What is the correct pronunciation? The Giant Bomb staffers seem to say "Oobi-soft" but I find that weird. I've always said it as "Youbi-Soft".
Ubisoft Entertainment
Company »
Ubisoft Entertainment (pronounced yoo-bee-soft) is a French videogame developer and publisher, with its headquarters in Montreuil-Sous-Bois, France.
How do you pronounce Ubisoft?
You should have made this a poll.
I say it somewhere in the middle, but leaning more toward "you" as opposed to "ooo."
" @TheMustacheHero said:I tried to be cool and use the U with the two dots (no clue what that's called) like in the word Uber, but the character didn't show up :(" "Eh? "
@Scooper said:
University is pronounced ooni versidad in Spanish. :P" You be soft. Same way I say Tuna or Puma. It's not spelt Toona or Pooma so I don't know why people pronounce it like that. "
oobisoft, even though that doesn't make any sense. You would not say oonicorn or ooniversal. But it's forrin an' that, innit?
I remeber a video somewhere where someone is talking to a YOObisoft employee about a certain game and everytime the journalist said "OObisoft" the person from YOObisoft corrected them...
" dude, this is the greatest question ever i salute you but WHY NOT A POLL? FUCK! "I have a tendency to create threads that should have been polls.
I use to say U-B-soft but it's correctly pronounced oobi-soft I think after hearing several people who work there call it that.
" @Ahmad_Metallic said:well since the last E3 we all noticed the Ubisoft issue, so i suggest you lock this thread and start another one as a poll, that would be really great and you get a double salute." dude, this is the greatest question ever i salute you but WHY NOT A POLL? FUCK! "I have a tendency to create threads that should have been polls. "
its your thread though so as you wish =]
" @natetodamax said:No" What is the correct pronunciation? The Giant Bomb staffers seem to say "Oobi-soft" but I find that weird. I've always said it as "Youbi-Soft". "do you lister to Drunk tank on RoosterTeeth? "
I pronounce it Oo-bee-soft, and always thought that's how it was. But since at E3 2009 all the Ubisoft presenters pronounced it You-bee-soft, I'm pretty sure that's the correct pronunciation.
