I think one of the articles even pointed out that he met with other abusers (higher management) weekly on a yacht or ship or something. So he was in that awful circle...
I'm not at all shocked and pretty much expected this outcome when Yves didn't even step down from his position. He failed his company and clearly more aware of the sexual harassment and misconduct then he's let on.
You'll only get the illusion of change at Ubisoft and nothing more.

Of course shit wouldn't change, the abuser who protected the other abusers is still there, their shitass CEO.
At first I thought the same thing but… I guess they saw no effective changes were made so their misconduct was validated.
Damn, I need a new avatar.
Cause they know nothing will actually happen. There will be a few articles here and there but they'll just announce some games to shift the conversation.
I honestly can't remember tge last Ubisoft game I bought anyway.
Easy to not give them any money when nothing they make is interesting.
Also its great how the gaming press collectively forgot about their abuses and continued business as usual covering Ubisoft games.

I guess the rape company is still the rape company.
They fired and rehired one of the worst case on a contract basis.
You didn't need clearer signs that nothing was going to change.
Guillemot likes abusers in managerial positions and is fully backing the abusers, that much is clear.
I'll support the racists abusers at Quantic Dream before Ubisoft see a cent from me.

Ubisoft responds to damning report about changes made following last year's toxic management allegations
Ubisoft is accused of not doing enough to get rid of toxic management and respond to abuse allegations.

But Riders Republic...
I am not sure what can even be done there when the Guillemont family has so much power over the company (how does that work when they are a public company that has to answer to shareholders and the non-Guilemont part of the board?).

... 😵
That emoji from me was supposed to mean spin, given the reports.
It's absurd how their PR is pretending their CEO is on the 13th level, acting like he doesn't exist.
Go lawsuits.
The Guillemots continue to own the controlling majority of the company's shares, I believe.
So, until the company is actually feeling the financial repercussions of these horrific actions, they don't have to do anything- there's nothing really to answer for, if the media reporting about the abuse allegations gets several thousand clicks and the next game preview video gets a million.
What's a good way to influence management change without impacting the workers of Ubisoft?
At the journalist level I guess it's keeping up the pressure on Ubisoft.
At the consumer level is it actively boycotting Ubisoft games or would impact the pockets of direct workers?
Honest question as someone that wishes better from Ubisoft (Canadian here).

It's bad enough that the systemic abuse and harassment went on for so long unchecked, but now after burying their heads in the sand, it's back to business as usual? What the hell? My friend circle hasn't purchased an Ubi game since, it helps that they're in a bit of a stagnant phase wrt their games. I feel great not wasting money on their "products" and "services." There are way too many good games to play for me to stoop to lining Yves' pockets if this is the way he handles things. Especially after that simpering, insincere apology.
Promoting unionization for Canadian game devs would probably be the best thing in this situation. Boycotts aren't particularly reliable, and would need to be coupled with public sentiment as to WHY their are happening (or the company will get the idea "our games aren't mainstream enough" instead).
Minimal changes you say? So just like every iteration of their open world games for the past decade.
Funny they trotted out their HR hires. As anyone who's worked in one knows, you can hire fucking anyone but unless these heads are given massive leeway to make the necessary changes it means jack shit. And considering Yves is still at the top of that totem, I'm guessing these hires are probably having a rough go at changing the culture over there.

Only reason I don't boycott them over this is because I don't play their garbage games to begin with.
I haven't bought a Ubisoft game since Rayman Legends on the Xbox 360.

I for one am shocked and disappointed that a company that couldn't even post public apologies as this was being reported made no meaningful changes to their company culture
The only way to truly change is to start at the top. With Yves still there, it will never change. And if he retires, he'll be sure to put someone in charge that would basically be just like him. And the cycle happens all over again and people still buying their games.
That statement is just full of nothing. Of course nothing meaningful will happen until Yves is gone - fucking awful company.
Gaslighting fucks. I wouldn't want to be left alone in a room with that statement, let alone have my professional life depend on it.
It's absolutely damning how little people seem to care for this. And worse is, the normal press tours are hyping out Far Cry 6 like nothing's happened. I guess, in a way, nothing is.
This no longer matters, FAR CRY 6!!!!!
Ubisoft knows that this whole thing can be swept under the rug with a barrage of games and it's disgusting. You see how much discourse there is over the Final Fantasy games but actual abuse and harassment of real people are pushed to the side.
Fucking sickening.
