The #MeToo movement's first significant trial in the video game sector commenced in France, focusing on three former Ubisoft executives accused of sexual harassment and bullying. The allegations highlight a toxic workplace culture over eight years, characterized by sexism and abuse. Women reported frequent derogatory comments, inappropriate touch, and demeaning remarks about their appearance. Despite the company's stature in the industry with hits like Assassin's Creed, testimonies reveal a disturbing climate akin to a 'boys' club.' The trial aims to confront and address these systemic issues within the gaming industry.
One woman was allegedly told by an executive: "That's an invitation to rape." Another was told: "That's a nice dress, it's giving me an erection."
