Respawn was cooking when they came up with the concept of the “Data Knife”, the knife that you stab into things to hack them.

A knife that’s like a big usb key and a joystick

This bold faced lie is actually appalling in its audacity. What he’s saying is NOT true if a project is deemed in the national interest!! Which he applied for the whale-killing port expansion to be!! And if C-39 passes, even the conditions won’t necessarily apply!!!!

Carney is truly the Reagan of Canada. A calming, paternalistic figure in a period of apocalyptic uncertainty who galvanizes the economy with short-sighted right wing fiscal policies. And like Reagan, every disaster that Canada encounters in the future will be traceable to his administration.

I've never played Super Mario Sunshine but if you bring up the game around someone who has they'll either go "omg I love Sunshine, it's my favorite game, easily the best 3D Mario" or they'll just stare at you like this

Glad to see Muramasa coming to PC. I asked Vanillaware’s George Kamitani why he hasn’t put his other games on PC and he said he totally wants to, but it’s up to the publisher to finance the ports. So if you want 13 Sentinels, Dragon’s Crown, Unicorn Overlord, Odin Sphere etc. on PC, make some noise.

🇬🇧✊🌀 Ubisoft : enough is enough! Faced with the arbitrary decision of the CEO who doesn’t even dare talking to employees anymore, unions are calling for a strike on February 10th, 11th and 12th.

Ubisoft is no more, long live Ubisoft!

On January 21, 2026, Yves Guillemot announced the end of remote work, closure of several studios, cancellation of projects, and a new 200€ million “cost-cutting” plan. We were informed of this at the same time as the press — as none of these changes had been discussed during the mandatory consultations with the works councils a few days earlier! On January 26, 2026, management announced the implementation of a voluntary departure plan that will affect 200 people at Ubisoft’s headquarters.

We are promised autonomy for « Creative Houses », but what about autonomy for employees? We have been negotiating for over a year on remote work policy, sometimes under difficult conditions. An agreement has been in place since September in some studios. Trampled underfoot!

We are told about responsibilities, but those who wield this word so easily do not take any responsibility for the consequences of their catastrophic management.

We are not fooled: rather than taking financial responsibility for layoffs, they prefer to push us out by making our working conditions unbearable. It’s outrageous.

It is because we love Ubisoft that this situation revolts us. Ubisoft’s unions are calling for a massive international strike by all Ubisoft employees on the 10th, 11th and 12th of February 2026.

NO
to their anti-remote-work obsession
to “cost-cutting” plans on employees’ backs
to top-down decisions
to coercive control on our working conditions

YES
to our leaders truly taking their responsibilities
to management’s duty of sincerity in the face of its failings

It is time for our management to understand that they cannot do whatever they want, whether with public money or the work of hundreds of people!

Without us, Ubisoft would never have conquered and transformed video games as it has. WE ARE UBISOFT.

You failed to mention that Indigenous people are shouldering 20% of your austerity budget cuts. This is #apartheid in Canada. Following in your father's footsteps, as predicted.

Carney government cuts unfairly hit First Nations

Budget cuts to Indigenous services violate equality rights and risk legal, moral, and financial consequences.
