His job is literally how to squeeze out as much money as possible from the gamers and he wonders why gamers don’t like him

To me, the most telling part is not when he writes about the fans, but when he’s dismayed about the same rhetoric from the fellow devs. They can’t stand this bullshit either.

Holy shit, now that’s a job title that would make Satan upset he didn’t create it first.

Says the guy whose job it is to milk their customers as much as possible while providing as little as possible.

The problem is that you, as a Monetization Director, suck at your job. You failed to create something that feels like value to the customer. Instead you created something that feels like Value to Ubisoft.
You put crap on the shelves and expect it to sell like serving crap on a plate in a restaurant.

The fact that they have a position called “Monetization director” is telling enough.

The amount of deflection that Ubisoft management displays is wild.

Nobody wants developers who actually respect their audience to fail. Ubisoft has done it to themselves.

Oh fuck right off with that bullshit. If a company is shitty enough to the consumer to bring the entire industry standards down, and Ubisoft comfortably is, it is clearly a good thing for them to fail. Try to make a good product at a honest price if you don’t want people to rejoice that your scam is coming to an end.

Boo hoo. Get fucked.

I’m being lectured about morality by a guy whose entire job is to nickel-and-dime me as much as possible.

Monetization Director for Ubisoft
Or as we like to call him, that asshole

I’m sorry but when I open a “AAAA” game I expect to experience childlike wonder, fun like I’ve never had before and an artstyle that makes me faint.

I think people mostly just want ONE of these titans to fall. Kinda sucks it’s Ubisoft, but it’s also hard to feel bad for then after that “Get used to not owning your games.” BS.

Orphan crushing machine director “ashamed” and “sad” at orphans who don’t wish to be crushed.

The fact that any company would have a “monetisation director” tells you everything you need to know about that company’s products

Maybe this is more his speed, To unlock a happy comment pay 5.99$ or Buy the Season Battle Pass and you get 10 *mystery* comments with a guaranteed drop rate of at least one “super positive” comment and two “epic” comments.

The most soulless man in the company trying to moralize is genuinely hysterical

I’m saddened by his role needing to exist and I’d be quite happy if it didn’t. His job is to make games worse so that they can squeeze more money from players. That’s his job, specifically. Not sure how he sleeps at night but playing victim is a whole other level

I wish anyone but someone at Ubisoft had made this point.
Like….he’s not wrong about some of what he says….but…Ubisoft is Ubisoft’s biggest problem. Clean your own house, first.

I wish for management to fail and see their asses gone i have no ill will on the low rank employee just doing their job, I’m sick of the people in charge making bad decisions screwing over everyone beneath them and seeing mass layoffs because the people in charge are morons and failing upwards.
