What's not saying you didn't use the BLF inside of work for promotion?
Because none of my work was ever done at a computer (I was mostly on developer kits testing out the games, running through scripts for on-stage shows, in planning meetings with physical books to write notes in or in the middle of an event doing thousands of things at the event and not on a LEGO forum), and I didn't bother paying for mobile data until well after I had left Ubisoft and actually had a proper smart-phone.
Also, I do work at work, especially when the job is to look at people and talk to them. Looking on a PC or phone while in direct conversation is pretty rude, and silly for somebody who needs to sell things to people, aye.
I'm talking about YOU recommending games.
So why is this topic at all relevant? I haven't recommended any recent releases on this forum in a while (granted, except for Destiny 2 which I'm a moderator for a fan community because I was a fan of the original and I like Bungie), and my Game Awards topic has me as the host so i have to be impartial. Even then, do you really believe my ties to Ubisoft skew my opinion? I liked Assassin's Creed before I got hired with them, but I also hate most of what Ubisoft releases.
I'm allowed to have a brain and a sense of independence, you know. It's not like they take your ability to have a choice in your own personal life when you sign the contract.
You understand that a shill has to be paid to be a shill, right? The word implies somebody who sold their ethics and values out for the sake of profit. I haven't lost sight of my values, and I'm not getting paid by anybody to sell games right now. When I tell people "I love Destiny 2" and gift away copies for free, that's not Bungie paying me on the side to sucker them in; that's me genuinely liking he game and wanting others to experience it with me, same as how I approach any other game I really like.
You need to get over this fascination I'm "infected" or some kind of mindless robot like you seem to believe everybody at a big corporation is. It's ridiculous.
