Just a follow-up, but three Ubisoft execs --Thomas François, Serge
Hascoët, and Guillaume Patrux-- have just been found guilty of sexual
and psychological harassment for the issues discussed previously.
Unfortunately, the fines (the largest of which is €45,000) probably
isn't enough of a deterrence to radically change things but at least
it's something. 

Ubisoft, it should be noted, knew about these problems for years but
didn't do anything about the gentlemen in question until the law
finally stepped in. I guess they figured it's just boys being boys in
the Ubisoft office, I guess. I've no confidence that the's the end of
such behavior and shenanigans going on in Ubisoft offices. I'd love to
see a law suit against the company by some of its employees --using
this case as evidence-- holding them accountable for ignoring the
problem for so long.
