    He and his brothers still maintain control of Ubisoft (even through an attempted hostile takeover). It’s been shown in documents that management have known about but ignored the pervasive sexual misconduct there (in fact promoting the abusers) as well as extensive union busting, employee abuse, on top of the numerous lawsuits for selling/mismanaging customer data, rug pulls with games, and more. Claude Guillemot was an active founding member of the company and maintained his involvement throughout.

    Those alone I believe earn the ire thrown at them. I personally add the moral failings of their early overenthusiastic adoption of NFTs and AI.

    They very much are a part of the abusive wealthy class treating the world as their personal misogynistic playground.

    To argue he was “maybe really nice” is to straight up ignore his hand in all of that. Try again.

        You said you don’t know how people can be happy about the news. That’s mostly what I was addressing.

        Ultimately I agree, he should have been tried for his crimes against society and guillotined along with the rest of aristocracy ages ago.

        seems like his rich excess killed himself, i don’t see some activist attacking him

        rich people dying from flying most of us can’t afford to do seems like a personal problem
