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.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 4 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.

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.

How this guy still has time for games and twitter is beyond me, considering he has like 800 children, 50 companies, and now is way deep up Trump's rectum with his meme Doge department "saving Americans money".

Also, Ubisoft being based. What a world.

How this guy still has time for games and twitter is beyond me,

I have an easy, simple answer.

He doesn't actually work or play games. He spends all his time scrolling and tweeting from his many, many accounts, has people playing games for him.

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?

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".

[–] [email protected] 72 points 5 days ago (5 children)

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.

Ubisoft marketing account with the concealed blade

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.

The real assassin is in the Ubisoft PR department all along

[–] [email protected] 31 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

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

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.

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)

[–] [email protected] 80 points 4 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.

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

Can someone share some context please

Hasan was paid by ubisoft to play the new Assassin's creed on stream (which he was very clear that it is a paid promotion) grummz got mad and called him a "terrorist supporter" and claimed ubisoft supports terrorism (because Hasan is middle eastern and pro-palestine). Then Elon responded to grummz with this.

Elon streamed Path of Exiles a Diablo-like online MMORPG pretending he plays often.

Everyone watching knew he didn't know a thing about the game at all showing he never played it and likely bought or paid someone to level the account for him.

Rich folk like Elon are envious of us regular/poor people. We dress better, are actually funny and do enjoyable shit. Whenever he tries to take part he comes out looking like a big fraud and a dumbass.
