing keeping them afloat. I have no clue how much money is left, but I think a buyout or something like that is on the horizon. This DEI nonsense started, by the way, with a manipulated study by none other than McKinsey. According to this "study", a company with a diverse leadership will make up to 35% more revenue than competitors. This got repeated ad nauseam without ever checking it or another study to back it up. But like you said, if the rot reaches the top, you get whole structures without merit and use.
16:32 huh... Now that I think of it, that scene of Yass-Ghey writing a big ol kanji for no reason might have been stolen from Samurai of Hyuga. Without spoiling anything, the MC of SoH is illiterate, and in book 3 they write this great big kanji in the dirt and ask one of the NPCs what it means.
They’ll hide, they’re too narcissistic to ever truly change, they’ll just get sneakier and more deceitful with their attempts to socially manipulate or condition us ‘plebs’ from the top of their soapbox-platforms.
I bet you, if the game would be in medieval Lapland, the protagonist would be black no matter what. The problem with this is, when a black character is actually fitting in a game setting, nobody wants it anymore, because we'll always associate them with their woke bullshit.
None of these companies are abandoning DEI, they're just gonna be more insidious with it. The slightest hint of it should be reason enough to reject it.
typical DEI pushers can never come up with any valid arguments, on why / how its good for gaming.., instead they just attack anyone with valid criticism against forced DEI..
Notice the kind of language they use, too compared to warlord awaji. Whereas awaji says to command soldiers and conquer the island, ac shadows phrases it as you being hunted down and under threat. And also how "reclaim" seems to insinuate that it was something that was stolen whereas "recover" is just taking something. Very interesting.
They still have not replaced Yasuke with an actual Asian male Samurai. Ubisoft will sell or not be around much longer. Once they get taken over. It will result in 'restructuring' which will entail massive layoffs. The comment about Ubisoft not fixing bugs. This makes so much sense after my experience with Far Cry 6. I submitted 5 bug reports. None of them got fixed. Have had similar experiences with Bethesda Game Studios for Starfield.
The funny thing is that most players are stuck grading in the division 2 and know that developers are supposed to be working on the division 3 now of all things UA-camrs that makes division content and maybe are sponsored by Ubisoft are pretty much suggesting that we should buy any upcoming Ubisoft game dlc or any content that gives revenue to Ubisoft for the sake of saving the division franchise. I rather see the ones giant fall and be make an example for others game developers.
I think this is why entire studios are closing. It's easier to weed out the bad apples without repercussion and then form a new studio, only hiring people that based on merit and mitigating the the risk of eliminating the cancerous people at the same time.

Just a reminder. Some of these superstar developers left to make their own studios. Rebel Wolves are former top CD Projekt Red Devs behind the Witcher Trilogy and Cyberpunk 2077 if I recall right. Blood of the Dawnwalker is from Rebel Wolves and you can *TELL* where the quality went.
Too late for me, I'll never go back to any of these brands that went along with this nonsense. Honestly, gaming just overall kinda sucks anymore imo, and other than the new Monster Hunter and that Vampire game, I honestly don't care for anything coming out this year so far. I'm pretty much back into retro mode, I miss being able to boot up games and just play, no internet connection needed :D
Try Helldivers 2 and marvel rivals. Awesome. With no agenda
Hoping you can enjoy KCD 2. Looks like a game made by gamers who actually respect the players time
@@Bohdisattva326 I played HD2 a little bit, back when it had all the issues and never went back to it. Marvel Rivals looks cool, but I don't play online games anymore, more of a SP guy these days.
Indeed it’s the only way. Modern gaming is weak!
I'm currently playing Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. Loving it. If you haven't tried the Yakuza series, I recommend it. You can either start with 0 or the first Like a Dragon. Like you, I love single player games.
Ubisoft changing? Even if it’s true, it might be too late. Heck, Shadows was confirmed recently to require Denuvo & a Ubisoft account on PC. I don’t see things going well with news like that.
As a fellow former restaurant industry drone, I greatly empathize with you and your suffering from back then TTwTT
he was litterly.. (and forgive me for wording it so harshly grow up people) a pet monkey. in a time where africans werent everywhere.. they BOUGHT him because "haha big man...dance monkey dance" and made him be a sword bearer. that isnt a samurai. unless im tweaking.. i could have sworn this was what was clearly stated in history books and stuff. he never was a samurai/person with ANY honor
I will not forgive you for writing "literally."
The more Ubisoft fails, the happier I am.
It's too late for Ubislop and If these devs moving forward are smart they won't listen to these loser journalists. Dead weight is an understatement for these DEI hires.
Goodbye Ubisoft. Get comfortable not owning your company!
Looks like that’s the endgame

Even kids know the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet characters are designed terribly since kids already saw the mess All Engines Go is for having characters that are unlike the characters they once know.
I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing such amazing work!
Great video, as usual! You never fail to impress.
My job literally hired someone else to do this certain person’s job. She literally stands and watches while the new hire does her job.
Hey, "They are cooked." is old. I'm 42 and have been using it since the 90's.
They’re not abandoning it. It’ll just be called something else hoping people don’t notice. It’s too late. They’ve lost any kind of reputation with gamers after ignoring and mocking them.
Ubisoft made lots of mistakes with recent games. I can kind of understand this March 20th, because it's also the start of Spring in Japan, but it also is very much unfortunately the same day as that terror attack. Ignorance is pretty dangerous
If Awaji is a real guy and he really recovered something, which it sounds like - its definitely not fair to say this is plagiarism.
And THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is why Ubisoft will NEVER get my money. Thank you and goodbye 👍
Honestly i dont think Ubisoft is panicking over becoming bankrupt, its a big company which have been making tons of money since the first AC game and they still have tencent to buy them out in the worse case scenario. It more about yves guillemot panicking over losing control over their "family business" and its money printing IPs. AC is still AC, i'm sure shadows will sell 1.5 to 2.5m copies despite all the negativity but it will not be enough to win back its investors.
When Tencent buys Ubisoft, they can then make an Assassin's Creed game set in China. They already have the architecture ready.
Never do work of someone else. If the compatition is not fair work as good and efficient as others to show management you are the only one who does actual work. Take a week off your tempo and work just like others do. If it is not enough do this for two weeks. Once people start look for a result show your cards.
They feel so much that the AC Shadow will fail, that they plan to release a remaster of AC Black Flag. It's a red flag in my opinion.😅
I started working for a company who had ~18 employees in 2012 (now we are 32.). Before that I worked for ING in the U.S. this was all before DEI, but you point out any employee committee, be it employee engagement, event planning, whatever, you will see the lineup of the org’s useless and/or lazy. Back then, it was just cover to look busy without getting off your ass and doing some real work. Today, with all the ‘virtue’ baked in with DEI? I shudder to think how worthless these employees are. Do you have to remind them not to play with matches in the building? Thank God I work for a small company where no one can hide.
The reason Ubisoft won’t get rid of the woke idiots is because the CEO is one of them
I felt your restaurant pain in your voice. What makes it worse is when that attitude leaks into places where you need to care for others. My wife worked in an assisted care nursing home. The abuse she had to curb was stressful. One person slammed a client's toe into a doorframe and didn't report it at all. My wife noticed his toe was broken for an entire weekend before she got to talk to a nurse about it. Turns out they kept quiet because the one who did it was a friend of the nurse on call and she didn't want to get "her boy" fired so she let the client suffer the entire weekend until my wife brought it up and even then they made her fill out the entire paperwork and made her take the client to the ER to get the client's toe fixed. That's only one instance in that field. If you worry about the usual suspects ruining your food when you got out to eat, don't ever be put in an old folk's home. It's about the same quality
The thing is, Ubisoft's back catalogue is making them substantial amounts of money. It's the only thing keeping them afloat. I have no clue how much money is left, but I think a buyout or something like that is on the horizon.
This DEI nonsense started, by the way, with a manipulated study by none other than McKinsey. According to this "study", a company with a diverse leadership will make up to 35% more revenue than competitors. This got repeated ad nauseam without ever checking it or another study to back it up. But like you said, if the rot reaches the top, you get whole structures without merit and use.
AAA label just mean bloated production. Never preorder. Watch gameplay before buying.
16:32 huh... Now that I think of it, that scene of Yass-Ghey writing a big ol kanji for no reason might have been stolen from Samurai of Hyuga. Without spoiling anything, the MC of SoH is illiterate, and in book 3 they write this great big kanji in the dirt and ask one of the NPCs what it means.
They'll either Change or Hide i wonder which one. Lets see.
They’ll hide, they’re too narcissistic to ever truly change, they’ll just get sneakier and more deceitful with their attempts to socially manipulate or condition us ‘plebs’ from the top of their soapbox-platforms.
The hospital systems are even worse with DEI. I've never seen a hospital without a DEI department these days.
Who knows, maybe it's not too late to redeem themselves, i strongly doubt it but we'll see.
Edit: scratch the 1st part .
I bet you, if the game would be in medieval Lapland, the protagonist would be black no matter what.
The problem with this is, when a black character is actually fitting in a game setting, nobody wants it anymore, because we'll always associate them with their woke bullshit.
If Ubisoft polishes the turd, it's still only a shiny turd.
None of these companies are abandoning DEI, they're just gonna be more insidious with it. The slightest hint of it should be reason enough to reject it.
typical DEI pushers can never come up with any valid arguments, on why / how its good for gaming.., instead they just attack anyone with valid criticism against forced DEI..
"The only winning move is not to play." Thats how we defeated Ubi, by doing nothing.
I think Ubisoft misspelled "DIE"
Notice the kind of language they use, too compared to warlord awaji. Whereas awaji says to command soldiers and conquer the island, ac shadows phrases it as you being hunted down and under threat. And also how "reclaim" seems to insinuate that it was something that was stolen whereas "recover" is just taking something. Very interesting.
Devastatingly Expensive Investment
I think you meant experiment on American citizenship.
I totally agree. Useless money and time wasters, DEI mofos. Destroy Everything Intentionally
They still have not replaced Yasuke with an actual Asian male Samurai. Ubisoft will sell or not be around much longer.
Once they get taken over. It will result in 'restructuring' which will entail massive layoffs.
The comment about Ubisoft not fixing bugs. This makes so much sense after my experience with Far Cry 6. I submitted 5 bug reports. None of them got fixed. Have had similar experiences with Bethesda Game Studios for Starfield.
The funny thing is that most players are stuck grading in the division 2 and know that developers are supposed to be working on the division 3 now of all things UA-camrs that makes division content and maybe are sponsored by Ubisoft are pretty much suggesting that we should buy any upcoming Ubisoft game dlc or any content that gives revenue to Ubisoft for the sake of saving the division franchise. I rather see the ones giant fall and be make an example for others game developers.
I think this is why entire studios are closing. It's easier to weed out the bad apples without repercussion and then form a new studio, only hiring people that
based on merit and mitigating the the risk of eliminating the cancerous people at the same time.
Too little, too late. Their time as their own company is pretty much forfeit at this point.
It's too late for them.
Ubisoft: We're abandoning DEI.
Gamers: Too late! 15 years too late!
