The article describes a trial involving three former Ubisoft executives accused of sexual and moral harassment between 2012 and 2020. The executives are Serge Hascoët (former creative director), Thomas François (former vice president of editorial) and Guillaume Patrux (former game director).

Main charges:

-Thomas François is accused of serious behavior such as showing pornographic films in the office, kissing employees by surprise, playing inappropriate games and using "sexist insults". He also allegedly tied up an employee, drew on her face and tried to kiss her by force at a party.

-Serge Hascoët is accused of racist and humiliating remarks, notably towards a Muslim employee after the 2015 attacks like asking her about her allegiance toward ISIS

-Guillaume Patrux is being prosecuted for moral harassment. The investigation revealed inertia on the part of human resources, despite numerous warnings. Some victims have refrained from lodging complaints for fear of reprisals in the video game industry.
