Summary

Yesterday, it was reported that Ubisoft is offering support to devs who face online abuse.
Now, more devs are speaking out against this harassment.
One says that they received death threats over Assassin's Creed Mirage.

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Assassin's Creed Shadows is launching this week, but the months between its reveal and now have been intense for the developers. Even putting the delays aside, they've found themselves at the centre of the culture war, with Shadows - and its devs ꧟- being one of the main targets of the anti-DEI crowd.

Yesterday, we reported on how Ubisoft has allegedly put plans in place to💝 protect its workers as Shadows launches, which includes "psychological and legal support" to anyone facing online harassment. Now, more devs are coming forward, with one sharing their experience with abuse after 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Assassin's Creed Mirage launched.

Ubisoft Devs On Online Harassment

This issue isn't exclusive to Assassin's Creed Shadows

"When AC Mirage came out I was told to get [raped] and [killed] because me and the team decided to have blue roofs on certain buildings and it wasn’t completely accurate," says envi🎃ronmental artist Léa Fages. "So yeah, protect devs."

Assassin's Creed YouTuber The Hidden One says that they received a DM🍬 from someone close to the dev team, also shedding some light on this. In a message, the source says that some are already seeking help due to the harassment.

"I have been told that developers find this climate of hatred🐟 stressful; some have relied on psychologists to get through the period," the source says, adding that they cannot defend themselves without "ending up as public targets".

"Ubisoft has made psychology services available in several studios to address this problem, I don't know how many employees are depressed," the s🤡ource continues, also saying that there is "no such thing as political agendas or conspirac▨ies" at Ubisoft.

That last point refers to the idea that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Ubisoft m🦄ade Yasuke a protagonist in Shadows due to some kind of political agenda. Some argue that it is historically inaccurate to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:depict him as a samurai, although much of the pushback is overt rac⭕ism, with racist language and imagery shared online 𝐆since the game's reveal.

Assassin's Creed Shadows launches this Friday.
