>“Ashraf Ismail is stepping down from the project to take a leave of absence,” a Ubisoft representative confirmed to Polygon in an email. “The development team is committed to delivering a great game in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.”
this seriously bums me out, dude practically saved the entire franchise at the point where most were tired of the annual BS (even though going back to Unity I've appreciated it more). How big of an impact will this have? I'm scared someone else will take over now last minute and start making changes that will seriously mess with the flow of the game. I don't even wanna get into how something you do (or accused of) on your own time (who you have sex with etc) can literally cancel you in less than 24hrs, I feel the world is just too crazy right now.
Should have kept in his pants, know what I'm saying?
Jose Kelly
you call turning it into a half assed rpg with 95% fetch quests, a giant empty world, and enemies that will oneshot you if the number above their head is higher saving the entire franchise?
Jaxson Allen
I'm not involved in this project but with most devs still working from home I doubt anything major will change. it's almost july too and for a game that releases in december there's maybe 1 or 2 months left, finacially 2020 is a crucial year for the company and they will not allow any bullshit.
t. ubimtl dev
Adam Sullivan
/vpol/ hated this guy last month
Alexander Hughes
It's coming out in a few months, him stepping down probably won't affect the main game. It might affect the dlc however.
Bentley Reed
Men should just all go gay or become 2D sexual to avoid this.
Gavin Smith
I doubt he made those major decisions. Ubisoft suits saw how well Witcher 3 did and decided then and there the next AC would ape it as much as possible
Gabriel Gutierrez
Can Muslims even perform "sexual misconduct"? Anything should be allowed for them, as long as they praise Allah. As the famous Muslim freedom fighter, Altair Ibn La-Ahad once said, "Nothing is true. Everything is permitted to a righteous Warrior of Faith".
John Ward
considering the last two game were Syndicate and Unity, both met with "meh", yeah I genuinely think the saved the franchise. It can be discussed up and down forever if you or I like it, but it boosted the popularity tenfolds. Without origins, asscreed would now be a mobile only thing.
Cooper Martin
Then they should let us help our boy Alfred instead of being mongoloid vikings.
Carson Wood
This is why I dont interact with fans outside of professional avenues or befriend them. They're doing this to themselves.
Adrian Wright
What game is your studio working on next?
Isaac Cox
> brown dude cancelled because he cheated on his wife you have to admit the irony is palpable
Why does this shit always happen in the entertainment industry? It's always game developers, artists, musicians, Hollywood writers and actors. Why don't car manufacturers or oil engineer get metoo'd?
John Turner
She's the director of Rainbow Six Siege's new Zombie spinoff game
Noah Fisher
How come he was ruined for cheating but cheating made Zoe Quinn's career?
Aiden Lopez
wtf why are my eurobros also getting cancelled
Parker Barnes
shows he's not married.
Wyatt Barnes
Assassin's Creed is one of the shittiest franchises ever to exist.
Parker Wood
Because they don't have "fans"
Dylan Diaz
Quick rundown on what's going on? Did he cheat on his wife or something? Was he actually married, but pretending not to be? Is there any chance that someone was actually sexually harassed?
I think this is the case yes. Haven't seen anything with harassment though and my brain switches off when I see that word anyway.
Xavier Rivera
He's a m*le, only women can get away with cheating scot-free
Kayden Rodriguez
So this is the kind of shit Zig Forums cares about these days
Joseph Hernandez
He’s a sexual degenerate and is not married, he puts on a ring so his Arab family friends don’t think he’s a faggot.
Jeremiah Martin
You put an arab as director He behaves as the arab he is.
> D I V E R S I T Y
Joshua Turner
I'm guessing he's married with kids and started hitting on and tried to fuck fans. I don't know ages of those fans but still pretty fucked up. Not nearly as bad as some of these other me-too dudes though.
Evan Adams
how come you can be held liable for not being able to think while drunk but you can't be held liable for not being able to think while drunk
Cooper Ward
>cheat on wife >career ruined would this happen in any other industry? he had a consensual relationship with another adult and no crime was committed
Ethan Foster
She was only a young innocent idealistic naive confused smitten vulnerable modest demure chaste girl in her late 20s! He took advantage of her!
she's pretty much a prop that fills in for useless shit like that user's pic.
Joshua Gomez
You get it, marketing wanted to be able to show damage points and skill trees.
Hunter Barnes
Please never flirt with women bros, I don't want to lose you ;_;
Ayden Cooper
She played him like a damn fiddle. Honestly feel bad for the guy, he was probably chained to work and had no personal time whatsoever eventually becoming lonely and thirsty for rainbow colored poon.
Isaiah Perez
Altair was atheist though
Henry Myers
>habibi I wonder if her name in his phone was >sharmuta lolol fuck yourself Arab faggot love, your fan in Israel
Chase Gray
They do if people find out they're cheaters or pedos or scammers.
Felons abd criminals practically can't find work outside a fast food or warehouses.
Camden Perez
>'m scared someone else will take over now last minute and start making changes that will seriously mess with the flow of the game. uhh you can guaran-fucking-tee it
Owen Mitchell
My only problem with this is that cheating whores in the game industry aren't held to the same standard. If a female developer was "exposed" like this, all the game journo kuckoids would cry "misogyny and harassment" and "um excuse me sweety, but this strong, liberated, polyamorous woman's sex life is none of your business" from the rooftops. And she wouldn't lose her job.
Black Flag was great Origin was good too. That's the last two games he worked on.
Gavin Flores
Women murdering you is progressive, you unfolliwing a stronk woke womyn is toxic.
Michael Watson
This ugly motherfucker is married, has several kids, and is fucking a bunch of white women on the side. What are you doing with your life, anons?
Jayden Reyes
How DARE you say that? He was a few years older than her, that's a huge power imbalance no matter how "consensual" the relationship was.
Cameron Russell
Wait this cunt is ruining his life on social media?? Lolololol fuck I feel bad for him even tho he's an Arab.
Xavier Mitchell
That's what happens when you turn professional relationships into personal relationships as an extent of the "relatable" trend that's going on Directors, CEOs, producers, etc, should never ever interact with the public, and this applies to every job, interaction with COSTUMERS should be done in a strict professional manner and by people qualified and hired to do that You work is not your family, a brand is not your family, products don't create a family bond Boundaries are important, keep them, don't open up to everyone, don't be vulnerable to colleges, don't say what you think unless you have a practical reason to do it, keep your cards close to your chest, let people wonder what your thinking, take care of your loved ones first
Jack Price
because you can't be sexist towards men or racist towards whites and liberals are not fascists
Nathan Hughes
You mean like some nobody indie dev sleeping with fiveguys?
Jacob Butler
WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON WITH ALL THIS CANCELLING GOING ON LATELY??? This is like the 5th case this month so far.
>year 1 BC >adulterers are stoned to death by the people >year 2020 AD >adulterers are socially stoned by twitter comments, their job forfeit and their career cancelled
>be dumb stupid slut >fall for it >waaah he's so mean and bad please give me attention Why the fuck does it matter if he's married or not it's his problem to deal with. It's not like he assaulted anyone. Hopefully Valhalla is late enough in development that it won't fuck it up much.
Michael Powell
shut up
Liam Myers
fucked up for the wife but wtf why do this publicly? What is the benefit except for the rush of internet attention for 15 minutes. You think he deserves punishment? Public lashings and career toasting because of an infidelity??
Hunter Bennett
Rather the 20th case this week. Most victims are Zig Forums related though.
Kevin Nguyen
>rapist making a Viking game What's the problem here?
Easton Rodriguez
How will this affect game devs hiring women in the future? They'll definitely be scared shitless of any repercussions from being exposed on twitter.
dude she's just being compassionate. You would know what that meant if you weren't a bitter lonely woman hating incel :^)
Levi Miller
There were even more? I just know of the ones that got posted on here.
Brayden Young
>talk to women >career is over >make a joke five years ago >career is over >kneel on someone's neck >career is over Bros, I don't think we're gonna make it.
Yes. He's an Arab, give him the treatment they give themselves back home.
Zachary Parker
He didn't rape anyone...that we know of
Jeremiah Thompson
you have a pic of the girl? I blocked twitter via my router so I can't search for it. But I'd like to see what the caliber of pussy that destroyed a wealthy mans life.
Levi Jones
If you are honestly still playing Ass Creed in 2020 then you were already an irredeemable gay baby.
Robert Adams
Game devs will start hiring only women to prevent these problems. Enjoy your all female dev teams.
