Yves Guillemot has spoken out about the changes Ubisoft has made to its culture, but staff still have concerns.

to criticise the speed and scale of the company's response to reports of employee abuse. Staff from the campaign—speaking anonymously—highlighted that numerous Ubisoft employees accused of abusive behaviour remain at the company, with some of them even receiving promotions in the last two years.

From A Better Ubisoft's point of view, those action plans have been hardly sufficient."Not only do weit happening for ourselves," said one campaign member, with another adding that, while"global management may not be aware of it," few changes have been made on a per-studio level that"[... ]prevent the cultures that foster the protection of ‘the best people’".

Staff from A Better Ubisoft addressed a lot of these same issues in their interview with AC Sisterhood, lambasting Ubisoft's employee feedback initiatives as"patronizingly, paternalistically top-down… centrally controlled and carefully limited". The employee surveys were accused of being made up of"biased questions" and management's"own make-believe".

"It was obvious for me that I had a responsibility to take care of the situation so that we could get back to what we were before: a company where people feel they can be themselves and come together to create the best games," Guillemot explained."My goal when I co-founded the company was to create a place where you can always be yourself," and realising that the company was failing to achieve that goal was"really disturbing" for its longtime CEO.

I didn't cover culture in my thought piece on Ubisoft Forward, but it's gonna be difficult to have any sustainable change until the people responsible are held accountable. Looking at Yves and Bobby.

Their stream was lame all they showed the most was Assassin's Creed no new games that's worth looking into or being excited about. Still nothing for Beyond Good and Evil 2 nothing for the future of Ghost Recon nothing for Splinter Cell.

but can he defend against deez nuts

must be some good weed over there.
