Still boycotting all Ubisoft titles. Doesn’t care how good they are. This is simply unacceptable.
I don’t feel wanting to buy any newer Ubisoft titles either.
I’m not so much boycotting them, it’s just that AC has been trash since Black Flag and we don’t have a Rayman 4 yet… so… what am I gonna buy, nothing?
Agreed on AC but Division is a pretty fun shooter. Not playing the new one anyway.

Allegations of toxic workplace behavior against multiple Ubisoft employees started on Twitter and were later expanded upon in wide-ranging reports from Liberation, Kotaku, and Bloomberg.
Before his departure, Hascoët had served at Ubisoft for 32 years, rising to become the effective right-hand man to CEO Yves Guillemot.
Hascoët’s approval was reportedly necessary for almost every project at the company, and his input helped shape numerous games from the publisher.
Guillemot committed to “major changes” in a 2020 earnings call following the initial allegations, including an internal investigation, overhauled HR policies, and a full reorganization of the editorial department.
A year later, though, a report by French newspaper Le Télégramme cited multiple employees in saying that changes inside the company had been minimal.
The company answered that report with a blog post laying out “appropriate actions, including training, disciplinary sanctions, and dismissals.”
