If she doesn't, I will commend her for having some self-respect. Unlike that Olivia Munn.

Yeah I'm sure she studied game development so she could just get her t*ts out... Frankly she probably got pissed off at being nothing more than a promotion tool for Ubisoft.

Originally she was very happy to be the spokesperson for Ubisoft when Assassin's Creed was coming out. Then the Internet did its own thing and turned her into a sex object rather than showing her any respect whatsoever. She now doesn't do the publicity stuff. Would you with the two posters above posting this crap each time she's mentioned?

Edit: Funny that one of the first posters here to not treat her like a sex object has the online handle of FishyFingers. Thanks for not playing to your namesake ;)

@Acquiescense: Yup, remember it and it still is a low moment for gamers. Honestly, it was just so freaking disrespectful on so many levels.

Acquiescence5754d ago

that Ubisoft tried to make disappear off the face of the earth. Of course, someone forgot to tell them that once something makes its way to the insternets, there ain't no hope in hell of it going away.

Anyway, it involved a lot of jizz.

coolfool5754d ago

I remember at the time thinking that while it was a disrespectful and should never have happened it was also a real *exaggeration* of what Ubisoft were using her for. She was an attractive girl with a "real" game production job so make her a spokes person was a no-brainer for them.

The comical representation of the this was hardly surprising.

Before I get jumped on, I would like to repeat that I do think that the comic was disrespectful and bad but just unsurprising.

I don't like when a studio says they're out to make triple-A games. This means there will be no innovation, and they will take no chances. They're just gonna mash up something they know will sell well.

First person shooters, space marines, modern warfare, etc...

SOAD5754d ago (Edited 5754d ago )

I don't like it when people misunderstand the definition of a AAA game.

AAA refers to the budget or production value of the game. As such, Ubisoft already knows the budget of their games, and are informing the public that they are out to make 5 large budget titles.

In fanboy world, AAA refers to the metascore of the game.

Lich1205753d ago

Not sure why SOAD got a disagree on his factual statement. AAA is money, not quality.

m235754d ago

We finally have a large development studio in Toronto. The only ones I know that are even close are Ubisoft Montreal and Silicon Knights in St. Catherines.

I can't sit here and act like I know these workers financial situations. And I'm sure nobody wakes up WANTING to go to court. But for the sake of the industry, I wish some of these types of cases made it to trial.

Settlements allow companies to continue to do whatever abusive practices they do. While the trials (should the company lose) would actually force real changes for the better.

But again, I'm not in these workers shoes and I can understand them not wanting to risk it.
