French video game giant Ubisoft detailed today how it will address toxic behavior and sexual misconduct in the workplace following multiple reports of incidences at the company.
In a blog post, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot announced the changes the company’s taking so that it will be better at discovering and dealing with complaints.
The new letter shows game companies appear to be taking serious steps to respond to a wave of sexual harassment complaints that were made public in the past week on social media. While more than 350 complaints have been logged on social media chronicling the incidents of harassment and abuse in the game industry, Ubisoft stood out among big game companies in terms of the volume of complaints.
Separately, on Thursday, Capcom pulled out of Evo Online (a fighting game event) after tournament organizer Joey Cuellar was placed on administrative leave following misconduct allegations.
