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.
It’s a shame he’s only the means to produce bullshit.
53 year old man
53 years old toddler.
Temper of a toddler, conviction/arrogance of of a teenager.
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.
“Breaking News: Elon Musk Found Dead After Apparent Ketamine Overdose”
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.
Drugs’n stuff?
well elon does do that
Oh, I forgot…
Who? That guy that badgered a judge until he changed his decision for a piece of plastic?
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.
Common error, but it’s actually the “saving Americans from money” department.
Down at the ol’ de-employment agency.
Chaser:
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.
I wonder if they saw the absolutely stupid way people shit their pants about Yasuke, and realized there was no winning with these losers.
It’s funny seeing the about face - the controversy over “we don’t have female protagonists because they would be difficult to model” feels like another universe now.

Lmao that “our game is out” is quite the burn. I’m not supposed to root for ubi but I’ll root for ubi’s burn machine
Who the hell even asked for a new firefall.
I had no idea who the second guy was.
You have no idea how much I envy you for that.
Yeah, dude left blizzard at the right time for all the wrong reasons lol
“Diversity politics” lol
Holy shit, it’s real https://xcancel.com/assassinscreed/status/1904661876681699351
He replies again with some game thats not even his and gets obliterated.
They’re absolutely getting fired, but that is one hell of a blaze of glory to go out in. The angry look on Egotistic Elon’s face is probably priceless, with that response getting nearly 10x as many likes as both his political shitposts combined.
Agreed, but Ubisoft will be foolish for firing them, this is the best PR Ubisoft has had in maybe a decade.
I wouldn’t be so sure about that, Ubisoft is French and we all know how much they like to see shit burn.
They might be French, but they make the same stupid decisions as American publishers. I have little faith they would do anything other than acquiesce when Elon threatens to remove their checkmarks or ban them from Xitter.
Well they get paid for getting attention so I’m not so sure about that. Especially with how unpopular Elon Musk is.
The most scathing article he could find to reply with was one that says “its selling well but not as well as these two other games”?
Verbal Assassin’s Creed
Lmao. It doesn’t matter what articles spit, as long as your game is selling. Shadows is selling well, and it’s a fun game! It’s really the same old AC but now you get to actually have 2 different styles of play.
Success brings out the haters and people LOVE to hate on Ubisoft.
And not for nothing, but Shadows is apparently doing pretty well
I’m lovin’ it. It’s gorgeous, has way more verticality in the map than the last bunch in the franchise, and feels overall more polished re: animations, parkour, etc. But damn is it pretty.
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?
A side comment, Ubisoft was promoted in a show on Apple, for a while, people did not like how propagandized it was
I like Mythic Quest… Then again, I’m a normal person that lives in the real world and could not care less about Ubisoft’s involvement.
That ratio slaps
Brings a tear to the eye
Just an update to the whole chain. Theres good in this world, and its worth fighting for.
I think people would be surprised how much Elen gets ratio’d lol
Their game is out?
Edit: the commenter’s game is in dev hell
Thanks :)
How can you tell ratio? I don’t use Xitter, and have no idea what those symbols mean.
Musk’s tweet has about 200 retweets and 2.4k ‘hearts’ (likes), Ubisoft’s has 1.9k retweets and has 9.2k hearts. Therefore, nearly 5x the number of people have interacted with Ubisoft’s tweet. A ‘ratio’ of 5:1.
Edit: Guess that’s closer to 4:1, regardless, ratio.
Wait… Is Twitter the source of the “get ratiod” calloquialism?
yep
It’s also the source of “L+ratio”, because you had an “L” take (loser take as opposed to a W take) and the ratio is there to “prove” it .
I believe it’s likes (the heart icon) to replies (the chat bubble icon). Usually there are way, way more likes than replies: the ubisoft comment in the screenshot has 9,200/408 which is about 23. The middle comment has 2,400/318 which is about 8. Guessing that’s unusually low.
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.
Its actually easy.
First, post on the alternative site.
Then mirror the post on xitter after 24 hours with an added “Btw, follow me on Bluesky/Mastodon to be the first to see my posts”
Bonus points if you get banned for promoting an alternative platform, that’ll make them seem like their being persecuted and the followers will follow.
If the followers dont follow you then they aren’t followers are they
There are still a lot of major commercial and political and media presences there, which is going to mean a lot of people who report on and follow those entities have to maintain their accounts, and all the people who follow those people are still going to be there.
It’s still a huge platform, it’s still used by the majority of the world for all manner of applications. We easily get stuck in weird perspectives of the world and current events because a lot of algorithms push “satisfaction porn” on us, making it look like the current political administration is getting “DESTROYED” by this and that… it’s as false of a worldview as what they consume, it makes us all think that people like Musk are hurting and suffering as consequence of backlash.
If you browse around the fetid hangouts of the conservatives and Techbros who idolize these people, they’re in exactly the same black-hole where perspective cannot escape. “Why would anyone use Bluesky at this point? It’s failing every day!” they will proclaim while laughing at how unphased Musk is, and how much success they’ve been having.
Not making a both-sides argument, just a warning that the algorithm distorts your perspectives - it’s designed to make everyone feel validated and that can be incredibly damaging when you’re trying to affect change on the world.
I think that as soon as bluesky starts doing verification on accounts, more people will make the switch.
It’s still owned by a nazi and put forwards nazi ideas. Staying on this platform just mean you accept to be a nazi-enabler because you think it provides you a personal benefit. AFAIC, people on X are selfish and spineless, fuck every single one of them.
fuck every single one of them.
Okay but as I said, it’s still a huge platform, it’s still used by the majority of the world for all manner of applications. Millions of people using it don’t even know or care who Elon Musk is. I don’t disagree that the nazis are a rising problem that will eventually sink the application, I’m just saying absolutism like this is kind of… conservativish and cartoonish.
This is absolutely 100% the exact kind of perspective bubble I am warning us all about.
This is absolutely 100% the exact kind of perspective bubble I am warning us all about.
And I’m warning all of us about the exact kind of perspective you have : convenience and indifference.
That’s exactly what brought us to the point we are, were an un-elected billionaire can do a nazi salute at the potus inauguration without facing any consequence.
Frothing incoherence it is then, ok be well.
Lol, what does that even mean?
I am coherent with my beliefs, I don’t support businesses owned by and promoting nazi ideology.
You are coherent with you belief “that blablablaba insert pedantic rhetoric gonna stay on X”.
Well several police department use it ro send our amber alerts. Dear God that’s a terrible idea but it true. Months ago there was a twitter outage that stop any emergency alert from going out.
Amber Alerts have their own system that has nothing to do with Twitter. A lot of people disable it but it rings on your phone the way an emergency alert does and it’s local to your area. I’m sure they also send alerts through twitter, bluesky, and fascist-book just to cover bases but the main system is not dependent on a social media platform. That would be stupid.
Here is a link to the story https://www.wired.com/story/amber-alert-paywall-california/
You should read that article more carefully. The Amber alert went out on the phone system I mentioned but the detailed information was being displayed on Xwitter. And that was a local decision by that particular police force. Obviously a poor decision at that.
I never said it was a national thing.
The real assassin is in the Ubisoft PR department all along
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.
that idiot is also bad at his job which is why he can’t release a fucking game (for which ubi also shat on him lol) which is why he has to cite someone else’s game. he’s not just a bigoted manchild, but he’s also a disgraced fraud with a career full of failed projects with many stories about how horrible he is at his job.
How is Kern related to the Schedule I game?
I was mistaken, Grummz cited Schedule 1 in his weird little pissing match with Ubisoft and I assumed he was attached to it.
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)
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.
You are underestimating how awful the upper management/ownership of Ubisoft is. Their treatment of their employees and their attempted sexual assault cover up. Not just their shitty anti-consumer practices.
That said, I’ll admit I was using a little hyperbole in comparing them to Elon Musk, at least in terms of the consequences of their actions. They’re genuinely really fucking bad though.
Nobody is underestimating anything, they’re just not comparing video game companies to THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
How is the issue here not immediately apparent?
Ubisoft sucks, yeah, absolutely, no disagreement there. It’s just kinda funny to compare a video game company that makes games about dismantling governments to a guy who’s actually, currently dismantling a government, hyperbole or no
Their treatment of their employees and their attempted sexual assault cover up. Not just their shitty anti-consumer practices.
Kay that’s just the cost of doing business. Literally every company treats their employees like rungs on a ladder and would try to cover up sexual assault before addressing it. That’s just business. It’s still scummy, but that’s the sort of scum I’ve come to expect from this world. It’s the devil I know.
Elon is a neo-facist, and he’s using his companies to accomplish his goal of normalizing fascism. They’re not comparable. It actually legitimizes Elon when you compare him to them. I don’t see anyone at Ubisoft ziek heil-ing twice so no one can misunderstand them. Elon’s done it a few times.
Is Ubisoft trying to dismantle democracy? I’m pretty sure one here is way worse.
I mean, they would if they could.
Agreed. UPlay definitely is the worse thing
In terms of consequences yeah you are right. But for once I was comparing character not magnitude of consequences.
If he could, I would not put it past Yves Guillemot to do exactly what Elon Musk is doing.
Who says you need to support one of them?
Both are bad in their own way.
One is a video game company and the other is a fascist who is helping to dismantle the US government. Ubisoft at its absolute worst doesn’t even come a million miles close to Elon’s evil.
I was using hyperbole.
deleted by creator
Ah, okay, it really doesn’t communicate well through text.
No you weren’t. It’s clear from your other replies that you were seriously comparing the two.
I might have my issues with Hasan directly related to his softballing the Houthis
The kid he interviewed wasn’t part of the Ansar Allah. But even if Hasan did manage to interview one of them, there is literally no difference between bloviating about how the guys fighting against the genocide in Yemen aren’t perfect victims and zionists using the fact that Hamas isn’t perfect to justify their genocide in Palestine.
Actually it’s usually the same person doing both.
Holy shit a balanced Hasan take? In this economy?
Balanced? LOL… Dude compared Ubisoft, a shitty video game company, to the Trump Administration. That’s the dumbest shit I’ve read all day.
What the shit are you even talking about
deleted by creator
can i ask you what ubisoft has done recently to get hated on so much? honestly.
They published one bad game after another that were commercial flops because of modern predatory videogame practices and them being out of touch with what players actually want. Also with AC Shadows they managed to piss off an entire nation by being disrespectful to their culture, so much that the issue was brought up in Parliament to the prime minister of Japan.
Hm… Here’s what I think. Because I’ve played Ubi games probably my whole life of gaming, I played AC1. Was okay and boring for me. Then I played odyssey and Valhalla. Loved em. Just long, have no desire to play shadow currently. But I am playing outlaws currently because it was $35. I don’t see any microtransactions. Story is pretty good, exploration is good, syndicate system is cool. Having a fun time with it. Good game.
Steep and riders Republic are both just chill out and do crazy shit fun. RR dlc kinda sucks though paying for skateboards and other sports but what ever. I like the snow larding and mountain biking the most.
Motorfest is a better forza horizon, it’s more fun. Idk I like both games, but to me motorfest is just better.
The division series is a much better looter shooter than destiny 2 by a million degrees, again, I play and enjoy both, but I just like 3rd person and the more realistic setting in the division.
R6 siege is a game everyone played and still plays a little bit. It’s a good game overall and has nothing new that other companies didn’t already do to make the genre stale.
Farcry games have had the same style and gameplay each game that comes out. But it seems like the community wants a realistic game instead of a balls to wall shooter that it’s always been. 6 has an underwhelming story compared to the earlier games. But the gunplay was far better.
Mario vs rabbids is just a fun strategy game.
Ghost recon reboots and open world are fun, just not realistic enough imo. But still a fun sneak around and pop heads kind of game.
We need a new splinter cell though 100000%
So from my perspective…I see people hating on Ubisoft because of microtransactions that were last seen in R6 however many years ago, people don’t like a black guy as a main character, or a woman as a main star wars character. I just think people hate on it just to hate it on it when the company makes decent games that are complete I might add. Same goes for EA.
I can’t recall theast game these devs had made that are “half finished and full of bugs” that Indy devs release lately.
Let’s not forget that EA just published split fiction too…so…yeah.
You guys are talking out of your ass and are looking for internet brownies being parrots with no actual hands on play time.
So, a game that required a day 1 patch and made you lose your save data if you played early access (paying extra money) is not released “half finished and full of bugs”, I understand.
https://www.dexerto.com/gaming/star-wars-outlaws-save-progress-patch-issue-early-access-2880777/
You have also conveniently asked what have they done recently to get hatred, then proceeded to mention games from the times when the company was still in its prime. I also liked the Rayman games and the early Prince of Persia trilogy, but they are what, 20 years old?
people don’t like a black guy as a main character, or a woman as a main star wars character.
Ok, racism and misogyny are bad, but if they are being racist toward asians is fine I guess?
If you want to have a proper discussion about why Ubisoft is one step from being sold out, maybe you should first remove your rose-tinted glasses and admit there are glaring faults and that’s why their games are not selling well.
How are they being racist when they’re borrowing form an actual historic character. Read up dude.
Im glad you asked. They have:
- Misrepresented the role of the historical dude (and other historical characters), but we can ignore it since it’s just a fantasy game where you punch the Pope in the face. Even though their marketing guys insisted a lot on historical accuracy…
- Used elements from Chinese architecture and south east Asia, because that’s all the same, right?
- Copied flags from a Japanese historical reenactment society without permission.
- Published promotional material with the design copied from One Piece.
- Also, promotional material using the famous Torii Gate that survived the Nagasaki bomb (more insensitive that actually racist).
- Included a real shrine with its real name (again, without asking permission) and made the environment destroyable (while other locations are indestructible?). This is what sparked national outrage that reached the parliament and forced a day 1 patch.
I’ll gliss over the rest of the historical inaccuracies because, again, it’s a fantasy game in the end.
If you don’t see any racism and general disrespect for the Japanese culture (which they have supposedly accurately researched), It’s like I said: rose-tinted glasses.
So you’re hating just to hate. Got it. What else would you like to get off your chest? No women in world war one for battlefield 1 and V?
Dragon age veilguard has elf boobs so it’s woke game?
Cyberpunk 2077 you can be trans so woke game?
You’re right. It’s a fictional game with based off random shit. Do you know how wrong odyssey and origins are? But no, ONLY shadows matters because black guy. I guarentee you, you’re just a random snowflake dude who gets upset about shit that doesn’t effect you directly. Right?
All of you’re “talking points” just look like whining points to shit that doesn’t matter where other games have done actual far worse things with no consequences lol. Like playing as a Russian in cod and murdering an entire airport. But no… that’s fine because that wasn’t an Ubi game. So they get a pass.
Ubisoft is based now?
In comparison to Musk. It tells you more about Musk than Ubi.
Praising them for being less shitty then musk is stupid.
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.
The attention economy truly brings out the worst society has to offer.
I like Hasan. Deal with it.
Deal with what?
congratulations
