The years go by and reports about problems in Ubisoft studios do not stop. The most recent has to do with Ubisoft San Francisco, the team in charge of developing a first-person shooter known as XDefiant, which has been in the spotlight for the silence around it, for its constant delays and now for reports about its culture. toxic work.

 

 

After a first report from Insider-Gaming exposed the problems faced by the development of XDefiant and its relationship with the demands of the project leaders that it be as similar as possible to Call of Duty, denied by its executive producer, new information has come to light and this time it shows what is experienced inside the studio. According to testimonies from workers who chose to remain anonymous, XDefiant is not advancing as expected due to the formation of a dominant group known as The Boys Club, made up of developers who have the command positions.

In this regard, the inexperience of these workers in the areas they manage is cited, as well as their inability to manage work teams so that the development process has fallen, several times, into the infamous crunch (labor exploitation). Likewise, the morale of the workers is reported to be low when they see that the members of The Boys Club are not only incompetent, but also due to the fact that their positions have been obtained without merit: "one member has no experience in design or experience with people and has been given management powers due to personal friendships.
