Joke Police: Ubisoft to Send British Kids to Prison for Making Jokes

Ubisoft really do just do every possible thing you could imagine against the gamers.

Now they’re helping to send the gamers to prison for jokes?

Ubisoft hates the gamers. The gamers should be rising up against them.

Stop buying these games! They’re not even good! The Sony open world model (God of War, Spider-Man, Days Gone) is much better just from an enjoyability perspective, and the Japs do not hate you like Ubisoft hates you.

BBC:

Rape jokes, racism, bullying – if you’ve picked up a controller, or scrolled a mouse, to dabble in some online gaming then you’ve likely come across plenty.

The gaming industry, like others where people interact online, has been trying to figure out how to get to grips with behaviour like this for years.

Ubisoft, makers of major franchises like Assassin’s Creed and Rainbow Six, has now signed a first-of-its-kind deal with police to try and tackle the issue for its players.

The hope is for this agreement to start a conversation within the industry and see others follow suit.

Online gaming is a joyful experience for millions of people every day.

No it isn’t.

It’s a space where friendships are forged and memorable experienced shared. During the pandemic online games were a saviour for many people’s mental health. However its dark side is also plain to see. Abusive behaviour, deaths threats and grooming – can be found in online gaming spaces.

We want to be on the right side of history,” says Damien Glorieux a senior director of the Newcastle-based Ubisoft Customer Relationship Centre.

It’s too much!

They’ve gone too far this time!

They crossed the line!

It’s here, and at four other locations around the world, that staff monitor how players of Ubisoft games are getting on – responding to requests for help and actively getting involved with the communities that have evolved around their titles. They deal with everything from purchasing issues to online toxicity.

Other companies have similar set-ups, but what’s unique here is the involvement of local law enforcement.

The deal between the company and Northumbria Police works in two parts.

Firstly, it sees specialist officers share their knowledge and expertise on harmful online interactions with the 200-strong team working at the centre in Newcastle, who then apply that training to their daily work.

Secondly, an agreement is in place so that in extreme cases, where there is a threat to life or potential serious harm spotted, staff can fast track the information to police.

They will then decide whether or not to act.

Staff in Newcastle can also recommend the company start legal proceedings in some instances.

So Ubisoft is making decisions for the police?

Also – they appear to be talking about private conversations with your friends. Most Ubisoft online games are co-op rather than competitive. So if you are playing with a friend and say “get a load of this stupid bitch,” referring to one of Ubisoft’s empowered female characters, you go to prison.

This relationship between Ubisoft and the Joke Police seems like some kind of a joke.

But it is indeed real life.

This is what happens when you allow women into male spaces.

They just come in and monitor and patrol and start trying to force a vaginal system on men.

This is the price of losing Gamergate.

The gaming community is like Germany after World War II – occupied by Zoe Quinn’s forces.

We are all now on our own personal depression quest as we play games filled with black women and trannies and then go to prison for joking about it.

We never should have made Sargon of Akkad the general of Gamergate forces.

He never even succeeded in getting Donald Trump to tweet about Gamergate.

You had one job, Sargon: get Donald Trump to tweet about Gamergate.

But it was too much for you.

Nah, Sargon’s okay. He fought hard. He even tried to seize control of the government.

I’ve been saying he should get a cozy.tv account.
