    .....classic. Some of the responses were pretty funny....

    "who cares"

    "you know what?.....whatever"

    "you-bee-soft........is that right?".

    "....or you can pronounce it the way you want"

    At least he has a nice radio voice and doesn't do clickbait like regular GRW youtubers. Though on additional note, as usual I never really like that "9 Things WE Want". Not because I disagreed, but that's because as far as I'm concerned I never signed a pact for him to represent me in this occassion.

    'We', my ***
    This.

    I never get why people always say ":we want" instead of "I want"

    Guys, PLEASE, the French only say Oobisoft because the letter U in their language never has a Y sound, get it? Like the one guy in the vid said, Oobisoft for French and French Canadians, Ubisoft for everyone else. Another way to put it is ask Ives Gillimont where Ubisoft get's it's name. He will tell you from the words ubiquitous, and software, and he will most likely pronounce ubiquitous oobiquitous. Note that they don't even use the word ubiquitous in the French language (more on that below).

    What I find most laughable is how the French have gotten even a lot of English speaking people to pronounce it oobisoft, when in fact the French word for ubiquitous has no U or even OO sound. The French word for ubiquitous is omnipresent, pronounced with an ahm sound. So it's quite odd a French based company would even choose the word ubiquitous to name their company after, odder still they would get so many people whom have such a word in their language to mispronounce it.



    Bottom line, there is no such word as oobiquitous, and there's no such French word as ubiquitous. Basically what's happening is the French don't know how to pronounce their own company name because it's a frankenbuild word that uses the English word for the French word omnipresent. OK, class dismissed, there will be a quiz on Monday.

    Yeah..... He does make it sound like he's representing the community with these suggestions. ....but then again, this sort of tact is nothing new among the plethora of YouTube personalities out there. I just take it for what it is.

    Tbh, I prefer his Channel although he uses the "we" Phrase over all that Clickbaiters and Yoooubisoft VIP Youtubers with 2Hours Playtime and about 100 Shots fired in GRW.

    Here's a good video Darkdally made today, but again, Ubisoft will never listen to feedback from serious players who actually had the military experience, instead they prefer some mlg esport competitive "pro players". It's Rainbow Six all over again.

    I don't watch too many of these and honestly didn't watch this one in its entirety but I like his voice. He also doesn't seem to be flinging vulgarities everywhere like some YouTubers do. .....BigFry is one of those types I really don't like.
