Talking point: “These departures come following the initiation of a rigorous review that the Company initiated in response to recent allegations and accusations of misconduct and inappropriate behavior,” according to the release. The staffing changes are part of what the company called a “complete overhaul of the way in which the creative teams collaborate,” which will be overseen by Ubisoft co-founder and CEO Yves Guillemot.
