  • I worked there for five years. A lot of good, talented, passionate people there who had their ideas stepped on by Ubisoft corporate at every step of the way. The studio regularly received recognition from corporate, was trusted in taking over trainwreck projects from other studios, and with partnering with Ubisoft’s flagship studios on their mobile games.

    The only reasons to shutter the studio are A) corporate ruined every original project they tried to push forward, and B) they unionized.

    And now it’s not. The original developer bought it back a couple of years ago.

    The bigger issue is that, like with all of the Firefox forks, it’s still using the Firefox code base and security updates, which is what’s about to go absolutely sideways. Removing the AI translator is one thing, but it sounds like they’re planning on totally fucking it all up at its core.

    With no usable Firefox to use as a base, all of the forks are set to die on the vine.

    I mean, there’s a real difference between separating the art from the artist and separating the commodity from the producer. One is about enjoying or appreciating a work, while the other is about buying or funding it.

    Capitalism looks to forcefully equate the two, and that’s really a more important discussion, but it’s not the same thing.

    Not the government, not UCP voters, but Albertans.

    Sorry, I lived too many years in Alberta to distinguish between how Alberta treats the rest of Canada, and how Albertans treat the rest of Canada. Y’all got a cultural problem out there, and I was subjected to it for the better part of a decade.
