Ubisoft's cancellations-and-closures announcement sparks major union backlash against CEO Yves Guillemot, and the inevitable call for a strike: 'Perhaps he needs to be reminded that it is his employees who make the games' | PC Gamer

Ubisoft's announcement of major internal restructuring, including numerous game cancellations, delays, studio closures, and layoffs, has sparked significant backlash from the French game industry union Solidaires Informatique. The union is calling for a half-day strike on January 22, citing the 'disastrous announcement' and demanding accountability from CEO Yves Guillemot. Solidaires Informatique emphasized the importance of employee contributions to game development and criticized the management's decisions as 'absurd.' Other strike actions are also being considered.
