The site's sources are "speculation online". Let me translate that for you: it's goddamn Reddit memes :rolleyes:

Video game creators at Ubisoft Montréal – the development studio that rebuilt 18th-century Paris in its 2014 historical action game Assassin’s Creed Unity – have joined the global outpouring of grief in the wake of Monday’s devastating fire at Notre Dame Cathedral.
Ubisoft will be donating €500,000 to help with restoration efforts, and is also making Assassin’s Creed Unity available free on PC for the next week, “giving everyone the chance to experience the majesty and beauty of Notre Dame the best way we know how”, said a studio spokesperson. “We hope, with this small gesture, we can provide everyone an opportunity to appreciate our virtual homage to this monumental piece of architecture.”

The original article implied that the game Assassin's Creed Unity
itself could play a role in the reconstruction of the Notre Dame, by being a reference for those rebuilding the cathedral. That is a crock of shit. The fact that Ubisoft donates a large sum of money and allows people to play the game for free is a whole different matter.

So if Ubisoft allows us to play Unity for free because the Notre Dame burned up, who's going to set fire to the Akrapolis?

Didn't the Roman Colosseum burn down like three times and was actually pillaged into its current condition?
My point is all kinds of cool stuff has been ruined in the past; you rebuild it, that's what humans do.
Everything will be alright in a few years.
