1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

Arrested means this shit is extremely serious. Like makes me think just straight up raping people over there.

Yeah there's "CEO resigns over sexual misconduct allegations of groping" and "Executive denies sexual misconduct, 13 women have come forward"

But this, what tf did these guys do?! Damn!

Edit: Fucking Christ

"....and after apologizing for that initial behavior over a year later, how he then groped and raped her at an industry event. They claim Gbinigie asked them to meet him and some friends in a hotel lobby ahead of a PAX industry party. Gbinigie, however, arrived alone, and asked if they wanted to head to his friends' room, where the rest of the group was apparently waiting. After brushing aside a "feeling of panic" and following Gbinigie to the room, they saw there was no one else in the room.

"I’m still not ready to relive the intimate details publicly, but that’s when he forced himself on me. It wasn’t the longest experience as, as he said at the time, his friends were expecting us - but it was enough for him to get out of me what he’d clearly wanted from the start, and to put me in my place," they wrote.

"It’s taken a long time and a lot of therapy to stop listening to words that are burned into my brain - 'you should be grateful' - to forgive myself for the fact that at a certain point I stopped fighting him, and to try to be okay as I can be with the fact that my first experience with sex at all was rape. It wasn’t the longest experience, but it was enough to still fuck me up to this day"

I read the first line of your comment and said to myself "there's no fucking way Yves quit"... and I was right. Ubisoft is a shit pit of this world.

Detained for questioning, not arrested. Still serious, but wanted to clarify.

Didn't Ubisoft have similar allegations just a few years ago too?? Or am i misremembering

EDIT: It appears that these shenanigans are from three years ago. Link

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

I was thinking the same thing. It gets difficult to keep track of all the sexual abuse allegations between game studios.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I believe you are thinking about Blizzard

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

I do remember Blizzard's fiasco, but after a quick search it seems like Ubisoft did have a misconduct probe just a few years ago

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Not misremembering, it's Ubisoft after all and Yves loves his sexually assaulting friends. And he said he was sorry for liking them, mkay... that makes it not so bad... in his head at least.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

same ones it's just taking quite a long time

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Haha, again? Oh boy...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

You don't get arrested for misconduct. You get sued.

You get arrested for sexual assault.
