Ubisoft's Legal Threats: A Misguided Approach to Talent Management
In a surprising turn of events, Ubisoft threatened voice actor Matt Ryan over his loose remarks regarding the much-anticipated Black Flag remake. This reaction raises questions about Ubisoft's approach to talent relations and morale. Ryan's comments, made during a fan event, were hardly a secret given the widespread rumors about the remake. - The company's heavy-handed response feels excessive for something that was already common knowledge. - The backlash from fans shows that such threats can backfire, damaging relationships with key talents. It's a classic case of overreaction in an industry that thrives on openness and community engagement. Ubisoft should focus on better communication, rather than intimidation, to maintain a positive rapport with its actors and audience.
