EX-Ubisoft Employee: "DEI Only Improved Things"

The video posted by SmashJT addresses comments from a former Ubisoft employee. The individual asserts that diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives "only improved things" at the studio. The presenter contrasts that statement with reports of canceled games, delayed projects and declining confidence within the company.

The discussion highlights a perceived disconnect between the employee's positive assessment and the broader challenges cited by industry observers. leadership problems are presented as unrelated to DEI, and linking the two is described as misinformation.

The video calls for scrutiny of the claim and suggests that ignoring the cited issues would be misleading. It urges viewers to consider the full context of Ubisoft's recent development setbacks.
