A Dartmouth College professor who worked as a consultant on the latest Assassin’s Creed video game ended up getting harassed by gamers
Ubisoft told her to ignore the harassment, as did her friends. Instead, she drew inspiration from the late civil rights leader and congressman John Lewis.
Ubisoft officials declined to be interviewed about the criticism of the game or the harassment Schmidt-Hori faced.
“We do not condone harassment or bullying in any form,” the company said. “We are committed to creating a supportive and collaborative environment and we’re constantly learning how we can improve this process. We commend and appreciate Sachi Schmidt-Hori for addressing these topics directly and are grateful for her approach and expertise.
Wow Ubisoft, thanks for nothing I guess?
