Regarding Ubisoft's unethical/illegal activity:

Executives arrested for questioning in sexual misconduct probe: https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-53391689

Ubisoft is a Toxic Workplace: https://www.ign.com/articles/almost-a-year-after-toxic-workplace-allegations-ubisoft-employees-reportedly-say-nothing-has-changed

Ubisoft using generative AI for promotional artwork for Assassin's Creed: https://www.pcgamer.com/ubisofts-using-hideous-ai-generated-assassins-creed-art-on-social-media-and-everyone-hates-it/

(While I think generative AI is an amazing and useful tool, I dont think it should be used in this way by a company that should be able to afford paying an artist. Therefore I along with many consider this unethical, but it is debatable).

Interesting... Looks like those folks are still going through the system https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2023/10/former-ubisoft-executives-reportedly-arrested-over-sexual-harassment-allegations/

Hopefully conditions inside the company have improved, but it's hard to get that kind of "positive" insight even if it does exist.

Very fair.

Thanks
