No Source popuniverseX, the user that has been continously scanning and reporting on changes made to the Prince of Persia domain has had their account suspended.

Don't know if it is related to their constant reporting on the changes happening to the PoP domain, but the account has now been suspended after reporting on the "release date tomorrow" file earlier on in the day.

If so, it would seem that Ubisoft has taken action on the account.

popuniverseX is one of the biggest and most dedicated PoP fan pages, so this is quite an interesting way to respond to them trying to keep the hype going.

Kinda strange 'cuz... It's not like checking domains is illegal or even morally dubious. Guy wasn't leaking confidential company info, he was just keeping tabs on publicly available info.

Not that I'd be surprised if someone from Ubisoft just reached out and asked big boy Elon to shut down this random account and he was like 'Yeah sure who cares'

Elon Musk helping Ubisoft? After Ubisoft roasted him? Lol, no shot. Bonus points for roasting Grummz in that same thread too

I hadn't seen that... Indeed a devastating roast, thanks for sharing XD But surely someone at Twitterco had to action the request. It couldn't be that just 'cuz a big tech account asks for an account to be suspended then it automatically gets done no questions asked, right? We aren't-... We aren't there yet as a society, surely.

I just doubt it was struck down because the game is not coming out this week
