As there’s soon to be an Activision Blizzard-shaped hole in my heart due to the powers that be, let’s see what fresh hell is getting cooked up at Ubisoft!

A Better Ubisoft, a collective of current and ex Ubisoft workers to end abuse in the company and gaming industry, have posted criticisms of how a recent internal Ubisoft survey only discussed via summary video with few to no specific claims about employee satisfaction (the supposed goal of the survey). The video was shared internally amongst Ubisoft employees, narrated by Anika Grant.

“With the exception of participation and engagement scores, the talking points were delivered with no numbers […] there were vague statements like, ‘You told us…’ or ‘We heard from you..’ This gives no way of knowing whether the statement that ‘you have managers who are approachable and supportive’ means 95% feel this way or 51% — starkly different outcomes”. – A Better Ubisoft.

Why So Vague iBhard? Saying some issues in the survey were “above the external benchmarks for general industry” and then preceding to not elaborate in the slightest isn’t exactly the best look. Needless to say, this ain’t it chief Grant!

Ironic that you allegedly admitted the largest issues brought up in the survey were about transparency and accountability… And then didn’t give a single second of lip-service to the 4 key demands A Better Ubisoft has been making for the last 200 days. The key demands still haven’t been met and Ubisoft employee requests for the survey results are pending.

There have also been reports of past internal message threads with the company being ignored, even after times Ubisoft itself explicitly asked for worker feedback on things.

This Paragraph Was Written By A Racially Diverse Team Made Up Of Various Faiths, Genders and Orientations, So How Could We Possibly Be Bad? Said Ubisoft to literally any criticism of internal systematic racism, sexism, homophobia and harassment! In a world where the folks at PlayStation managed to fire a major figure at the company for attempted kiddy-fiddling within HOURS, there’s literally no excuse for abusers like Hughues Ricour, Tommy Francois or Adrien Gbinigie to maintain high positions of employment after allegations that would make Harvey Weinstein blush!

And don’t even get me started on the “female characters are more difficult and expensive to animate” debacle from a couple years back, but sufficient to say, it’s a lot less expensive when you divert your budget from jiggle-physics to internal networking to replace known abusers you should’ve fired years ago.

And with that legally mandated anti-corporate ventilation out of the way, it’s Product Poem time baby:

WW3, 2o22! Numerical spoonerism!

Recently, modern sport games have been plagued with a micro-transaction epidemic. The FIFA franchise has come under constant criticism for ‘promoting gambling’ with their packs, as has the NBA 2K gaming series. It seems that WWE 2K22 is also no exception.

However, whilst the game does appear to include micro-transactions, EA have reported that they won’t be too intrusive to the overall experience. Basically, it means that it won’t come under the criticism of being a ‘Pay-to-win’ feature. Obviously, fans will have to wait and see how exactly truthful that statement is.

WWE 2K22 micro-transactions will be reportedly only be available in the MyFaction mode. This is the single player experience in which players create their own roster of wrestlers to compete in weekly events. The developers went on to say that all the items that can be purchased will also be obtainable using in-game currency.

Check out some of the new features the game will be delivering in this action-packed trailer below:

Fans Worry About WWE 2K22 Micro-Transactions

In comparison with other games micro-transactions, WWE 2K22’s doesn’t seem too bad to be honest. Despite this, we will not actually know the final result, so must withhold judgement on that matter. Whilst it certainly is possible they won’t have a major effect, many fans are worried it could restrict the MyFACTION mode. Let’s just wait to see how it’s all implemented.

When exactly will this be though? It seems like fans will get to see their first taste of these micro-transactions in January. This will coincide with the next big WWE 2K22 news update as well as the next Royal Rumble event. Adversely, even if we don’t get treated to the games full details, we won’t have to wait much longer anyway. The WWE 2K22 release date is supposedly March 2022, so we’ll be getting our first genuine experience then it seems.

After the WWE 2K20 backlash, it appears Visual Concepts is doing everything in its power to try avoid a similar situation. As such, we expect them to not be heavily reliant on these micro-transactions as that will automatically have fans against them once more. Additionally, the developer has announced a variety of fan-pleasing features which will hope to change the game for the better. In particular, we cannot wait to see the return of the General Manager mode. An absolute classic in previous iterations, we hope it’s going to come back better than ever.

If you’re looking for that great fighting game experience, well look no further! We’ve got just what you need right here. Similarly, check out which latest major franchise just joined Brawlhalla’s impressive character roster. We can’t wait for this!
