Desilet fired by Ubisoft "escorted out of the building by two guards"

"Contrary to any statements made earlier today, this morning I was terminated by Ubisoft," Desilets told Polygon. "I was notified of this termination in person, handed a termination notice and was unceremoniously escorted out of the building by two guards without being able to say goodbye to my team or collect my personal belongings."

"This was not my decision."

"Ubisoft's actions are baseless and without merit. I intend to fight Ubisoft vigorously for my rights, for my team and for my game. "

In their statement to press earlier in the day, Ubisoft officials said that the company and Desilets parted ways after "good faith discussions."

Desilet worked on THQ Montreal that was acquired by Ubi after THQ went bankrupt. What say you SW? Pretty dirty way to treat the creative force behind the >$100M franchise Assassin's Creed?

He gave them AC, they wanted to milk it, he didn't agree so he left. Came back with a new IP, they seen potential to milk it, he didn't agree so they sacked him. Scum bag Ubisoft. 

Too many bad Ass Creed's

He fell out with Ubisoft. Left the company and joined THQ Montreal. THQ goes belly up. Ubisoft aquires Montreal studio. Desilet ends up back at Ubi. Ubisoft gets the last laugh. Desliet is insubordinate. Gets sacked. Scum bag Desilet.

Humm,  there seems to be a lot of twisty turvey talk going on for this... wonder what happened. 

He didn't bend over for Ubisoft when they wanted to milk his new IP. Good for him.

Deosn't look like he left Ubisoft on good terms the first ime around, if so they were unlikely to retain him longer than they had too after inheriting him back with the purchase of THQ Montreal

Anyway, kind of off-topic, but I've been wondering this for a while, and the use of "an", rather than "a" in the article made me really wonder. How is "Ubisoft" pronounced? I've heard it like "YOU bee soft", and like "OO bee soft", and even as a half abbreviation, like "U.B.I. soft". Which is it?

That's what I had always thought, because that seems the most natural, but I see articles like this, where they talk about people at Ubisoft, and they'll write "an  Ubisoft employee" rather than  "a  Ubisoft employee". I guess "an" might be correct either way because, regardless of pronunciation, "Ubisoft" starts with a vowell, but if it's being pronounced  "You bee soft", then "an Ubisoft employee" sounds highly unnatural.

well I'm sure he's not innocent in all this, must have done something to get his ass escorted out. 

Never liked him anyway, he always seemed so smug about himself

That makes sense, given the context of "an", rather than "a".

Not really... that's the typical policy for people in his kind of position, especially considering he wasn't seeing eye to eye with the higher ups.

people get fired unfairly all the time.

now i don't know anything about the case with this guy  but i'm just saying that you can't think that every firing has a legit reason.

Was he the guy that got canned because he drew cartoons of Ubi higher-ups in unflattering situations? Read something about that recently.donalbane
