Ubisoft is the French gaming powerhouse cranking out blockbuster franchises like Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, Rainbow Six, and Just Dance, developing open-world adventures, shooters, and rhythm games across consoles, PC, and mobile while pioneering live services and VR experiences. Founded by the Guillemot brothers in Brittany as a family business distributing software, it exploded into a global empire by acquiring studios and betting big on narrative-driven titles, surviving industry ups and downs like the shift to digital.

Ubisoft's gone full side-quest on the agenda, embedding DEI into every pixel with inclusion councils and diverse hiring pushes that aim to "reflect society" like a mirrored shield, BLM nods acknowledging "current events" while donating to anti-racism causes, Pride ERGs turning offices into rainbow hubs with LGBTQ advocacy, and ESG reports chasing sustainability goals that let them virtue-signal about eco-friendly servers amid all that electricity-guzzling rendering. Recently, Ubisoft scrubbed many pages related to DEI and LGBTQ, guess being woke is out of season.
