"attempting to drop an authoritative hammer as you just did doesn't speak well to your sense of collaboration any way"
What authoritative hammer ? I'm completely aware of the issues that a collaboration could raise so me saying that devs and creators (in a case of a collaboration) should always find the right balance and keep a strict and total control on their project is not authoritarian, it's just common sense.
But if that's what you think of me about this topic then you didn't understand a single word of what I wrote and said.
And don't make ridiculous personal attacks on me because you disagree with my point of view, criticizing my "sense of collaboration" without any proofs shows that you didn't even see how the open letter was built through weeks before we published it.
Besides considering all the sh*t Ubisoft did to this franchise for now more than a decade, yeah I believe that with my guidance the product will be better. But not only with mine, also with the one of all real fans. And I don't have any problem acknowledging that.
However I don't operate only under this belief, I am in general convinced that more collaboration is good everywhere, like in politics with citizens having more control and power over politicians than they have now. That's my opinion and you can disagree with it, but don't come and try to do low-grade psychology on my person in a desperate attempt to discredit me.
I wanted to do this post to clarify some things and put them in order since I hate to see people trying to misinterpret my words to make me look as an idiot or a dishonest person. Maybe it was not your intention by writing this message but I felt it so.
And I engage a discussion and reply to anyone I want and whenever I want so no need to say that you're not roping me in this discussion and repeat it several times.
However I stop replying when a discussion begins to spin in circles and this one is starting to do so, therefore I warn that I probably won't reply again because I have better things to do with my time.
