Correction or Clarification I guess? 2:30 - Re: The Skull and Bones rumour. The rumor follows some investigative reporting by Ethan Gach at Kotaku about obligations the studio has under and subsidy agreement. Quote from the Kotaku article: "But three sources also told Kotaku that a deal with the Singapore government requires it. In addition to hiring a certain number of people at its Singapore studio in exchange for generous subsidies, they said, Ubisoft Singapore must also launch original brand new IPs in the next few years."

2022-07-24 18:46:18 +0000 UTCCorrection 18:52 Damiani said that articles call out the teams inside Paltinum Games as A, B, C, etc. After googling "platinum games b team" I found no articles mentioning this. I think Damiani has a habit of compartmentalizing armchair analysts from forums in the same place as outlets with writers and journalists who are beholden to some standard of accountability.

2022-07-23 00:37:12 +0000 UTCIt’s probably been said, but I love Gabby just laughing in the background when the switcher mic is on. It’s been a great laugh track for the past few podcasts.
