This dude is CEO of multiple companies, has like 87 kids, high level position in the government and still takes the time to get ratioed on his own platform.

You'd think he's a communist with how often he gets publicly owned.

[–] Kichae@lemmy.ca 28 points 5 days ago

It's a shame he's only the means to produce bullshit.

Hey wait Ubisoft you’re not allowed to be this cool.

Imagine being dunked and ratio'd by fucking Ubisoft. Even a billionaire should have enough shame to kill themselves.

It would be so funny if the muskrat would uninstall himself over this.

I had no idea who the second guy was. He's a racist/sexist ex-Blizzard employee.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Kern

Kern has become an outspoken critic of the company and criticized such environmental, social, and governance standards and diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives effects on video game developers. In March 2024, he railed against wokeness, telling Fox News that there is a "coordinated effort to insert diversity politics into games".

In 2016, Kern began seeking crowdfunding for Em-8er, a "spiritual successor" to Firefall. Kern did an interview with YouTuber Upper Echelon in Sept 2024, claiming that about 600K has been raised so far for Em-8er.

This is specifically the part that they are getting his ass on.

How the fuck is Ubisoft cool? They should seriously give their PR-Manager a raise.

Is Elon still trying to prove he can fit in with the gamer crowd? It looks so sad, like Zucky learning martial arts to prove everyone how tough he is. Guys you don't need to fuck the planet over your teenagehood traumas, just deal with them like any other reasonable person.

Oh my god, a streamer shouldn't advertise a mediocre game to get compensation for their work? Has anyone told the Raid Shadow Legends steamers?

Ubisoft marketing account with the concealed blade

[–] RandomStickman@fedia.io 61 points 6 days ago

The real assassin is in the Ubisoft PR department all along

Why is anyone else but nazis on X at this point?

I think a lot of artists are still holding on to their following there, bluesky has a lot of the same features (more actually because it allows you to change settings to hide NSFW images), but it's hard to migrate a following to a new site.

Uncommon Ubisoft associated W (Ubisoft is a French company so its not surprising TBH)

In comparison to Musk. It tells you more about Musk than Ubi.

Man I really don't know which I despise more, Elon Musk or Ubisoft.

I'm leaning towards thinking Ubisoft is the marginally lesser evil.

(I might have my issues with Hasan directly related to his softballing the Houthis but critical support to the fucker here, easy)

[–] OtherOtherOther@lemm.ee 80 points 5 days ago (4 children)

This the most crazy take I've ever seen. One guy is actively dismantling the government and attempting to steer us into an Oligarchical White Nationalist Ethnostate, and the other is a video game company that overcharges and under delivers sometimes.

Is Ubisoft trying to dismantle democracy? I'm pretty sure one here is way worse.

Who says you need to support one of them?

Both are bad in their own way.

3 of the worst public personae feeding of each other for relevance. A real human centipede type shit, shame Musk is on the beginning end.

Grummz is a racist, sexist, transphobic, anti-woke pile of crap.

He is also behind the recently released Schedule 1 game. Don't buy it.

EDIT: Nope, I was wrong. He is still a bigot, tons of evidence for that. But he was citing Schedule 1 sales numbers and I read that it was his game. But I can't verify that anywhere so I was mistaken.
