If there is a development that is being, to say the least, bumpy and tortuous on the part of Ubisoft, that is without a doubt Skull & Bones, the title of a new saga based on the naval battles of Assassin`s Creed Black Flag that has been under the command of practically years. In the wake of the cancellation, especially since due to various leaks and comments, the title could be rebooting over and over again.
However, development problems have been joined the business problems that have plagued Activision Blizzard recently and that they had already been at Ubisoft for a while, this being the sexual harassment within the different teams, as well as the discrimination derived from this same nature, affecting this to Ubisoft Singapore, who is the team behind this project.
A new case of workplace harassment within Ubisoft
The Tripartite Alliance for Fair and Progressive Employment Practices (TAFEP), Singapore’s national watchdog on labor matters has recently started an investigation of this study due to the fact that they have received various complaints of sexual harassment and discrimination by employees of the same, being thus It was at the end of July when these complaints began to be received.
This same body has required any person who has had knowledge of these behaviors to report to the security forces, in the same way that, due to the power of the TAFEP, interviews could be carried out with the affected parties, as well as their witnesses in order to clarify the facts, even forcing company policies to change in this regard. With all this in mind it only adds one more case of this nature for Ubisoft in recent times.
Therefore, the measures to be followed in this case would be two depending on its scope, since if the sexual conduct involves any type of sexual abuse the police could intervene, while Sex discrimination could bring punitive measures by the Singapore Ministry of Labor. It will also be necessary to see if, after a new case, Ubisoft decides to take more severe measures in the face of harassment on its computers.
