Yeah there’s “CEO resigns over sexual misconduct allegations of groping” and “Executive denies sexual misconduct, 13 women have come forward”
But this, what tf did these guys do?! Damn!
Edit: Fucking Christ
"…and after apologizing for that initial behavior over a year later, how he then groped and raped her at an industry event.
They claim Gbinigie asked them to meet him and some friends in a hotel lobby ahead of a PAX industry party. Gbinigie, however, arrived alone, and asked if they wanted to head to his friends’ room, where the rest of the group was apparently waiting. After brushing aside a “feeling of panic” and following Gbinigie to the room, they saw there was no one else in the room.
“I’m still not ready to relive the intimate details publicly, but that’s when he forced himself on me. It wasn’t the longest experience as, as he said at the time, his friends were expecting us - but it was enough for him to get out of me what he’d clearly wanted from the start, and to put me in my place,” they wrote.
“It’s taken a long time and a lot of therapy to stop listening to words that are burned into my brain - ‘you should be grateful’ - to forgive myself for the fact that at a certain point I stopped fighting him, and to try to be okay as I can be with the fact that my first experience with sex at all was rape. It wasn’t the longest experience, but it was enough to still fuck me up to this day”
I read the first line of your comment and said to myself “there’s no fucking way Yves quit”… and I was right. Ubisoft is a shit pit of this world.

And this is why I am not playing any ubi game until Yves et al are gone (so probably when they get bought out)
It was incredibly obvious that senior management were protecting the abusers when this all kicked off. And more and more just keeps coming out.

Detained for questioning, not arrested. Still serious, but wanted to clarify.

In the US, if you're moved to another location for that amount of time involuntarily that's an arrest not a detention. Seems the French code gives more police powers than our constitution.
The title I wanted to use but didn’t want to be misleading.

I was thinking the same thing. It gets difficult to keep track of all the sexual abuse allegations between game studios.

I do remember Blizzard’s fiasco, but after a quick search it seems like Ubisoft did have a misconduct probe just a few years ago

If you click the article you’ll see this is tied to the 2020 allegations. Which were mostly following on previous issues but nobody cared about abuse back then.

Not misremembering, it’s Ubisoft after all and Yves loves his sexually assaulting friends. And he said he was sorry for liking them, mkay… that makes it not so bad… in his head at least.

Edit: they need something similar to what we'd call probable cause and I'd personally call it an arrest without charges https://www.sba-avocats.com/Criminal-defense-attorney-paris-france-police-custody-mobile.html
They also have similar rights against self incrimination in France.

You don't get arrested for misconduct. You get sued.
You get arrested for sexual assault.

Jim Sterling (while not everyones cup of tea) did a bunch of stuff on them. Eg. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRhYT5Lgp98
