I Am Alive Dev Claims Mistranslation, Says PC Might Still Happen

[jawakiller]

Bitching is a pretty understandable word for non-native speakers. Benefit of the doubt not received. Go directly to Jail. Do not collect $200 if you pass Start.

Will I still be able to collect rent when people land on my properties? Was it it doubles to get out or just snake eyes, I can't remember.

OT: Yeah, pissing of the pc community is never a good idea. Besides, there's a decent profit in catering to them. Get used to it Ubi.

BULL. FUCKING. SHIT. Quebecois can speak English just fine you lying son of a *****. Don't try pulling the goddamn french card asshole. You are a fucking PR representative. ENGLISH is the language that most of your customers speak.

This, basically.

Also, isn't it funny that for most people, learning slang is tough and the translation error comes in when they're too formal or don't get a specific connotation right, but for this guy, the issue is the opposite, where he learns "bitching" before "lodging reasonable complaints".

Wow, low Ubisoft. This in itself is more of a PR disaster than your bitching PC gamer comment. A seriously bad attempt at damage control, you've already made your view on PC gamers perfectly clear, not to mention the amount of chastising you put them through.

I honestly hope your reputation among the PC gaming community is forever scarred by this incident. Not that I buy your games anyway because I think they are all utter tosh, but I can honestly say I never will buy a Ubisoft title.

Hey, Ubisoft. How's that whole "We know that you're all going to pirate Ghost Recon: Future Soldier anyway, so we're not even gonna bother with it and just give you Ghost Recon Online, ya pirates." thing?

I didn't hear an apology for that yet.

Did you give us one?

Hm?

Meanwhile at Ubisoft...

Quick grab the Great Big Book of Bullshit Excuses!

i nearly forgot. in german we call them "ubi-schrott". which means junk. guess how we call microsoft
i think after AC revelation i might skip out on the next ubi-schrott games. afteral, i am a pirate and for getting the AC games legaly, im still considered as a pirate.

thank you ubisoft for making me feel so beloved and welcome. why dont you and eletronic farts work together and make more spyware or bad pc ports? you two would make such a lovely couple.

Love it - the old "I no speka di English, senor" defence. Textbook.

"Oh, shit, people actually would *buy* this on PC? What an incredible conundrum. We will have to release it on the system as soon as feasibly possible."

"I mean, 'Bad english please no complain compuutor game'"

Christ, this guy could backpedal his way through the Tour de France.

You just made me do a literal spit take. I hope you're proud of yourself.

Oh deary me, Ubisoft used to be fun! What happened to them?

Nice to see you've changed your tune in time for release-day, you jaunty weasel. Good lord.

Your game better be 6 shades of awesome or this site and every other will be a little too happy at this point to rip it utterly to shreds.
