https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2020-07-11-new-report-on-ubisoft-reveals-more-shocking-sexual-harassment-allegations

"Basically, as soon as something was deviating [from the established tone], the stance was to pretend the person was anormal."
One of the person that came forward was described in the team at the time as "a [slut], a crazy woman that we should ignore".

The head of HR is reported saying:
"Yves [Guillemot] is ok with a toxic management as long as these managers' results exceeds their toxicity level."

"[Ubisoft] gives a 2nd chance, or a 3rd chance, or more if necessary to its key employees, the ones that proved themselves."

Article concludes that if Ubisoft has officially taken action on only 3 persons, there are 20 odd people being investigated by external auditors.
"These should lead to terminations [...] as you don't start them unless you have a solid case."

"For instance it was excluded, for the sexual harassment [example], to mention the case where the manager would be the harasser, it was deemed too pessimistic and employees might think it could happen."

Report on one of his outbursts about a VP that demanded a lunch meeting with him:

"Serge [...] said this "bad fuck" was hindering his creativity and that someone should open her mind by "[fucking her] from behind" and "share her around until she gets it""

"And today, some are trying to minimize this saying he is creative person."

"We knew about Serge. [...] He was present when [Tommy Francois tried to forcefully kiss a colleague], and that made him laugh."

"He reportedly blocked a woman in the elevator and put himself against her, making groaning sounds and looking her in the eyes. Some of his collaborators in the Editorial team reportedly did the same, to the point it became [a signature move]."

The cases had already been reported previously to the HR department.
"This shows the HR team is the silencing arm of Ubisoft." [Quote from a member of the HR team]

if anyone's played trials, the latest one has Ubisoft dev-created characters to race against to beat their times, and some of the characters were straight up disgusting. Lots of immature sophomorish humor like poopsplats, 69, 420, etc, but I saw a female character who had splats of a different sort in certain places, and then a CLOSED sign decal on her butt, it was honestly fucked up

About half of Ubisoft Montreal's HR department is threatening to walk off and quit unless they are fully exonerated by Ubisoft. I say good - let them walk off. Stupid entitled bitches feel threatened by an investigation.

Weird to make this about Tencent when these allegations stem from long before their involvement.

You see how racist, sexist, and homophobic people can be. How many of these attributes get applied to gamers? Now stick them in a building and get them to make games. I'm not at all surprised at the level of allegations in the higher echelons of AAA studios.

Video game companies are terrible places to work, we already knew this with how they treat programers and such, no surprise they would also have problems with sexual misconduct.

It's easy tp blame someone else but these problems are not just recent developments. They have been happening for a long now, we are juat hearing about it now.

I'm sorry you're still stuck in the 1950s, where there weren't any women in the office to sexually harass.

Not that you must believe, but how often has it come up that sexual harassment allegations at a bigwig company weren't true?
