Ubisoft’s Latest Galaxy-Brain Move Is To Gift Scammy NFTs To Employees

The Assassin’s Creed publisher continues shooting itself in the foot over NFT hype

kotaku.com

Ubisoft’s ongoing NFT odyssey continues to bewilder and demoralize not just longtime fans but also its own developers. The company recently held another workshop aimed specifically at addressing the concerns of skeptical employees, yet also started giving out special NFTs to some members of the Ghost Recon team to “celebrate” the series’ 20th anniversary. One developer likened it to the staff saying “We hate this crypto stuff,” and Ubisoft responding with, “OK, come get some.”

EA must be glad Ubi exists. Make lootboxes look good.
Players gave Ubisoft shit because of the NFTs, now to justify running the stubid blockchain they created, they trying to shove the NFTs down the throats of they own employees. Yay.

Customers are what make any publisher/studio great. If they keep ignoring the fans and even their fucking devs they'll decline to oblivion.

Imagine these employees in 20 years, digging through a landfill looking for the old HDD containing these NFTs because they're worth 80 grand each now. They won't find them though.

If you knew the mediocre, consanguinous and racist c**ts that make Ubisoft today...you wouldn't be surprised at their complete lack or purview, pragmatism and strategy.

Gotta give it to you Kotaku, solid headline on this one lol.

Ubisoft has really gone full fucking mental, live garbage games and now nfts when the whole world hates it. Are ubisoft employees not allowed on social medias so they dont actually know what the fuck the world thinks? Is the CEO a fucking idiot?

As an artist/designer I’ll say this! All that NFT thing started as a way to own “digital” motion art… things got insane so fast that anyone with some photoshop skills are making and selling NFTs

So anyone can assume how all this craze will end.

To add to my opinion: Are art galleries and big artists betting on NFTs? No!

 

[Fare thee well]

Okay okay. Instead of giving you money (because let's face it, we're not making much of it), half of your salary will now be one bored ape photo every year. We know, we know, you can thank us later for this generous gift.
