"oo be soft" because they're a French company (at least originally). The "you" sound for U isn't really in their language.

It's actually pronounced like the word Hue more or less (slightly shorter,the first half) it's pronouced as such " hue - bee - soft "and the you sound is very much present in our language, for exemple baillou or caillou.

I just meant to say that it wasn't typically a sound used for just the letter U, but fair enough! I stand corrected. I'll gladly learn a lesson at the hands of a native lol

I've always said it with "you" but that makes sense.

I was only curious because of the "an" before ubisoft in the comment I replied to. If it was the "you" sound it wouldn't feel right to say out loud and it confused me lol

Thank you for the lesson!
