Rules:

1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

He's very clearly talking about celebrating people losing their jobs, and does so without saying anything super crazy.

Full quote

I rarely post on social media, but today I am sad. Ashamed and sad.

The gaming industry is rough at the moment, we all know it.

But seeing how "gamers" react on social medias, wishing ill-fate to companies and people alike is sad. (And not only towards Ubisoft)

Even though it is always the vocal minority that express themselves on social media, I was hurt, hurt and ashamed to be a part of this community.

What is even more revolting, is coming on Linkedin and seeing the same comments from people within the industry.

On top of exposing yourself as a clearly non-decent human being, you are affecting thousands of employees that are already impacted by all the hate despite doing their best to deliver incredible experiences.

How can you wish a company to fail simply because they do not cater to you or that the product does not please you is beyond me.

We are all on the same boat, please please please, stop spreading hate, we should all uplift each other instead of bringing each other down.

Coming from their director of monetization, all I hear is "waaah waaah booo waaah"

All this nickel and diming is super profitable and it shows. Just because it makes them fuckloads of money doesn't mean we should applaud it, because it awful for the customers.
