Ubisoft Paris workers speak out against "morally and physically exhausting" crunch culture.
Developers at Ubisoft Paris, the studio behind Just Dance 2023, have allegedly suffered from crunch culture, demanding management, and disputes with Ubisoft headquarters. Anonymous sources claim that the team was tasked with changing the game's engine just 11 months before launch, and bosses pushed ideas "that had to be considered at all costs" despite the team being "already underwater." Developers also alleged that paid overtime became commonplace, and a double standard was established. Ubisoft declined to comment on the claims.
