  • Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot thanks his development teams. Did he say it was a challenging year because of Corona? Or because of all the work bullying, toxic culture and alleged sexual harassment cases that have popped up at Ubisoft. Even a year later people aren’t forgetting you only posted a lame letter addressing it, and only fired the one outed team leader… time to clean ship Yves and take your staff’s claims seriously.
