Monetization Director Gets Defensive

I rarely post on social media, but today I am sad. Ashamed and sad. The gaming industry is rough at the moment, we all know it. But seeing how “gamers” react on social medias, wishing ill-fate to companies and people alike is sad. (And not only towards Ubisoft) Even though it is always the vocal minority that express themselves on social media, I was hurt, hurt and ashamed to be a part of this community. What is even more revolting, is coming on LinkedIn and seeing the same comments from people within the industry. On top of exposing yourself as a clearly non-decent human being, you are affecting thousands of employees that are already impacted by all the hate despite doing their best to deliver incredible experiences. How can you wish a company to fail simply because they do not cater to you or that the product does not please you is beyond me. We are all on the same boat, please please please, stop spreading hate, we should all uplift each other instead of bringing each other down.

A LinkedIn screenshot shows Ubisoft Monetization Director Stevy Chassard writing an emotional post about gamers wishing ill fate on Ubisoft and other companies. The joke comes from an executive associated with monetization appealing to gamers to stop criticizing companies and uplift one another, making the message feel defensive and tone-deaf in the context of gaming backlash.
