Not surprised.
A case of chickens coming home to roost for the kings of DEI based
game design. I hope they've learned their lesson and return to
focusing on making games fun rather than shoving their political
agenda down the player's throat.

A perfect opportunity for Elon Musk to buy Ubisoft and work his magic.
Every Ubisoft game will have a white male protagonist. Not just games
from the Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, Prince of Persia, Tom Clancy's Rainbow >Six, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell, Tom Clancy's
The Division, Watch Dogs and The Crew franchises. Only Elon Musk can
ensure that any new Avatar, Anno, Beyond Good and Evil, Just Dance, Might
and Magic, Rabbids, Rayman, Rocksmith and The Settlers games are free
of any trace of DEI and only have white male protagonists as God intended!
Why do radicals (regardless of left or right wing) always lose their
shit and go on emotional tirades like this as the smallest disturbance
of their comfort zone? Some side effect of the med shortage or
something?
I fully support games that target or favor specific demographics (all
genders / races / sexual orientation etc). The problem exists when a
game vendor forces this into Every.Single.Title.

I'm guessing it's because you live in the US and can't afford your >medications.

Yah, *every* *single* Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, Prince of Persia,
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon, Tom Clancy's
Splinter Cell, Tom Clancy's The Division, Watch Dogs and The Crew game. >(Thank God for cut and paste.)

Really? What religious beliefs does Rin have that causes him to go on
these rants? His lack of medication explaination made more sense, not
being able to treat his illness is obviously going to cause problems,
but he now denies this. It never occured to me that he could be some
sort of religious fanatic.

What's amazing is that you don't even seem to realize your response to

parroting and repositioning....

Yes, I admit it. Your hypocrisy is so blatant even a 6 year-old would
have an easy time mocking it. Why try raise the level of discourse when
much of what I'm saying is already going over your head?

TL;DR: ignore the dour Wall Street news about Ubisoft. It's more about
the struggle to control the company than the actual health of the
company.

Ah, ok. Yah, Rin definitely has a well developed sense of entitlement.
I don't think it explains though why he sees DEI everywhere though.
Saying that Every. Single. Game.(*) Ubisoft has made since Far Cry 2 has
been infused with DEI requires a state of mind that can't be explained
simply by him feeling he's owed something.
(*) I suggest capitalizing it like that it doesn't look like you don't
know how punctuation is supposed to work.

It should be noted that stock-price only occasionally corresponds with
actual performance of a company anymore, and in this case we should >definitely look at things with that in mind. Despite the under
performance of "Outlaws" (which honestly shouldn't have been a
surprise; Ubisoft was a poor fit for the franchise and many people
were wary of the game even before it came out) the company is still
well in the black. It just isn't making AS MUCH money as it hoped.

Heh. Sorry, just amusing myself with a pointless little flame war.
It's been a long time. I usually just ignore Rin, but his enormous
stupidity (anyone buying Ubisoft will be just as focused on chasing fads
for short-term gains) somehow caught my eye this time.
But congradulations on winning whatever argument Rin put you in his
killfile for. It's rare on the Internet these days for anyone to admit >defeat so conclusively like that.
