After the pushback and subsequent delay, why Ubisoft didn’t simply swap Yasuke out for an authentic Japanese Samurai astounds me…
They would have to rewrite the story and record new voice lines and mo cap. 1 year delay likely.

Dorky rage tuber. Most of his content is junk, but he did break the news about the gendermancer leaving BioWare a few weeks ago.

Fake edit: looks like this is fake news. Credibility damaged.
Was it him or another guy that you said previously that had gained your trust?

Spewing false news was really a bad move and essentially inviting people to call you grifters. I don't understand those folks' strategies.

It was Smash JT. He broke the story about the Game Director leaving BioWare which Jeff Grubb picked up afterwards and received all the credit from news outlets. But my position was more don't immediately dismiss him rather than I fully trust him.

His credibility is shot though. He didn't just get a story wrong here, he was made a fool. No one will ever believe him again.

Makes sense.

So you mean this time he fumbled because one of his "insiders" deliberately trolled him?

No, it was a Canadian YouTuber making an example of him. I'm surprised this didn't happen sooner.

None of this is reality and I know this because I AM THE LEAKER (see attached). I did this to demonstrate the bad faith reporting in gaming news, especially around a game like Assassins Creed Shadows. Ethics in game journalism is important. Smash could have asked for proof, he could have msg'ed me on a different platform, he could have reached out to other sources...but he didn't. He did not verify any credentials as he indicated. The only communication is attached. Anyone can send an email to [email protected], pretend to be anyone and it becomes news ;). This has been a trend and I have more examples. In fact, his Bioware "leaker" reached out to me to say they were just messing with him. Make your bag of money, but don't expect bad reporting not to be called out. A way to avoid that is to do a better job.

Holy shit, I now see the whole picture. It appears that my reflex is a bit on par with my revered senior Topher Topher tonight.

Grummz right now:

Grummz is already a mega lolcow. No one respects that guy. Same with Endymion.

I had the Smash JT live stream going on my phone and he was coping hard. "Haha they took advantage of me. Whoopsie. That wasn't nice. I'll do better going forward." I think deep down he knows its over for him.

Considering how easily he was manipulated, so am I.

I know right, guy grew a channel to 110k that you'd think he would at least have some methodology/procedure to vet his sources. Mind boggling, lol.

Frankly, I'm all for pushing against excessive woke agenda but you gotta be smarter and better (although even my man Musk got cooked by his hardcore gaming ego) than the dummies on the other side. We cannot have stupid people making the loudest voices.

Good to be skeptical of all this nonsense. Denzel Washington is a man of wise words....
