In recent years, some “fans” of games and platforms have been overdoing it and after common criticism they resort to attacking developers. They insult them on social networks and unfortunately there are also cases where they they threaten. The CEO of Ubisoft has condemned these personal online attacks.
Previously, something similar happened to the creators of The Last of Us Part 2 from Naughty Dog due to the story of Joel and muscular Abby. Yves Guillemot did not directly mention which of his employees were affected. But given the reactions it provoked black samurai yasuke v Assassin's Creed Shadowsso I would expect that this attack was faced by the creators of a large action RPG set in feudal Japan.
“I am concerned about the vulgar and direct attacks on the Internet that have been directed at some of our team members and our partners. I want to make it clear that Ubisoft categorically condemns this type of reprehensible behavior.” said Guillemot in an interview published on Ubisoft's official website.
