Rumor: There is an atmosphere of toxic positivity at Ubisoft, and the company's DEI policy has led to an exodus of talented developers

Ubisoft is rumored to have developed an atmosphere of so-called “toxic positivity,” which is slowing down the company’s development and has led to the departure of many talented developers. This was stated by blogger Legendary Drops, who spoke with company employees.

According to his sources, project managers and the senior board of directors pay almost no attention to criticism from the gaming community. They are sincerely convinced that all criticism is simply attacks by Internet trolls, since Western gaming publications extremely rarely speak negatively about the company or its projects, which means everything is fine. This approach prevents the solution of accumulated problems and worsens the reputation of Ubisoft. Famous streamer Asmongold emphasized in one of his videos that “toxic positivity” in the company is blocking growth and innovation.

Many of the blogger’s interlocutors believe that Ubisoft’s internal policies and various programs to promote the agenda only aggravate the situation, which ultimately became the reason for their departure.

Also It became known that Ubisoft management gave instructions not to enter into public discussions about the dissatisfaction of Japanese players caused by the game Assassin's Creed Shadows.
