The French developer/publisher behind Assassin’s Creed and The Division got several of its employees together for a cute little video where they all say how they pronounce the name of the company they work in. One guy even changes his answer after being asked again. Gareth from Bucharest pronounces it “Oobi” when he’s talking the French and Canadians, while the rest of us get “Youbi”. CEO Yves Guillemont says that you can pronounce it however you want, so don’t feel bad either way.
