Hostage situation at the UbiSoft Montreal offices

[Malevolence]

Apparently a group of armed individuals stormed in and are holding staff hostage. Quite a few staff members managed to get out onto the roof and barricade themselves up there.

I know AC: Valhalla is a bit crap and all, but this is taking it a step too far.

Seriously? Is this what this is about? It says they've been on the roof for 3 hours...

Possibly robbers from nearby, trying to escape and legged it into the building

They better well apologise for that barricade!

It's UbiSoft though, so no matter how much heavy firepower the hostage takers have at their disposal a flimsy wooden door should stop them in their tracks.

Get Sam Fisher on the job.

 

[Diddums]

Did they decide to strike on "let's all wear black to work" day or something?

 

[robfosters]

People getting taken hostage because they made a game that was a bit crap would be peak 2020!

Get Sam Fisher on the job.

Oh he's already there....

Another bunch of nut jobs on the loose as per usual. Hope they talk it down to a safe conclusion soon.

Was a hoax

Didn't they do something similar for another release a few years back.
