A possible hostage situation is reportedly taking place at Ubisoft's Montreal office building

Probably a diversion for something bigger, hackers, maybe inside job.

 

Brain Surgery DLC - $500

... please forgive me.

 

I might try to look at this creatively.

If this is a way to tell management to rethink their 'woking people out' practices, its a mighty effective one.

Bad publicity, lost time, low morals, administrational work. Easily repeatable...

Hey if you have someone with hacker sensibilities, he/she (ok, he.. more likely in this case) might even be able to pull this off without being caught.

Hm....

 

They didn't get enough buzz with the source code "leak" since netiquette didn't allow it to reach very far, so they went for the next dumbest viral marketing tactic from the list, shock advertising.

Some Ubi employees on Twitter were joking about it as it "happened", agitating the crowd to get everyone looking then trying to force memes of it

 

Don't updates go on top instead of the bottom? And also why do you keep the same title as if this is still going on? Anyone who enters the site gets totally midlead into thinking this is still a thing happening which shouldn't happen in journalism.

 

That really sucks. I hope everyone stays safe.

 

That's because top posting is fundamentally contrary to human reading order

 

uh I don't see anything wrong with it at all, dafuq, I need a list of characters people aren't allowed to write anymore

 

A hoax? Wow...

 

I hope they can catch the person who swatted Ubisoft Montreal and make him atone for its sins

 

I think Michel Ancel is secretly part of Isis. That's why Mr. Dark resembles Isis members.

 

you can't keep getting away with it !

 

I think you might still be allowed to write about how the elephant lost his sustainably sourced and biodegradable balloon. Beyond that it is iffy and if it is not iffy now then in 5 years it might well be. You might also want to contend with the less than bright members of the "opposite" side of the spectrum that don't understand the concepts involved (despite possibly saying free speech also means speech you don't like) or yearn for a time that never existed.
Upside of all that. Write whatever you like as someone will try it on regardless and thus does not matter.
Bit too much boy who cried wolf really, though that might be wrong and to correct historic disparities that story still set in medieval rural Europe somewhere might have to be a black girl (possibly gender non conforming or at least of a single mother) that was not in fact nominally supposed to be oppressing sheep but in fact raising plants that a wolf saw as colonising its woods, but her understanding nature allowed the wolf to become partially omnivorous (maybe vegan) and it was not the girl lying (because women never lie about serious things) but the villagers that thought she was incapable of handling herself that imagined her crying out and through embarrassment at her magnificence in fact shunned her. It did however all work out in the end because a passing prince decided he needed a strong queen and they lived happily ever after.

 

Since this is over now, Someone wanted to play Watch Dogs: Real Life

 

Forgot to say it, but my mom noticed something when TVA was showing live the employees on the roof
They all had their coat, like they had time to get their coat in an emergency
So... that reinforced my theory of a marketing coup...

 

If the coat is on the back of a chair or in your cubicle then I fail to see why grabbing it on the way out is going to be an issue. Or do you know they have a cloakroom they keep everything in?

 

I don't know, but they all had their coat

 

If you are in deepest, darkest Canada during November you probably have a coat. If the building is not falling down/burning down/smoke filling/actively flooding and bullets are not flying then you presumably can grab the coat that might well be nearby at your desk/on the way out of the door.

I know they tell everybody "in an emergency don't stop to collect belongings" but again unless immediate danger and all that most still do.

 

The new Assassin's Creed isn't THAT bad, damn.

 

It's fine
