      Ubislime have been on a upward failure trajectory since 2006 when yves refused to make Rayman4 for us old time fans and instead we got those ugly mentally decapitated rabbits nobody asked for. Then fastforward to 2010 and the final releases for GRFS & SC-Con failed to live up to the impressive gameplay tech demos shown off at E3 now a distance memory. Then things got even worse after the end of the ps3/xbox 360's life cycle when yves and his spineless entourage pulled the life cord on many videogame projects that had the potential to be ever lasting fun action adventure titles and went on a psychotic vet dev job cutting spree getting rid of over 300 talented people at the studio who'd been putting lots of over time in WIPs i.e. Rainbow Six Patriots, Prince Of Persia Redemption, Star Wars 1313 and the original concept for BYG&E2. Now the studio is nothing but a depressing money/data gouging imaginatively bankrupted pc deficit junkie encrusted sweatshop that're no longer fit to make videogames for the old time fans ubislime have been neglecting n written off for the last 20yrs.

      They don't make demands, they just put it in the game and the executives don't bother to look in on the project because they have no interest in games.
      The executives have no idea that their new employees make substandard work with artistic decisions that the wider audience finds unappealing.
      The journalists complain about the company and then they make some half assed hiring policy to address the toxicity or political concerns in a tokenistic way that lets these people in.
      Then we get these garbage games and the executives think that they gave "us" what we want when really they are catering to 3 journalists and a huge chunk of people that will criticize games but never buy any of them when they make the requested pandering changes.

      Propaganda from "urinalists" portraying how terrible the working conditions in game industry is, how crunches are at inhumane level, how developers' "tears and sweats" are put into the production, etc. Those are only 30% of the truth, and 70% overexaggeration.
      Indie, sure, but that's a given, same for any independent professional. However, working in AAA industry is a luxury in comparison to other fields, such as medical, science, etc.
      Because of such propaganda, it deters lots of normal people to seek for game industry careers, and open the doors for influx of weirdos getting into the industry. Thus, first the HR, then novice inexperienced weirdo are promoted to a higher position. As a result, it creates chain reactions, pushing out talented normal developers while increasing their own group size.
      Think about it, if such working conditions in game industry is harsh, why those weirdos want to join in the 1st place. And the fact that we know they are lazy and expert procrastinators, and spend their time on social media.
      TL,DR version:
      Propaganda about how terrible game industry is -> Deter normal people and seek weirdos to join in their cause -> Increase their groups' size and influence. Rinse and repeat.

    As some one who works for the Government of Canada (GC), I can 100% believe Ubisoft has these internal groups. The GC is riddle with these groups and they do nothing but waste corporate time by having frivolous meetings weekly (in some cases even bi-weekly) that are paid for by tax payers. They also act as miniature unions, trying to bargain for extra benefits from upper management. While Ubisoft is based in France, there's a fair amount of business culture overlap as the GC tends to try to emulate things Europeans and Americans do based on similar values.
