I forgot I had a Ubisoft account. Stupid games companies forcing you to have a new account with every publisher. But now they're saying they're locking down the account unless I provide age verification.
Glad I had the foresight to pick the username WHAT_IS_THIS_BS because it sure is a whole lotta BS.

Solidarity with striking workers ✊
"Ubisoft workers are on day two of a three-day strike [...] The move comes after the publisher implemented a return-to-office (RTO) mandate, revealed plans to cut up to 200 jobs amid a larger shakeup that saw seven upcoming games delayed, and six titles canceled outright [...] and fired a [...] developer for speaking criticizing these decisions on social media. Now, employees are fighting back."

These are thousands of people's lives thrown off track without warning, and years of hard work erased forever. Why can a few bosses ruin the lives of those who create the games they profit from? Never get numb to this injustice and casual cruelty!

"As stated in a blink-and-you-miss-it line of the official statement, the new operating model Ubisoft is adopting is centered on open-world adventures and GaaS experiences, which it plans to support, among other things, with "accelerated investments" into generative AI, meaning not only that it isn't halting its gen-AI initiatives, but that it's actively doubling down on them."

I swore never to buy any of Ubisoft's games a few years ago and I'm glad I stuck to it. The scumbag corp shut down its studio in Halifax just after they were the first game studio in Canada to fully unionize. Scumbag corp Ubisoft is pretending it was already 'restructuring' but anybody with half a cell in the nog knows they're scumbag liars. So yeah, get right to the bottom of the bin Ubisoft. And stay there.
