Bloomberg reported that “the teams involved in the Assassin’s Creed Infinity project have been affected by the allegations, and a spokeswoman for Ubisoft said the company had investigated all allegations of sexual harassment and took appropriate action.

The investigated employees would not have stayed at Ubisoft if the results of the investigation had justified the dismissal. ”
