Ubisoft has been facing allegations of harassment, discrimination and a toxic work environment since 2020. The company has received a wave of criticism for the way it handled the situation and the time it took to act to ensure the welfare of its workers.
The case is progressing slowly, as we know that the French police arrested several former employees of the studio, who were involved in the scandals and were accused of inappropriate behavior by their colleagues.
Authorities arrest former Ubisoft employees accused of harassment
According to reports, French police arrested 5 former Ubisoft employees, all of them accused of sexual misconduct. Among those arrested are Serge Hascoët and Tommy François, who were creative director and editorial head of the studio, respectively.
Authorities in Paris arrested and questioned the 5 detainees about cases of harassment and discrimination that took place within Ubisoft years ago. The creatives left the company after the whole scandal came to light.
Apparently, investigations into the case have been ongoing for all these years and there is a chance that the culprits will finally pay for their actions. At the time of writing, Ubisoft has not commented on the matter.
The case generated strong criticism of the company, which was singled out for not acting in a timely manner to improve its work culture and put an end to this problem that affected many of its employees.
