Thought that one was great. Would have been amazing if I hadn’t had the prior knowledge that Ubisoft can’t even get a line of credit for a 12 pack of toilet paper.
When your customers are consoomers, who like product and are excited about next product... it's impossible to overstate how much Ubi fumbled. They could have made an utterly average, uninspired, basic-ass game of their choice: Either AssCreed 1/2, but wearing black instead of wearing white, and embraced ninja, or done a simple basic samurai ARPG game (same as a longsword ARPG game, just different assets).
I've got to reiterate: They could have literally re-skinned Assassin's Creed 1, re-done the MC's paperdoll and just re-rendered the architecture with "ChatGPT, make this picture look Edo Period Japanese instead of European", and it would have turned a solid profit to average reviews. That's how captured their audience base is. And they still failed.
I purposely avoid the internet as much as possible on this day for that reason. I did see one about an Andy Griffith Show reboot. Also, when I was in 6th Grade my class pranked me by telling me I won some sort of contest and was selected to be in a movie with Eddie Murphy
Can you imagine a modern day Mayberry? Probably would look more like Kim's Convenience than the original cast. Probably a black single mother Sheriff, fair play Andy was a widower slow to marry Helen.
40k: The Musical is out.
Thankfully everyone at my work was far too high strung and busy to try.
NASA has had some great gag going on all day.
I saw one post on YouTube that Ubisoft aquired Helldivers 2.
I chuckled at the collective yells of NOOOOO before they realised the date then collectively sighed in relief.

I just loved it for the reminder of how shit Ubisoft's reputation is now.
People will knock on EA, Activision, Bungie etc but fumbling the bag with an AC game set in Japan seems to have killed any goodwill left.

The Lock Picking Lawyer on YouTube always has good April Fools videos.
I fell for the Seinfeld reunion posted somewhere.
With so many shows getting rebooted I just assumed everything is coming back.

Yea it would totally butcher it
I saw one about Trench Crusade being 'a dead game' with no dev posts since March. I chuckled and moved on.
It died before then. When they decided to start DMCAing people for miniatures that only look vaguely like theirs.
The Cheiftan has a good one today.
