Marc-Alexis Côté, who led Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed franchise for two decades, is suing Ubisoft for about CAD 1.3 million (roughly £698k), claiming a “disguised dismissal” after Ubisoft formed Vantage Studios with Tencent and blocked his bid for a higher role. He says he was demoted and sidelined, prompting a break and a demand for severance, while Ubisoft says he left of his own accord. The suit also seeks moral damages and the lifting of his non-compete.

Non-compete contracts were initially given to executive-level employees as a means to protect trade secrets, but today, they can be found in nearly every industry in America, with an estimated 18% of U.S. workers bound by non-compete contracts.
