the leak also essentially caused the current 'schism' of classic/RPG fans due to a vastly changed direction. All because somebody wanted a couple seconds of fame and a website was all too willing to give it to them for clicks. So, yeah, leaks can be very impactful.

Now, this means that not only did the leak demoralize the team working on the game greatly (due to tons of negative reception), but if the people I talked to are right (specifying this cause on huge projects everyone has different perspectives),

I never worked on AC, but my colleagues who did later told me the overwhelmingly negative reception to this leak in the wake of problematic Unity release was a big factor in making sure the franchise direction steers as far away from classic AC as possible.

I joined Ubisoft January 2015, not too long after Kotaku's leak of Assassin's Creed Syndicate. My at the time new colleagues told me I've just missed a huge shitshow surrounding this.

It is very weird to read this on a website which, while did post a significant number of VERY important articles shedding light on the quite shitty underbelly of the industry, also was a host to tons of leaked games information that didn't have anything to do with public interest

When GTA6 will be released, and it will look polished, there will be a certain caste of people who will be full of themselves and say, 'That's thanks to us providing feedback about how shitty it looked when it leaked!'

As someone who has left Ubisoft last year due to absolute demoralisation from the revelations regarding the company and people I trusted, I would say this is worth a read!

It doesn't make the game unplayable, but the experience is not as smooth as one would find on PS4.

Rings of Power: "Do you know why a ship floats and a stone cannot?"
Me: Physics.
Rings of Power: "Because the stone sees only downward."
Me: That, but also - physics.

Pssst, you wanna buy some death-sticks? With 'buy' in this context being 'watch', and 'death-sticks' being 'a comprehensive review of #StarWarsJediFallenOrder developed by ' ?

Is there anyone within the reaches of my network who can maybe spread the news on gaming sites that #AssassinsCreed III multiplayer is already inaccessible on PC, and that fans who want to play together before official shutdown aren't able to do that?

The official Ubisoft Support reply is that there's ongoing maintenance, but, you know... ongoing maintenance for several weeks now for MP that is going to get shutdown in September? Yeeeeeeaaaaaah unlikely.
But if it gets into the news maybe we'll be able to organize a farewell.

#AssassinsCreed MP, where you can keep the lead by doing "nothing" (i.e. social stealthing). Video from 2nd day of MP Weekend Farewell session!
For the next weekend I'll set up a Discord, so everyone who wants to participate will be able to find groups without matchmaking issues

Lately I've been doing a lot of self-promo here, pushing my #gamedesign YT channel. Sometimes multiple times per day. I haven't really done that before. But I'm tired of trusting the algorithm which is not doing enough. Check it, there are cool vids, thx!

It's sort of funny that literally the best 'keep watching at 0:30 mark' stat that I have has been achieved by just... showing the title sequence of a game. It is a really great title sequence though! And hey, maybe you want to see it and what's beyond too? youtu.be/T9P8eDq7Rzc

They didn't come up with a name later.

Western devs: We can't announce a game using just the code name, we have to come up with a proper title!
Japanese devs: So this began as a prototype of a strategy game with triangles, that became our code name and that's how we are announcing it.We'll come up with a name later

I see that Metacritic is trending.Who needs Metacritic when you have Stasocritic, my own scoring system I'm using that focuses on Design, Context, Aesthetics, Cohesion of games as well as Personal Emotions? Forget #Metacritic, adopt #Stasocritic , haha! :D

Still waiting! Until then, I haven't stopped making videos, even rebooted my channel to focus on reviews, and maybe you will like it! It's about #gamedesign breakdown of different games, including #GhostofTsushima , #DemonsSouls and even #HarryPotter - youtube.com/c/Farlands?sub

So, judging by what other channels my audience watches, if you enjoy , , , , , you will enjoy my content which is about deep #gamedesign breakdowns from a #gamedev youtube.com/farlands . Take a look! Thanks!

The ultimate test would be to take one of the long-standing 'below average' videos from the first screen (this is Bastion btw), and then put a new thumbnail on them. The test of course would take longer but I am actually confident it will be a successful one.

And this is the Hogwarts Mystery curve. It also started below average, but you can already see that it's not going to stay that way, and it will also become average and then later on pass the above average line.

Now look what has happened to the curve of the Ghost of Tsushima video once I changed the thumbnail. Even though it started below average, the new thumbnail, and you can see the bump there, changed the curve and made it go above average.
