The news surrounding Ubisoft as of late hasn't been exactly positive. After numerous allegations came out about its executives and game directors and resulted in a great many of them resigning (or being fired) from the company, CEO Yves Guillemot eventually addressed the matter before one of its Ubisoft Forward streams. At the time, many didn't completely believe that Guillemot had stated, but it seems he is truly sincere about enacting some positive change at the company.

According to a tweet from industry analyst Daniel Ahmad, Ubisoft has issued an update on the changes it is making to its internal culture. The biggest of these is that mandatory anti-sexism training is now required for all teams within the publisher. The statement reads, "To date, 75% of teams have received this training."

Ubisoft is also creating a new Content Review Committee to ensure something like Elite Squad's co-opting of Black Lives Matter symbols doesn't happen again. This is a problem for other developers in the industry -most recently, SNK came under fire for a rather tacky advertisement for King of Fights Allstar-, so it's nice to see Ubisoft push to be better.

The last important piece of this update is that Ubisoft has recruited a new VP and a new head of global diversity and inclusion. Ubisoft has always been a company comprised of multi-cultural backgrounds, but clearly something was wrong with the higher-ups. By replacing those positions, it shows that the company is making strides towards becoming a positive force in this industry.

All of these updates follow a statement Ubisoft issued back in July. In a letter to its community, Guillemot assured that the company would be assinging a new head of workplace culture and doing an extensive survey of its employees to see how far these allegations went. We've heard some of the results of that earlier this month, but now we have a clearer picture of what is changing.

It might be fun to slag off Ubisoft for how awful it has been over the years, but at least those complaints haven't fallen on deaf ears. If Ubisoft really does stick to these changes and its culture of toxicity comes to an end, then it will have earned back the respect of millions of gamers that once looked up to it.
