Ubisoft has shut down its Halifax Studio, just one month after 61 of its 71 workers voted to unionize.

Shit tier company

I mean this feels like it should be illegal. Another reason to not buy Ubisoft games I guess.

it is but it’s a proven successful strategy most of the time anyways since it’s cheaper to pay to fines than the lawsuit and 95% of the time the union doesn’t have to funds to pay for capable legal representation to force the issue so that they result in those fines in the first place.

I believe it is already illegal, but the ultra rich don’t expect enforcement, so they don’t care.

It’ll be a fine, which will be massaged away into a “cost of business expense”.

Guess I’ll just keep boycotting them

Yeah. It pisses me off that I’ve already been boycotting them for years. I want to boycott them harder, but it doesn’t work like that.

But the closure would certainly have nothing to do with union busting, right? Riiiight?

Cunts.

I guess my 13 year abstention from purchasing Ubisoft games continues (bought HoMMVI and experienced Uplay in 2012, vowed never again).

I knew they were going to do this after I heard they unionized. But this quickly is crazy

Guess they get all the benefits and security for being fired while unionized then.
