AC Shadows And The Criticism
The game has been the focus of constant criticism for its use of Yasuke ever since its teaser was released. Whether he was a samurai or not is sometimes debated based on historical accuracy. Other times it is just stated that a black character shouldn’t be the main character in a game like this.
This has turned into a whole anti-game campaign, which can lead to direct harassment of the participating developers. And after the debut, Ubisoft seems to be preparing for that.
According to a recent revelation from France’s BFMTV, anonymous Ubisoft employees have shared information concerning internal operations. Comité social et économique, an employee-elected body mandated for French companies with 11 or more employees, has reportedly developed a comprehensive anti-harassment plan. Its duties include representing and advocating for employees within the company and responding to issues, including providing legal and psychological support.
