We do not and will not tolerate discrimination or abuse.\"\nThe global gaming industry has long been dogged by criticism over its treatment of women and minorities in both games and real life.\nLast year's allegations against Ubisoft saw managers in the company's Toronto and Montreal studios accused of sexual misconduct.\nSenior staff in Brazil, Bulgaria and the United States also faced accusations, with some of the alleged incidents going back years.\nEarlier this month, another gaming giant Activision Blizzard announced a management shakeup following employee protests and a California state lawsuit alleging the firm enabled toxic workplace conditions and discriminated against women.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"}],"hasMoreComments":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":7,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false}}
