ymenard and apologies to all

7 posts by 6 people · 17 Dec 1999 - 18 Dec 1999

Hey, This is certainly going to seem like a troll, but it isn't meant to be. I am sure plenty of you will want to kill me for asking this of ymenard, but here goes: What is ymenard's beef with Ubisoft? Whatever it's all about, it happened before I started readng r.a.s. and I am just curious as to the beginning of this near-legendary saga. Did someone from the company run over your dog or insult your family or egg your house or something? Do you have issue with their software? I am just interested in the genesis of this long-standing vitriol on your part. thanks, ~daxe -----------== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News ==---------- http://www.newsfeeds.com The Largest Usenet Servers in the World! ------== Over 73,000 Newsgroups - Including Dedicated Binaries Servers ==-----

He was actually owned by Ubisoft at one time. Being a test tube baby, created for computer game testing purposes. But, with the love of a good woman, and a clever disguise, he has been able to escape Ubisoft, and now lives among us as an equal. You can understand his reluctance to speak of this matter, I just thought you should know. Later, Brit -- The Artist formerly known as the Mocker ==-----

Daxe... my message toward Ubisoft are just me having fun trolling, for many reasons related to the company itself, how they actually create their products, how they treat the clients, how they threat their own employees, etc.. The main F1 racing HQ for Ubisoft is a couple of minutes where I live, and brings back to me bad memories. Ignore my messages or really laugh at them. Nothing harsh, and also after expect Ronald to reply to me ;-) Btgoss that made me laugh btw, very true ! ;) -- -- Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard> -- May the Downforce be with you...

To add a little spice to this thread. It has been claimed that the project manager for the in-development RS3, abruptly left sometime ago. OK, so this might be old news to those who read the forum at MGPRS2.com, but for those who aren't quite up to date on it.... I think that High Gear is still following this story, and trying to get some kind of official statement out of UBI. But I wouldn't hold my breath on that one :-) F1Filter

Ha ! I got ya :) FYI, Im still undecided on MGPRS3. It "could" be actually acceptable if they do what they told me they would do, but I seriously do not think it will, considering the dead-line they have, the workload of the employees up here, etc.. -- -- Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard> -- May the Downforce be with you...

I for one have never been impressed with anything that Ubisoft has done. It's all almost as bad as the stuff generated by Accolade (makers of the Test drive series). Just junk best describes it. Tony Long
