Ubisoft Montreal Headquarters held hostage - [citiation need]

Live feed of the incident going on here. Anyone else trying not to laugh at the irony of a bunch of game devs, who've made a game about hostage taking, being taken hostage?

Irony, it's what's for dinner.

We're getting reports in that the Gamergate affiliated terrorist organization known as 'Da Skullz" may be involved. Noted for their attempted assassination of game developer and congressional candidate Brianna Wu, Da Skullz and their leader, Tyce Andrews, are considered the FBI's most wanted Gamergate related terrorists.

Gamergate - the lame continues.

What is this, the 80's? Thought shit like that only happens over politics nowadays.

Not much urgency shown by those on the roof. Just sorta milling around. Not even dispersing and taking shelter or trying to find a way down.

I'm guessing they had it practiced as part of their security drill. Then some sperg in the lobby caused the alarm to be raised.

They clearly hijacked the wrong dev studio. Starbreeze Studios is in Stockholm.

That's just Montreal for you. There's a reason every other mayor of theirs ends up in jail.

Wonder if it was an inside job.

That's not an epic gamer moment.

I was expecting disgruntled employee. When you have thousands of them, one's bound to go nuts.

GAMERS RISE UP

Also charge up your scooters and make sure you have all the insulin you need.
Then, ATTACK!

Go woke, get shot.

Here's hoping.

It's just their NPC idle script kicking in.

It seems that the hostage situation did not exist.
The official story seems to that there was a robbery on the same street and the frogs instantly ran away to the rooftop.

Put me in coach I'm an expert at hostage rescue!

[ClipBitch]

Ironic. They made games about rescuing hostages, but could not rescue themselves.

If that's what this ends up being, then that's funny as fuck.

Pretty lame, Milhouse. It was because of this game:

The running theory is that someone called in a Swatting to the address.

Edit: they’re now reporting that there was a 911 call earlier in the day regarding a hostage situation with 50+ hostages and 5 heavily armed suspects. Definitely seems like a hoax. Police are starting to evacuate people from the building.
