> Serge Hascoët, 59, Ubisoft’s former chief creative officer and second-in-command, was found guilty of psychological harassment and complicity in sexual harassment.
> The former Ubisoft game director, Guillaume Patrux, 41, was found guilty of psychological harassment
A headline that should've happened for Sun Microsystems back in the day but never did. Mind-boggling abuse 2-4 decades ago never made headlines and was swept under the rug of history.
As someone who lives in the US, I was surprised to hear they’re facing jail time for this. In the cases I’ve heard, the company itself is sued and just has to pay damages to the victim. But I think it makes a lot of sense to hold the leaders of a company accountable for the culture they create and they should face jail time. I wonder why our laws don’t do that in the US.
> The court heard that Hascoët bullied assistants by making them carry out personal tasks for him such as going to his home to wait for parcel deliveries.
Er, that's bullying??
> The former Ubisoft game director, Guillaume Patrux, 41, was found guilty of psychological harassment and given a 12-month suspended sentence and a fine of €10,000.

Psychological harrassment of walls. Good grief.
