Rayman Pirate-Community

Yeah, I can't believe that's an official T-shirt from the Ubisoft Store.

Considering the trash Ubisoft has been putting lately, I could have seen this coming, sadly. We had that Mini, that Bomberman clone, and now that laggy Incrediballs game. Ouches....

Ubi is practically indifferent towards the Rayman series nowadays, said shirt showcases it.

Pure concentrated laziness. Somehow, Ubisoft managed to turn it into an actual chemical component.

Heh. My mother still calls him "Raymond'.

I think my cousin used to call him Raymond too, even though he had as many of the games as I did at the time!

I always found it funny how a few people seem to always call him "Raymond". It's like "Jack" in the Jak and Daxter series.

Releasing his spirit is better than having a horrific image burned into material that deserves burning...release him!

FREE RAYMAN!

Oh God, hashtags! Looks like this Record Day ended just in time!

#RecordDayIsOver

Indeed it is, therefore I shall resurrect this matter which I recklessly abandoned:

My pronunciation of "Incrediball" is /ɛ̃.kʁe.di.bol/, where the last syllable definitely sounds like the last syllable of "incredible" in some accents of English, albeit stressed. Of course the rest of the word sounds nothing like English, so there you are

How was something like this even approved?

This is actually my favorite one in the T-shirt range: at least it's original, compared to the others that I find incredibly boring. And I'll take that design anytime over the one from Brawlhalla!

I guess Ubisoft was running out of artists and graphic designers when they made these shirts!
On this red t-shirt I'm not able to read Rayman, I only see RNYMHN
And on the other shirt, the circle is too small, it would be very embarrassing for me to wear it

well, before of Rayman, ubisoft generally make or publish port of other games for computer of that time (like a small European video game company) the originals games that it made were very unknown at that time. Technically, Rayman was the ubisoft's first successful game, and the first step that made ubisoft become a huge company since so much time.

before of Rayman, ubisoft was a really unknown company.

Technically, Rayman was considered a very recognizable video game franchise and considered an icon.
Rayman is still considered a recognizable franchise, although that ubisoft do not nothing really memorable about Rayman in this last years?
For me Rayman it's significantly recognizable in the video game industry, simply Rayman is in a absence situation of a really great game.

Maybe the industry has evolved towards a direction in which 3D platformers, like we would expect Rayman 4 to be, just don't sell that well anymore? There are probably notable exceptions, but maybe not enough to invalidate the trend. If Rayman were as lucrative as Ubisoft's top franchises, rest assured that we wouldn't have been waiting for 18 years (and counting) for the sequel to Rayman 3. But then again, who can blame them?

Eh, I understand the industry thing but seems that Ubisoft is trying to erase Rayman from existence, just today I've read this tweet about an update of that Incrediball online game that removed any traces about Rayman, Rayman name is still present in the game title but it is likely that it will be removed as well if Ubisoft continues like this..
Ubisoft hasn't just stopped caring about Rayman, so why even bother making an update like this?

Well, at least Ubisoft Canada remembered Rayman's birthday.

Also, I wonder if that loading screen is an still image or has animations of elements popping in and out.

Yeah, those birthday wishes were kinda forced though..

No animations, it's just a still image
