“DEI only improved things” at Ubisoft, says former employee “stunned” at “misinformation” claiming diversity, equity, and inclusion to blame for Assassin’s Creed studio’s drop in share prices

One former Ubisoft employee says he’s “stunned that there are still people spreading misinformation” such as “DEI is the reason why Ubisoft’s stock price fell,” stating that “DEI only improved things” at the company.

Last week, Ubisoft share prices plummeted significantly (thanks, Reuters) after the company announced a “major reset,” including the cancellation of six games and the delay of seven others. As reported by Automaton (and translated by GamesRadar+), Kensuke Shimoda – a former game designer at Ubisoft Osaka – recently took to Twitter to share his thoughts, denying that diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives have had any negative impact on Ubisoft and its share prices.
