    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.

      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

      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?

      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.
