2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

I guess the anti-woke crowd is having a hard-on rn. I don't play ubisoft's games but I know a lot of good persons who work there around Quebec, and many of them fear losing their jobs.

To quote Jason Schreier, “whenever anything bad happens, worst people on the internet will be there to blame diversity”

Disgusting.

This isn't about being diverse. It's about making bad games.

As a matter of fact, the new assassin's Creed is so offensive that the Japanese government is in an uproar about it.

Ubisofts attempt to be so inclusive and sexually neutral is what's making their games bad because they're stifling good game design in the process.

That's not to say that it's not possible to make a good game while adhering to diversification and inclusion.

Hellblade and horizon zero Dawn are two excellent examples of incredibly good games that don't expound sexism. Hell, look at destiny 2. They handle these kinds of situations perfectly!

But to simply imply people are upset because they don't like "woke politics" is a gross over simplification of what's happening to Ubisoft!

In response to the whole bit about the Japanese government, it seems that the quotes were taken way more seriously than they should have been. Pretty cookie cutter responses that also say that It isn't really their concern.
