Ubisoft has 'paused' advertising on Twitter

Numerous major advertisers have suspended advertising on the platform following a report that found their ads appearing next to pro-Nazi content.

Jin_Sakai158d ago

Don’t think I’ve ever even seen a Ubisoft ad on X.

VenomUK157d ago

'Ubisoft has 'paused' advertising on Twitter'.

That's ironic.

DrDoomer157d ago

Sounds like a short term improvement to twitter.

LordoftheCritics157d ago

Media Matters manipulating the narrative of this world.
Ubisoft bending over hard.

Thank the lord for X.

Jin_Sakai157d ago

Media Matters are just pure evil as Elon said.

They should change their name to Narrative Matters

Christopher157d ago

Love the buy in here. Media Matters, that thing most people have never even heard of until now, is manipulating the narrative of this world but 100% not Elon who literally owns one of the biggest sites for pushing his own narrative and uses it to promote "freedom of speech for me but not for thee" as exampled by going after someone for having the freedom to speak out against his site. Glad he gets to gatekeep freedom of speech while claiming that everyone should be able to say what they want.

Love the idolatry in your last sentence, though. Chef's kiss.

VenomUK157d ago (Edited 157d ago )

Christopher. There's more to this story.

X/Twitter is taking Media Matters to court because it engineered its results.

Magatsuhi157d ago

Your example of him 'gatekeeping' freedom of speech is Elon going after media matters for manufacturing false reports? You downplay media matters as if it it didn't have significant repercussions for their actions so whether you've heard of them or not is irrelevant. What's relevant is the effect they had.

It's crazy how you could express so confident your opinion and at the same time be so wrong. This is the world we live in now where people like you are so wrong and make up the majority.

Christopher157d ago

*** X/Twitter is taking Media Matters to court because it engineered its results. ***

Literally not what happened. Him saying it doesn't make it so. Heck, shall we just *point at Lionsgate, Disney, and Apple leaving because of Musk's own comments that prove Media Matters findings*

***Your example of him 'gatekeeping' freedom of speech is Elon going after media matters for manufacturing false reports?***

Oh, no, there are plenty of other examples. The guy who tracked his plane or people who mentioned where he was even though it was public information. How about his anti-Union tactics w/Tesla and firing people for that freedom? Oh, how about prioritizing speech for those that pay him? Banning competitors? Banning journalists who criticize him? Abides by India and Turkey demands to remove content even after he says he won't block Russian news sources unless at gunpoint? So much freedom and yet it's not.

Huey_My_D_Long157d ago

@Magatushi
Dude litterally censored people by request of Government officials from Turkey. When Called out on him not supporting free speech, Elon said "What? You expect me to lose business in an entire country or ban a couple of people"

Its fucking laughable how full of shit he is, but the fact that a large people say he protects free speech is way sadder than funny. He is not your friend.

Pocahontas157d ago

We will see in court. The main guy at MM sounds just as petty as musk. Elon has an easy case as no idiot in the world would actually force this and think it’s going to be a ROI. #1 rule is don’t piss off your advertisers or go broke. This isn’t a real thing. That is common sense which people seem to leave at the door because they hate the man so much. Same as Trump.

Crows90157d ago

Nobody is perfect. Just like people here will argue about who deserves a ban, etc. matter of perspective and quite frankly a lot of knowledge that you or we are not privy to depending on platform.

You should know this.

Seraphim157d ago (Edited 157d ago )

lmfao, media matters engineered the results!? Even in their [X] court filing they admitted it could happen. They just don't like the process used which in fact did show what they reported. So GTFO with that bs narrative. Like it or not what they reported was accurate as it can and did happen, and that is a matter of fact even X can't, and didn't argue against in their very own filing...

LordoftheCritics157d ago (Edited 157d ago )

Lol terrible take, no basis.

Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences.

Yes let us all talk shit about you on N4G, i'm sure your defamation will be greenlit with celebration and zero consequences.

O look a shining example from the party of acceptance and tolerance. You sound like a brainwashed sheep.

No one mentioned trump he just lives in your head rent free because you are the sheep the msm creates.

Ubisoft is the Disney of videogames, i wouldn't expect any less.

Huey_My_D_Long157d ago

Watching Elon Burn his investment to the ground has been rather cathartic. one of the biggest idiots out there

Pocahontas157d ago

He didn’t buy it because it’s a cash cow. He bought it for personal political reasons.

Seraphim157d ago

No, he bought it because he was forced to. He never had any intention of actually buying the company as was evident in him doing everything in his, and the legal systems power to not close the deal.

Pocahontas156d ago

@Seraphim Weak speculation. He’s a troll. He had everyone teething. Turned “millions” into billions. Richest man on the planet and your out here pretending to be in the know, better than Elon. It should be earth shattering to your ego when you finally realize this.🤣

DrDoomer157d ago

Yeah, what an idiot! He might be one of the most successful businessmen ever, but who cares!? Ubisoft is not advertising Assassins' Creed 39 on his platform! He must be tossing in his sleep. srsly what a dumbass, unlike us random gaming news site commenters.

Huey_My_D_Long157d ago

Most successful? Guess you are dumber than him.
Please defend a trust fund baby whose family made millions in apartheid sa. Having intelligence isn't required to be rich, just the capital to pay smart people to exploit their work for you.
lol its like ya might as well go suck the Bobby Koticks dick as well

DrDoomer157d ago

@Suck_Long_D
I said - "one of the most successful". Learn to read, smart guy.
If this idiot managed to make billions from "randomly getting millions", then surely a brilliant mind like yours can get rich too, Instead of slinging angry, kinder-garden-level insults at random people on the internet.

Huey_My_D_Long157d ago (Edited 157d ago )

Ya know arguing over semantics shows your weakness. Because he isn't either nor does the distinction between the two important at all...but that's all you have is semantics.
Yeah I still don't know what criteria of you determine how most successful or "one of the most" But I think he's just one of the loudest man child who used his wealth to accumulate more wealth. When he has direct control with no smarter people to save his ass he can't do anything. Also he certainly does promote nazi and white supremists ideals but not surprisingly considering how he's family made his money...the one he constantly denies despite his dad correcting him on what the family business was.

DrDoomer157d ago (Edited 157d ago )

@Deepthroat_Long_D_Hard
Yeah, arguing over semantics definitely shows your weakness. Because this guy hires specialists to build rockets instead of building all the rockets himself, definitely means he's an idiot, lmao, I'm too drunk for this stupid shit, good night.

The poor guy must be so sad being one of the richest men in the world, i actually think he's the one laughing since everyone said Twitter won't last, firing thousands of Twitter employees would make it crumble, people are leaving for the *what was it called?* Facebook twitter thingy that's dead already, and yet there it is doing fine with 350 millions daily users, Ubisoft won't buy ads who cares, last time i checked there were tons of ads for him to make money.

frostypants156d ago

Calling Elon an idiot comes off as pure cope. Like seriously, it's fine to dislike him, think he's a jerk, whatever...but he is objectively not an idiot.

TriniOutsider157d ago

I think don't I've seen a single Ubisoft ad on Twitter at all. I have not seen any Pro-Nazi stuff either, unless they're calling the Pro- Palestinian accounts Nazis and people calling for a ceasefire for what's currently happening in Palestine Nazis.

DrDoomer157d ago

If you haven't been paying attention - anyone can call you a nazi for anything.

Steam’s Refund Policy Change Won’t Affect You Unless You’re A Lowlife

Steam is changing its refund policy, but you probably won’t be affected

Should have happened a long time ago. People wanting refunds after 50 hours in game.

fsfsxii10h ago

Pc gamers will take this as an excuse to pirate things

KyRo10h ago

I'm not sure why you're getting disgrees. Whilst not all PC gamers are petty, an awful lot of them are lol

Crows9010h ago

Entirely untrue. Not any more petty than console gamers. The only large difference is console gamers don't have much of a choice.

Michiel19891h ago

Not sure why you're getting agrees. an awful lot of console gamers are overemotional twinks ready to go to war over a plastic box, I'll take being a pc gamer then.

Speaking about overgeneralizing much.

qalpha10h ago

Daily reminder that 'TheGamer' is a corporate-generated, anti-gamer, anti-consumer, clickbait web site. They are mostly A.I. generated articles that villainize gamers. They provide nothing positive and actively try to provoke and divide the community through extreme view points and politics. Do not give them any clicks.

Inverno10h ago

Only scumbags? As if people don't play their games on console put in the most amount of hours and return it to GameStop and trade it in for another game. But also how many people are actually do this? And what games have been allowed to be refunded?

DustMan10h ago

You can refund any game you've purchased as long as it hasn't been longer than two weeks, and you've played less than 2 hours. I wish they would change it to 3 hours because some RPG's have so much exposition that you may only get an hour total of complete gameplay. That's my only knock on it. I've refunded plenty of stuff I was just curious to try. I typically stay away from Early Access titles which are the only ones affected by this policy change.

Inverno9h ago

Apparently early access doesn't count, only complete games with a play early preorder bonus.

Gaming4Life198110h ago

I definitely know if I want a refund in 2 hours.

SegaSaturn6691h ago

I never liked refunding anything. Even if a film is bad, i dont want my money back. Sometimes things just aren't for me, and it's not the creator's fault necessarily.

If you're getting funding from a group that needs two different ways of Acronyming itself, things will not go the way you want them to.

If it was more online-only crap then good riddance.

jjb19811d 13h ago

Outriders was crap. They slapped that game together and threw in a loot system to get players' attention. This game was absolutely jank and the always online nonsense made it stutter like crazy. People Can't Optimize.

thorstein1d 12h ago

I liked Outriders but I could see where the artistic vision was compromised. The way the industry is now, it wouldn't surprise me that upper management would scrap something that didn't pull in money via gaas, mts, or other means.
