A landmark trial is currently taking place in France, involving three former Ubisoft executives who are accused of sexual harassment, bullying, and in one particular instance, attempted sexual assault.
As reported by The Guardian, the court in Seine-Saint-Denis is currently hearing about alleged workplace misconduct that took place at Ubisoft Paris in Montreuil, France, from 2012 to 2020.
Ubisoft is of course known for major popular Windows PC and Xbox games ranging from Assassin's Creed to Far Cry and The Division. Although a few years ago, whistle-blowers began sounding the alarm about conduct within the organization, leading to a variety of firings and even arrests.
One member of staff Ubisoft is quoted as likening the office atmosphere to "a boys club above the law." Here's everything we know so far about the trial.
