An Update from Ubisoft has word from the publisher on the actions they are
taking following recent allegations of misconduct in the gaming industry, which
included accusations against some of their employees. They offer apologies, say
they will be announcing additional measures in the coming days, and for those
who seem to think that there's a rush to judgment involved, they explain the
steps they are taking to investigate:
Concerning recent allegations raised
against certain Ubisoft team members: We want to start by apologizing to
everyone affected by this – we are truly sorry. We are dedicated to creating an
inclusive and safe environment for our teams, players, and communities. It is
clear we have fallen short of this in the past. We must do better.
We have started by launching investigations into the allegations with the
support of specialized external consultants. Based on the outcomes, we are fully
committed to taking any and all appropriate disciplinary action. As these
investigations are ongoing, we can't comment further. We are also auditing our
existing policies, processes, and systems to understand where these have broken
down, and to ensure we can better prevent, detect, and punish inappropriate
behavior.
We will be sharing additional measures that we are putting in place with our
teams in the coming days. Our goal is to foster an environment that our
employees, partners, and communities can be proud of –one that reflects our
values and that is safe for everyone.
