Ubisoft Devs Dance While Striking: ‘Yves Guillemot Has No Knowledge Or Understanding Of His Company’

Ubisoft's ongoing strike has taken a new turn as developers have begun dancing in protest. The strike, which started in January, is over issues of crunch time, layoffs, and delayed game releases. According to a report by Kotaku, the developers are feeling frustrated with the company's leadership, particularly Yves Guillemot, who they claim has no understanding of the company's inner workings.

The protest comes ahead of more planned layoffs at the Assassin's Creed maker. The developers are demanding better working conditions, more transparency, and a commitment to not delay game releases. They are also calling for an end to crunch time, which they claim is causing burnout and affecting their mental health.

The strike has already had an impact on the company's finances, with Ubisoft's stock price dropping by 10% in the past week. The company's leadership has been criticized for their handling of the situation, with many calling for Guillemot's resignation.

The developers' dance protest is a creative way to express their frustration and bring attention to their cause. It's a reminder that the gaming industry is not just about making games, but also about the people who work behind the scenes to create them.
