The picture with herself all dolled up, in front of all of the other employees speaks for itself. Just because she isn't wearing a bikini, doesn't mean she isn't whoring herself around to promote the game.

You're crazy. She's the producer, did you expect them to put her in the back of the shot? It's a fucking team photo, like any other work group photo, and the boss is in the front. Cut the crap with the whoring-herself-out.

Sorry if I sounded insulting. I just got "caught up" in it all, you have to admit though that reading here and there is like night and day with some of the words they use.

This place isn't exactly a shining beacon of maturity either

1. All this bitching is actually has gotten me interesting in seeing what Jade is actually like.

2. Does anyone remember when a drunken Garnett from 1up approached about appearing on the 1up show while dressed like a character from AC?

If anyone has the comic, please PM it to me, or at least the link. I need to see what the fuss is about. I saw the photoshopped nude already. Terrible photoshop job. :lol

It was only linked to on their forums (much like it's been linked to on these forums). They we're never hosting it.

You guys, it's Chugworth's comic. Chugworth has his own site. Considering you know his name, finding his site should be easy, and once you're AT his site, it should be equally as easy to go back a day in the archives.

I don't get why this is so hard for people to understand. And it's not as if she composed the shot herself.

Could someone fix the thread title? It was a comic, not a "porno image," and Ubi isn't actually suing because they have no grounds whatsoever to do so.

Guys, how is this hard. If you absolutely insist on seeing the stupid thing, go to deviantArt, get the guy's name, and it's in his gallery. I think it's flagged so that you have to login to see it, though, and I sure don't like the idea of linking to it here if Ubi's all crankypants about it.

Exactly.

It's in the damn rulebook. Rule 34 to be exact.

Hell, I'm sure there's hentai/porn of me floating around somewhere.

I started reading this thread when it was at ten pages, and I just got through it now. Still can't find it, after checking all the links and doing the google thing. This stuff isn't my cup of tea but I'd like to know what all the bruhaha is about.

Aha, HIM. I really thought that it looked like his style, but I passed that off as my imagination.

He does this comic - http://www.chugworth.com - which has produced only one thing of note:

He also has a separate site where he posts all of his porn illustrations and comics, but I doubt i'm allowed to link to that here.

So, I just registered. And when I hit the submit button, I get the message:

You are not allowed to access this part of deviantART because you are banned.

Um. Fastest banning ever? WTF. :lol

So I just took a glance at the 'Chugworth's' thing.

It's either talking about something I've never heard of before, or it's near God Mode level.

First: HAHAHA

Second: Do we even need to see the comic? Just going by commentary in this thread I have a pretty good idea what it's like.

1) Thanks.
2) That's what all the fuss is about!? Pretty tame by Internet standards.
3) It wasn't funny or amusing, and probably would have been forgotten pretty quickly had Ubi not done this.

It does seem pretty ridiculous. I've seen far worse comics or pics posted about people in the industry. That pic of Reggie f*cking an inflatable animal with a Wiimote where his dong should be was much, much more disturbing.

Well, I can confirm that just reading that description was worse than looking at the Jade comic. :lol

A. The comic isn't funny, it's stupid.
B. The commentary and response is hilarious.

I guess the lesson is upset people are more funny than bad humor.

When are people going to learn that trying to stop things like this with a threatening letter from a lawyer almost always results in the letter being posted by the creator of controversial content that results in 10000X the traffic to the site. I promise you 95% of the people in this thread would have never heard of or seen this comic until UBI sent that letter and the guy posted it publicly.




Sometimes it's just better for the company to leave stuff like this alone and it will die out on it's own with far less people even seeing it.

Ubisoft will probably lose if they try to bring this to court then. They would have to sue under the Defamation tort, specifically libel.
But to prove defamation you need to prove 5 things:

1.) the information was published
2.) the defendant was directly or indirectly identified
3.) the remarks were defamatory towards the plaintiff's reputation
4.) the published information is false
5.) the defendant is at fault

However since this is an internet forum it would be difficult in the first place to fault SA as the publisher or even force the user's identity out of SA. As per Stratton Oakmont v Prodigy “that no provider or user of an interactive computer shall be treated as a publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider,” Thus forums can't be faulted for third party posts.

Also as per Hustler Magazine v. Falwell, statements that are considered so ridiculous that it would be believed by nobody are not enough to prove libel.

Exactly what I was going to bring up. The Hustler V. Falwell case. Its a parody that is done every day in media. If shows like South Park and Family guy can exist so can this comic. Kind of ridiculous they would even try to do anything. Its free advertisement for their game. Doesn't cover up the bad AI though sadly.

They may have brought it up just to bring more attention to their game. I mean its working.
