Funny how they make a big deal about jade trying to sale her game when guys like Cliffy B(gears of war),David Jaffes(god of war),Peter Molyneuxs(fable) do it all time and it isn't a big deal then,they are just picking at jade because she is an intelligent women and they figure her to be easy prey but i don't think ubisoft has a lawsuit but the comic was in bad taste and really disrespectful towards jade.

Do you mean "sell her game"? And who's making a big deal about it? No one seemed to be in the link you posted.

She is just on different places trying to promote assassin's creed the same thing those guys i mention in my post have done before with their games.


This is the webcomic that the guys at something awful made and thought was funny,

This is really inappropriate.
(The guys she fucked were far more attractive)

Heh, poor girl. I think some people thought it was a stunt on Ubisoft's part for using her (a producer, who're usually in the background in the games industry) to sell the game when usually its a developer or designer on the fore-front. I wouldn't completely rule that out, but either way, the comic is a bit much.

Funny as hell though.

i read about this a while back, and i find it to be utterly disgusting. I wonder how these men would feel, or any of the men who are defending this, if their mothers', daughters' or girlfriends' were the ones being portrayed like this just for doing their job.

I also find it interesting how men want women to be attractive yet simultaneously punish them for it.
