Unfortunate but this is the complete truth. Ubisoft has been extremely slimey and fucked up about this entire release, and this is more par for the course than a surprise.
Too many "content creators" are so quick to just accept "free money" from sponsorships, without putting in a thought to what they are signing their name to or supporting. Just look at how many people still shill BetterHelp despite it being an active factor in increasing human misery for no gain.
Sad reality is that people need money to live and the avenues for making money are very limited. One way or another you're sucking a billionaire's cock. Bezos's, Musk's, one of the Walton Kids, doesn't matter. Even the "self employed" are still at the behest of billionaires permitting them to be on their platform.
Even if it wasn't a misunderstanding and she actually welshed on the sponsorship, I don't understand how it is any of Twitch's business. It should be between streamer and sponsor, what gives Ubisoft the right to get someone banned over it and why the fuck would Twitch comply. (other than obvious corporate faggotry)
Yeah they should just go to another platform and take a 90% pay cut to stand up for my principles that i firmly hold via text comments on the internet.
To add, fair use isn't actually formal law, it's case law. Companies technically have the right to make you take shit down for copyright, it's just that the vast majority of game developers understand that streaming is free advertisement, so don't do so. Japan doesn't have the concept of fair use in their case law, which is why Japanese developers get more pissy about it than Western developers. Ubisoft just decided to abuse the copyright system
Edit: didn't know fair use was actually formal law, thought it was only case law
Maybe what you meant is that fair use is an affirmative defense...? It will win a case for you, but if a rights holder is determined to take you to court over it then it won't immunise you from the hassle of a court battle and most content platforms will acquiesce to the takedown in the meanwhile. This has all supposedly changed a lot in the last 10 years with hosting platforms being asked to 'recognise fair use' more, although idk exactly what form that has taken. I don't think it's been tested much since devs have mostly stopped worrying about it.
Thank you, I am stupid and for some reason after reading the title and image I thought they banned her for not following thru on the sponsorship, they banned her for supposedly breaking embargo.
Intellectual property. Twitch doesn't want people streaming pirated games that were released too early. This could cause significant financial damage to video games. Tons of video game sales happen in the first 24h and any spoilers before then could significantly impact the sales.
Could easily spin this so many different ways to attack Ubisoft.
Misogyny, because the streamer is a woman. Maybe?
Anti-whatever. Time expected was 7PM, now figure out what timezone that was, figure out what other timeszones that wasn't, now point out those other timezones would have either been more active at the 7AM time actually streamed, or left out at 7PM. Bonus points if it was a 7PM USA timezone when the game is meant to be based in Japan and therefore ignored by the "Americocentric" views of streaming times.
Racism? Probably an option somehow considering how easy that grift is.
yeah lol. lots of ways. say that the smithsonian is a respectable institution and they say that being on time is a white supremacy concept. you aren't white supremacists.. are you, ubisoft?? lol.
i mean... she deserves it for working with Ubisoft really.

Yeah, but there is also a line between giving them money through existing on their platforms or other means, and directly shilling for them.
One of those is a "necessary evil" to make ends meet, the other is being an active participant in that evil by pushing it onto others directly.

Because she's a vtuber, and twitch fucking hates vtubers with a passion. I don't understand why they continue to stream on that garbage website.

The only issue was she wasn't black and trans.

It's literally part of the formal federal law. The United States title code.

What the fuck is up with this game? Everything it touches turns to shit, Was the studio built on top of an Indian burial ground or something?
DEI and gross incompetence go hand in hand.
I think someone is sabotaging this game/company at this point. There's no way a company can screw up this many times in one project, right?
.....
Right?
Oh yes an Indian burial ground.
Just not the one you think of.
Ubisoft is run by cock sucking assholes
Unironically spam Ubisoft as abusing female gamers and watch the shitshow burn for keks with popcorn. Salt will be abundant.
Best I can do is teach her to hate...
Is European time in metric as well?
You joke, but I'm pretty sure the 24h time system is more common here than the 12 hour system.
AssCreed Nigero : Asian Hate edition was developped by Ubisoft Québec.
Both 24h and 12AM/PM are commonly used. The ''official'' being the 24h system.
Why would one nuke a streamer for starting on the day you agreed too? It’s not like those 12 hours are going to make all the difference.

Cry autist, and let slip the shitlords of Kek.

Uses a toon instead of its real face. A quick web search shows "furry" affliction.

Let them fight.
Fake gamer whore X trash dev
perfect combo
She left them no choice...
Vtuber, good riddance...
...based
If you haven't been banned for at least 25 hours by Twitch, you're really not a real streamer anyways.
