Its sad to see Ubi soft go this low. I actually had some respect for them...


Yeah, they've improved their image in last few years a lot, but they are just as assholes as anybody else - don't forget that Gameloft is owned by one of two Ubisoft brothers, and Gameloft is pretty much considered a sweatshop - so, to be honest, I'm not really expecting Ubi to be actually nice, except as much as they have to cause of a public opinions and such.

I just had visions of the quote from post-Bushnell Atari, where the president/CEO of Atari at the time called his game designers, "towel designers"

However, Kassar's response was less than what they were hoping for.

"They wrote a letter to Ray Kassar saying 'give us a share, give us a fair share'... they wanted a cut a royalty program or something. Ray wrote back this letter that basically dismissed them entirely, including one phrase that specifically said 'you're nothing but a bunch of towel designers, you're a dime a dozen.
