Yves Guillemot, the co-founder of Ubisoft, is singled out for being responsible for “institutional harassment” and not taking action.

Back to return with the information of harassment and bad atmosphere within Ubisoft. Now, the Kotaku media is echoing a new lawsuit filed in a French court that is directed directly at the company and Yves Guillemot, co-founder of the company, accused of “institutional harassment.”

As we can see, the complaint was filed yesterday in the Bobigny criminal court on behalf of the French workers’ union Solidaires Informatique and two former Ubisoft employees. “The complaint targets Ubisoft as a legal entity for institutional sexual harassment for establishing, maintaining and enforcing a system in which sexual harassment is tolerated because it is more profitable for the company to keep the bullies in place than to protect its employees,” – indicate the complainants.

The allegations also appear to target various current and former employees of the French firm, beyond the aforementioned Guillemot, such as former chief creative officer Serge Hascoët and former editorial vice president Tommy Francois. Both lost their jobs last year after several reports of sexual misconduct at Ubisoft Paris headquarters. Of course, the accusation against Guillemot does not seem to be because of his attitude, but because he is in charge of the company and does not act on a problem that was an open secret.

Let’s remember that a year has passed since Ubisoft’s #MeToo campaign, and the apologies from its CEO, but there are still fears within the company that similar situations of institutional harassment continue to happen. In fact, we recently echoed this information. A story that begins a new chapter and from Ubisoft, for the moment, they have declined to make statements.
