Yes. Very coward of them (especially as Canadians) to have the government of China/Hong Kong focus on them.
Turns out Ubisoft are equally as soulless and devoid of integrity as EA and Activision, they've just done a better job of tricking everyone into thinking they're producing art with a purpose and message.
Say what again?Peope call Ubisoft cowards, but in reality they're cowards themselves. That's all I want to say.
I was interested in this game but this kills it now. Goes against what the game itself seems to be about and makes an overt statement that the theme is exploitative.
All of this.*create anti authoritarian game*
*authoritarians get mad at you*
"sorry. Im sorry. Im trying to remove it"
Bowing to Beijing and apologizing to the Chinese Communist Party... pathetic.
Ubisoft loves to put political imagery and themes in its videogames until they're forced to actually confront them.lol this makes the games co-opting of "resistance" look even lamer.
Don't mock me.Yes. Very coward of them (especially as Canadians) to have the government of China/Hong Kong focus on them.
Bunch of cunts.
Ubisoft can really run those lips when it comes to American politics but backs down and apologizes to China lol
typical french backbone.
Imagine accidentally doing something admirable and deciding it's best to apologize for it. What the umbrella movement has been fighting for is a very worthy cause.
Of course they'd suffer for it. Ethics aren't what you do when it's convenient and of no cost to you. It's precisely when you'd pay a cost for taking a stance that your ethics matter.Do you understand that they are a massive company with offices even in China? Getting in trouble with the government would hit them directly since they not only release their products there, they also have business offices?
And you understand that what a game you developed does doesn't mean you have to do in real life as well, right?
Some of the replies here are baffling.
Most brands on Facebook redirect you to their page based on your country by default. You can change the Page's region by clicking on the dots and click "Switch Region".Where is the apology? I can't find it on the page that is linked in OP?
I think representation is incredibly important by I'm wary of brands leveraging "wokeness" to sell more shit, especially when they still do a lot of unethical things.Do you also think its important for everyone to get represented in these mass consumption products?
The ad and apology are both posted on their official FB page.Where is the apology? I can't find it on the page that is linked in OP?
