Ubisoft Breaking The Law With Controversial Mentorship Program, Legal Analyst Declares

Expert Verified By

Mentorship Program Excludes Men Entirely!

Story Highlight
  • A legal analyst has claimed that Ubisoft is breaking the law with its controversial mentorship program.
  • It is breaking the law because the program fully excludes men and is only for women and non-binary individuals.
  • However, the mentorship program claims to promote diversity and inclusivity in the gaming industry.

It’s no surprise that Ubisoft has been the subject of a lot of controversy lately. From failed expectations in its new AAA releases to failing stocks because of bad overall performance, gamers have spoken out against a lot. However, the company may have gotten into one of its biggest mess-ups.

A legal analyst has claimed that Ubisoft is “breaking the law” with its recent and polemical mentorship program. The program explicitly states that it’s only for women and non-binary individuals, excluding men, despite its promises to promote diversity and inclusivity.

Why it matters: Ubisoft’s alleged violation of the law under the guise of diversity with its controversial mentorship program suggests that legal repercussions may soon follow. 

In his recent YouTube video, legal analyst Andrew Esquire reacted to the Ubisoft mentorship program and clarified that it’s illegal. Additionally, Esquire argued that based on real players, the program should consist of many straight men. Because of diversity, he claims there can be Asian men and other ethnicities, but the mentorship would still include many men.

So Ubisoft did something illegal. What I think is that somebody who is actually damaged by that, who is not picked for mentorship or leadership should bring a case.

Esquire also points out that Disney recently got into trouble with the law over the same issue. So, Ubisoft might end up catching a case as well.

However, Ubisoft’s one saving grace from the law could be its claim that the program is not an internship or an employment opportunity. And the hired individuals would not work on any of the studio’s actual game projects. 

It’s unclear whether legal action will be taken against Ubisoft because of the mentorship program. After all, it is not the first time the company has made controversial moves—in its games or real life—for the sake of “diversity.”
