For context: CGT is the main union in France, this is an AMA run by union members of the CGT Ubisoft branch, but there are also other unions calling for a strike (STJV, Solidaires Informatique, CFE-CGC Fieci, CGT, Printemps Ecologiques)

Hello everyone,

We are members of the CGT Ubisoft, and today, we are available to answer your questions until the end of the day.

We are here to discuss everything related to our union experience at Ubisoft, working conditions in the video game industry, and the reasons that led us to call for a strike on October 15.

Do not hesitate to ask your questions, whether it is about the role of the union, the current situation at Ubisoft, or our recent actions. We are here to discuss and provide transparent answers.

We will try to answer most of your questions. However, we may not be able to answer those considered confidential

You can also find us on Instagram to follow our news: https://www.instagram.com/cgtubisoft/

I will translate questions / answers in a comment chain below

    Q:

    Is there a way/effort to enlist colleagues from other countries? Or does the legal framework elsewhere make such action too risky?

    A:

    We represent French employees. But there are efforts being made in other countries to unionize. However, this is not our responsibility and we prefer not to go into this subject.

    Q:

    What was your position on the death of The Crew 1 video game, and the vague statements of the guy who said “players are going to have to get used to not owning their games anymore”? Were there any attempts to prevent the servers from being disconnected (which eventually happened)? In any case, it caused such a stir that Ivory Tower recently said they were going to implement an offline mode for The Crew 2 and Motorfest.

    A:

    We, who are also gamers, see, like you, that the pressure from the financial markets leads to decisions that do not serve the interests of players.
