A Better Ubisoft, a similar group of workers working for “real and lasting change” at Ubisoft, said the win was for employees, who have been dealing with their sexual anguish since mid-2020. They celebrated some of the major advances from it. A Better ABK “said” they will continue to be together as we work on #EndAbuseInGaming. ” that they have more time to do it.

Several Ubisoft executives, including former chief executive Serge Hascot and vice president Maxime Beland, resigned from Ubisoft shortly after the allegations of wrongdoing, but others have left. Ubisoft Singapore CEO Hugues Ricoeur, for example, was fired after a major investigation sparked several reports of sexual harassment, but instead of feeding him, he was sent to Ubisoft’s Paris headquarters to become director of production information.
Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot said in July that “significant progress has been made” since the immorality allegations surfaced earlier, but employees have denied the allegations in an open letter, saying they continue to expect “real changes needed”. A Better Ubisoft also criticized the appointment of Igor Manceau as a chief creative officer, saying that “Ubisoft’s creative team is white with a yellow culture”, including first assistants Serge Hascoët and Patrick Plourde, who remain next to the editor-in-chief. council “despite numerous reports of immoral behavior against it”.
