Ubisoft still employing their strategy of building something incredibly broken and promising to patch it at a later date I see.

Hascoët has been with Ubisoft since the beginning. His time there spans 3 decades, he has a credit on almost every single game the company's made or published.

Who do you put in front of a camera to address this that is high enough in the company to showcase that they're taking this seriously that also won't potentially be implicated in their investigations and removed, given that extremely high level management staff have already been involved and removed? Ubisoft has hired a third party company to conduct investigations, and is already starting to clean house. You don't put ANYONE in front of a camera to talk about this stuff without being sure that person won't then be implicated and removed. This is the wisest PR choice for them. They just need to keep making progress internally and continue to message that progress publically, like they did yesterday with their press release. they have at least been doing the right poo poo so far and are tossing the bad fucks and will probably continue to do so.

The chips are starting to fall now that the third party investigation has revealed tons of poo poo in their findings but I don't think this is at all done yet. In the upcoming weeks we'll really see if Ubisoft cleans house. Then I think I'll be able to decide if I'm satisfied with how they handled it and if they are going to really right the ship. https://twitter.com/VGC_News/status/1282245458983825408 Dapper_Swindler fucked around with this message at 18:05 on Jul 12, 2020 |

If I were them I'd at the very least delay this event. It just doesn't seem like a good idea to broadcast a pre-recorded 'celebration' (their words, not mine) when this has just happened. Unless they're gonna frame it as "We're so happy those jerks are gone now, good riddance! No more sex pests at our company!".

Dapper_Swindler posted:oh yeah, we are all hosed in the head and its depressing. I think now any organization has to be aware that declaring the sex pests are gone or they say they eliminated sex pest culture are going to eat a huge pile of poo poo even possibly during the announcement when that is said. There must be entire PR courses on the language and diction to use regarding sex pests and corporate efforts to dislodge them that sounds great and proactive while still giving them cover for when it inevitably happens again.

New FMV game: Gamer Girl The marketing angle: quote:Adopt the role of moderator for up and coming streamer ‘Abicake99’, who’s back online after the mysterious disappearance of her friend Becky. Featuring multi-branched narrative and real-time chat simulation, your role as moderator is to control the stream, level up mod powers, guide Abi’s choices and uncover the threat she faces by an anonymous predator who hides in the stream’s chat. quote:NEW GENRE The trailer (TW: assault, shock scares): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHdMCfB85rc The name and imagery ensured the game got plenty of attention after the reveal and a bunch of YT personalities weighed in to give their thoughts, with the consensus being that everyone seems to hate it. The trailer was pulled shortly after and the publisher issued this statement on twitter as a follow-up: Wales Interactive posted:Gamer Girl is about the impact user comments and actions have on a streamer’s mental health and wellbeing. The reason why FMV Future created the game was to raise the issue of the toxic environment which can often appear online behind the anonymity of a username. Without giving away too much, Gamer Girl is an empowering story of a female streamer who, with the help of her moderator friend, battles the trolls and – overcomes – the toxic characters in her stream. Game's still coming out later this year.

ErrEff posted:Yes, of course it's a real problem - this month alone has seen a few popular streamers take their own lives. Parasocial relationships are complicated and weird and people being online 24/7 must be exhausting. But the marketing for this game appears to be loving terrible and it isn't helping at the moment. You're playing the unpaid volunteer moderator, so I wouldn't be surprised if the twist is "you were the creep all along"

Ariong posted:Apparently this dude did a stream denying the allegations and threatening the accuser. Oh wait; no he didn’t, he HAD HIS MOM DO IT. I had a guy arrested for stalking and threatening to kill me (because apparently he invested way too much time in me to not get a relationship out of it) and yeah anyway, after he was arrested, his mother would call me at my job to yell at me and threaten to take me to small claims court for the property damage her son did when I led him on and broke his heart. She sounded a lot like that mom in the video which turned my stomach a little. I'm a mom now, too (my son is 16) and it seems like the way to go here is to have discussions about boundaries and expectations early on, instead of just squawking "NO SLATTERN IS GOING TO DESTROY MYYYY SON!" when he turns out to be a flaming pile of garbage.

So Hashinshin who is a fairly big streamer for league of legends has been accused of paedophilia and generally being a creep. Lot of these allegations aren't new but finally had some fairly irrefutable evidence, to which he decided to admit guilt, blames meds and carbon monoxide poisoning for his actions. Then after sleeping on it changes his mind, deletes the apology and returns to denying everything and claiming he's the victim of extortion. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZjXAdUxwrSLfXDXRReFrIVk0AXv1l7VKkFygMO1JtGw/edit If you really want to torture yourself you can read his own google doc response and watch his 45 minute explanation but I'm not gonna link them. To be honest I'm surprised its taken this long for a League personality to be caught up in this. What with you know, riot being a cesspool.
