Ubisoft getting backlash for minimal abuse policy changes

 

Summary

Ubisoft has reportedly made very minimal changes to their policies against sexual misconduct and harrassment. Of course this has made a lot of people angry and rightfully so. The "#HoldUbisoftAccountable" has started trending on twitter so now Ubisoft's PR team must be having a nightmare

Quote

"An investigation by French publication Le Télégramme published in early May revealed that a first wave of legal proceedings was due to start this month in relation to the harassment cases. The collective action is led by Solidaires Informatique Jeu Vidéo, a games workers union that had previously called for testimonies to build a case against Ubisoft." - Gamesindustry.biz

 

My thoughts

I think that they really need to be held accoutable for their actions and they deserve this backlash if they are not going to do anything about this major problem for their workers.

Their abuse Policy's do nothing to protect their female and even male employees from sexual harassment and assault. Their HR department is a mess and doesn't do anything about their employees sexual misconducts'
