As reported by Gamasutra, Ubisoft also announced that Ubisoft vice president of editorial Tommy François was "placed on disciplinary leave pending the outcome of an investigation."

The full statement from Ubisoft to Gamasutra is as follows; Hi – I’m providing an update following the internal letter sent by Yves Guillemot yesterday, which outlined a series of initiatives aimed at improving the way in which Ubisoft operates. Maxime Beland, Vice President Editorial, has resigned from his role at Ubisoft, effective immediately.
