Good riddance
Only 4 left to unlock a unique loot box.
I’m sure it was because the windshield was littered with too much HUD.
The Guillemonts are old money French aristocrats who escaped the Revolution by being out of the country. They are collectively terrible to others and are deliberately trying to tank Ubisoft so they can buy it back and take it private. All those anti consumer business moves Ubisoft males are their best ideas at making money. Hopefully the loss of the savvy one brings them back to reality but history and experience shows they won’t.
source?
I’m seeing that they ran a small farming business in a small farming village: https://gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2011/12/06/ubi-uncensored.aspx
This thread, the comments, and the people who post them, would be fascinating subjects for a sociological-psychological study.
Just to make sure I’m not misunderstood: I’m calling out the people who are proverbially dancing on the victims’ graves (yes, there were two fatalities). Regardless of your feelings for one or the other, you are celebrating the loss and pain of their friends and families. Frankly it’s disgusting behaviour.
The hoops these folks jump through to justify cheering the death of someone is terrifying.
you don’t get it mate I don’t like the games ubisoft makes so making fun of someone who burned to death in a freak accident is totally justified
also his ancestors ran from the french revolution over 200 years ago. this is relevant because… uh…
The Guillemont brothers were/are not nice people, maybe that’s triggering those horrible comments like “Ah ok, anyways…”
This is why I hate Lemmy sometimes. “It’s wrong to wish people dead, except for ‘them’. ‘They’ are fare game.” It’s the same BS we’ve been doing for the whole history of our miserable species.
Meh, I don’t wish death on anyone, but that doesn’t mean I have to be sad that a shitty person died.
Nobody’s criticizing people for not being sad. There’s a word for this, “gloating”.
I still think that’s fine. Sometimes the world is better off when someone dies.
Like Hitler.
Yep. Someone like trump. Not someone who made games worse.
Part of the 0.01%, made absurd amounts of money making games worse, heading a company actively fighting against unionisation.
Wait, why do you hate lemmy for this? I think who you actually hate are humans. Reddit and all the other modern social media platforms have the same issues, because they too have humans.
That pretty much nails my feelings. Charlie Kirk is a huge piece of shit and I’m glad he died honestly. But I’d be a worse person if I made a personality out of mocking him for being dead. Can’t we just take the win? Fate decided a bad person was over. I wish that could be that.
this isn’t complicated
the social contract basically boils down to, you at a baseline do right by me and in return I do the same for you
assholes like this and other rich fucks try to game this system for profit by literally harming parts of our lives via loopholes
when ass fucks say lets hurt person ‘insert something that has no impact on anything’ like skin color or sexuality that is wrong
when people talk about wishing death on people that are literally fucking with our lives it should obviously not be the same
whether tanking a video game falls into that bucket is nuanced but people like the united health fuck are easily fair game
Stop hating Lemmy. For me, it’s my way of communicating that I’m a Misanthropic Anti-Natalist. I can do my part to sway the public opinion that humans should all go extinct. I can spread the idea of humans being the monsters, the true enemies of the planet and all it’s life. I can see it slowly taking hold of the world, people coming to terms with our monstrous nature. Someday in the far future, perhaps we all choose to self-terminate. We are not divine nor special, just meat.
At this point I can’t tell who’s shitposting and who isn’t lol
Is this satire?
Way to skip over all the documented recent reasons people are posting.
documented recent speculation that we don’t know he was involved with? his brother yves was the ceo at the time of all this drama. Claude was just a stakeholder.
it’s clear that nobody knew who the fuck he was before this thread and suddenly everybody is trying to spin a story
Claude was a director and deputy CEO. He was on the board. He was directly involved in the technical and business management side for years. Calling him just a stakeholder undercuts his own opinion on what he did at Ubisoft as he expressed in a few interviews himself throughout the years.
Just because you didn’t know who he was doesn’t mean the rest of us didn’t. Yes Yves was the face and CEO, and thus the person directly named in the lawsuit because that’s how it works, but Claude was often cited as the quiet force behind Yves anchoring him, serving as operations officer, advisor, and other titles over time.
yea i’m always amazed at the amount of dick riding random people with 2dollars to their name will do for rich people that literally wouldn’t spit on them to put them out if they were on fire
but none of this new and the studies already exist
i much prefer the colloquial ‘temporary embarrassed millionaires’
I think scientists started that study but most of the team committed suicide. A study to find out why they killed themselves is not yet underway.

I’d have agreed with you if he was the direct cause of some people death, like that asshole that got Luigi-ed, but he is not. He sure took decisions that ended up making subpart games, fucked over devs, and all.
He’s a capitalist shark like there are thousands of others, bit does that warrant death?
People like you are the cause why fascism is on the rise. No humanity, no regrets, no actions taken, until it affects you personally.
there is a subset of humanity that worships wealth and they are about as intelligent as you would expect them to be
arguing with them is about as useful as doing so with maga
You’d be surprised how some of those irredeemable people can, in fact be reasoned with, en even can change their views.
I remember the story of a black man befriending a bunch of klansmen and making them leave the organization.
I heard he was flying around looking for collectibles.
Oh no…anyway
Link your Ubisoft account, and for only 3000 Ubisoft Connect Points, you can unlock the new Elite Pro Club plane that never crashes!
Karma.
I’m not saying he was a good guy, but he ain’t a war criminal and was maybe really nice for all we know so I don’t really understand how you can be happy about such news.
He and his brothers still maintain control of Ubisoft (even through an attempted hostile takeover). It’s been shown in documents that management have known about but ignored the pervasive sexual misconduct there (in fact promoting the abusers) as well as extensive union busting, employee abuse, on top of the numerous lawsuits for selling/mismanaging customer data, rug pulls with games, and more. Claude Guillemot was an active founding member of the company and maintained his involvement throughout.
Those alone I believe earn the ire thrown at them. I personally add the moral failings of their early overenthusiastic adoption of NFTs and AI.
They very much are a part of the abusive wealthy class treating the world as their personal misogynistic playground.
To argue he was “maybe really nice” is to straight up ignore his hand in all of that. Try again.
What you’re saying is probably true, but I don’t think he deserved to die burned in a crash for such things.
You said you don’t know how people can be happy about the news. That’s mostly what I was addressing.
Ultimately I agree, he should have been tried for his crimes against society and guillotined along with the rest of aristocracy ages ago.
we know he stole the value of people’s labor.
Clearly not a monster, but he does not sound that nice to me in this whole thing. I guess we’ll never know for sure.
I did a search for his name alongside the sexual harassment accusations, and I don’t see his name listed anywhere. It’s suspicious that so many around him are accused, but I don’t see Claude named anywhere.
Did we have another Luigi or something?
There’s a huge difference between refusing people healthcare and producing video games people are free to buy or not.
Promoting sexual abusers and trying to cover up their abuse through two lawsuits though? Yeah, not a good look
