Ubisoft CEO Says The Quiet Part Out Loud - Access to Games Not Permitted Forever

In this video, we break down Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot's "accidental truth bomb" during the July 18, 2025 shareholder Q&A, where he was grilled on "woke" DEI in Assassin's Creed Shadows and the Stop Killing Games initiative. Guillemot admitted Ubisoft aims to "make games for everybody" without political statements, dodging DEI backlash on Yasuke and Naoe's inclusion (per Kotaku's coverage). On Stop Killing Games, he straight-up said "support for all games cannot last forever," defending server shutdowns like The Crew's April 2024 kill-off that made $60 purchases unplayable (per PC Gamer). Gamers on X and Reddit are exploding like a Call of Duty grenade launcher, calling it tone-deaf corporate speak amid Shadows' delay to 2026 and Ubisoft's flops like Skull and Bones ($200M loss, per GamesIndustry.biz).
