    I don’t see where gamers are referred to as non decent humans. But I have reading comprehension so maybe the article isn’t aimed at me.

      I have twitter links blocked, so it was hard to get to the original source for me too, but this is it:

      It makes somewhat more sense in context. He’s not calling all gamers scum, he saying “gamers” (in scare quotes) that root for the downfall of companies and harass people on social media are not decent people.

      There’s still some room to disagree with him, but it’s not as bad as the top headline makes it out to be.

        I’m sure we can all agree this guy’s position wouldn’t even have existed if Ubisoft wasn’t so damn greedy for every extra cent they can take from their customers.

        Sorry, I was throwing shade at how they twisted their words. The person is talking about people who go on LinkedIn and boast about Ubisoft failing “directly” to the employees. Not really a ‘gamers are the problem and that’s why we failed’ but a ‘hey everybody, stop talking about our failures and look over there at these terrible people’
