Uplay admin console april's fool - not funny

[RippieFlippie]

guys, no sh*t, whoever had this idea needs his head rammed into the table to get some common sense into his brain. Haha, is not it funny? Let's have a little pop up in Uplay that opens a console which looks like some Virus with lots of red characters all in DOS format. I clicked on it and upon it opening I panickely closed uplay via task manager, deleted all Uplay content and games and ran a 4h virus scan only to find nothing and then read in some forum it is a April's fool thing. Seriously man, it is only funny if it does not look like some virus that hacked Uplay and my computer. Man, I swear sometimes you get the impression they farmed all adults that never exceeded the brains of 5 year olds and put them all in the gaming indutstry to work full time on weird monsters and other eye-rolling stuff. I understand that not everybody brings with him/her the capability to work on a cure for cancer or work towards the next nobel peace prize, but seriously, who in their adult years works full time on something as silly as videogames? Like agenda for today: finish zombie model #5 and work on first person view animation of breaking someones neck. Great, a life well spent! Your parents are sure proud of your achievements!

The fact that you didn't at the very least do a quick google search for "Uplay admin_console" before going through all that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ you did is just pathetic, that quick 10 second search would have very quickly shown that it was nothing but a damn April fools joke so you basicaly have no one to blame but yourself for jumping the gun and assuming the worst.

It looks like CMD but CLEARLY very different from command prompt.

You were dumb enough to think it was an issue. That sounds like a personal probelm to me.

please do not insult me! I am not very familar with PCs and hardly play any Ubisoft games. Therefore I did not know what I was dealing with. There is not reason to insult me for this.
I have forwarded a screenshot of Uplay and a link to this thread to gaming magazines. I may also apply legal actions in a further step as I believe the admin console indeed routed private data to Ubisoft servers.

Lol, I didn't even see it..... GG, Ubi.

I'm not sure I get what's wrong or what Ubisoft did.

You are going to have play it a bit more straight forward, most of these people still havn't realized you are trolling yet.

Exactly! How is this not to alarm people? Look, I am only a casual PC user and mostly play on consoles. The PC is a black box for me. I just make sure I have Kaspersky installed and then I want to use it without thinking too much about it. If they think playing PC users for fools, then they will see what they get! Arrogant knows-it-alls, them Ubisoft!

C'mon, it was kinda funny. I was a bit alarmed at first, but googled it. Quickly found out it was a April Fools Joke.

That's... It?
That is what this thread is about?
I... I'm flabbergasted.

hi happyharry

[Papa Beerpool is back(ish)]

I'm going all in at guessing you have no sense of humor and don't even know what a joke is.
Or maybe you just thought someone hacked Uplay and you could actually unlock all games and add money to your account?
It was april's fool! If you don't know what that is, many other countries got that festivity, in spain we call it "el dia de los inocentes" (Day of the innocents), we make pranks and then we scream "INNOCENT!" at the victim.
