Ubisoft Staff Misconduct: Craig Robinson & Justin Kruger
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 07. 2024
- Over the last few months, many Ubisoft employees and external partners of the company have come forward with stories surrounding allegations of a toxic work culture and misconduct. At least 10 senior Ubisoft executives are reported to have already been let go and there are continuing internal investigations into serious complaints.
With this in mind, I feel that it is finally time for me to come forward about the way that I have been treated by two particular Ubisoft staff members from the Montreal based Community Development team.
Justin Kruger, completely drunk, acted aggressively and threateningly towards me at the Rainbow Six Invitational 2019 and Craig Robinson abused his position in order to harm my personal and professional reputation over a personal matter.
In this video, I detail both incidents, as well as other cases that I know both Craig and Justin have been involved in. Their misconduct encompasses not only external community members but also Ubisoft staff members and hopefully, my testimony will encourage others to speak out and share their stories too.

never have been a big fan of the higher-ups at Ubisoft and this just reinforces that
Omg I remember playing with you years ago haha and now you've got 160k subs wtf man good job
Hixcap it just sucks how Ubisoft’s employees act especially to someone like rouge-9 who is really nice about everything
Careful, they'll take away all your bamboo, ya little fatty 😘❤
Yup
I like Rogue and ubi looks to be a legitimately toxic culture. Having said that I have a problem with this video in that Rogue is presuming that just because HE didn't find anything he did to be unprofessional or harrassing doesn't mean SHE felt the same. People can have very very different feelings on the same situation. If she genuinely felt harassed or uncomfortable and reported it to her superiors then every single thing Craig/Ubi did is entirely justified. Even if Rogue doesn't feel the same.
It's also does not look like she was "stringing him along" even a little bit. It's very obvious that she was being nice while trying to avoid him.
I'm sorry that this happened as it seems to have taken a toll on you and I hope talking about it makes you feel better. But I just don't see the same story you are telling here. 🙏
WTF is going on with some of Ubisoft's top people?
Every higher up in any company is a scum bag. Rich people with no one to keep them in check always act this way.
@@daddykratos6022 not all the time.
@@Wolvenworks There are exceptions to every rule.. I'd give it a solid 65% are pieces of shit, having had to deal with C Suites of a few different companies.
The simplest explanation is, you give people power who are otherwise not use to having power or cannot handle power, and it goes to their head and corrupts them. You see it at all levels of management where there are ill suited people in charge of others and they get an ego and start thinking they can just shit all over everyone else below them. Power corrupts.
@@Padlock_Steve I get that but, having a very dry humor myself, the majority of the c suite members I've dealt with are shitty people. Extremely disconnected from any reality beside money.
Dude, what a crazy series of events. I appreciate you sharing. I really hope changes are made with how the R6 team interacts with creators. I'm interested to see if any changes are made that really make a difference. From it's core, the game feels rotten to me. As terrible as it sounds like it is over there, it sounds like an opportunity for Ubisoft to bring new life to the community and creators through new staff. Hope all goes well with your future content man!
What makes you feel like it is rotten at its core? Have you has bad experiences with the staff?
John Doe short answer: yes
Basically Homeless Ive seen the video where they invited you out and then realized what your plans for the video were and cancelled everything without doing any previous diligence. But im guessing there is more than that?
Flanked made a video regarding the hot breach podcast break up. Ubi been bamboozling us all
@@JohnDoe-hq1ty He was unjustifiably banned from his R6 account lmao
You know it's real when the first 7 comments are verified siege tubers
Top 10 are all verified content creators for the game. Shit has officially hit the fan.
Does your account name say “Beijing Standard Time”?
Very brave to make this man, major respect
Love you serenity
Serenity i love u come back
Do you still play r6?
Come back to uploading siege pls
Nice to see you in the comments, hope you’re doing okay.
That's actually messed up man, im sorry to hear about that
Love you bozon 🌈🌈
It's genuinely awesome and heartwarming that even you are here Bozon.
Uploaf
but on the real tip, when's the next BB video coming out? You're like a bad drug dealer that offers a taste and then tells the customer "lol see you in a couple of months" I NEED MORE GOD DAMN IT
@@therealteal620 Next one should be the Doc video. Keep your eyes peeled in a moderate amount of time ;) It'll come out eventually, he just likes to take his time to give it that extra Bozon flair.
Craig: I'm about to end this man's whole career
*1 year later*
Rogue: *slowly pulls out an Uno reverse card*
Hahahaha yeah
Meme crossover
more like the 5 pieces of exodia
"what are you gonna do now big boy, the duels over"
so this is what they were doing instead of fixing the games
Game is keep getting shitty every patch. Devs have to get changed.
@@caesarsspirit ubisoft has to change lmao not the devs all of them have to change
Ubisoft community manager : We got this Rogue 9 guy on youtube, he makes unbelivably well researched content on our games, brought countless people to play it and created a untoxic community around his channel
Ubisoft middle management : Understood, lets get rid of him
Wait I haven’t finished the video yet so what do you mean they’re trying to get rid of him?
Edit: holy fuck that’s messed up
They literally tried to get rid of him
@@WellCookedPotatoes watch the video and then comment?
@@alessandrobonilauri193 not only tried this sounds like he is blacklisted, him complaining wont change that we are very lucky he did
"Roger that, ready the cock and ball torture pit and get tbe drugs ready."
Major Respect bro. Sorry you had this experience.
Love you
Don't you think that guy who tried to romantice the staff member is a fcking pathethic simp? Like the response message where he tells that he actually likes her.. why? Thats such a simp behavior, hoping to get that girl by being a nice guy instead of just seeing that she has no interest and forget that all, no that simp has to tell her his feelings and how hurt he is that she rejected him. What a loser
@BIGGIE I had 4 girlfriend over my youth and am with a wonderful polish girl that I'm in a super lovably relationship since a year.
I have experience with girls and how to romantice them so that guy's behavior was pure cringe to me. He is a nice guy that is "hurt" because of a rejection, forgetting that he is not there to romantice ubisofts staff and the fact that he has to tell her how hurt he is over her rejection makes him such a loser..
@@-Timur1214 gotta love going along with the societal trend that being nice to a girl is lame. You've got to be joking man. Have some maturity please.
@@-Timur1214 man's is unironically using the word simp
This actually also explains the absolute state of the Rainbow 6 Discord server being ran as badly as it is. Craig and Justin are some of the big influencers on how the moderation there runs. People have already left the moderation team there because they didn't like what was going on behind the scenes and it's still as bad as it was 3 years ago. Ubisoft really needs to check every community leader they have. Even the horrible R6 Discord mods
Edit: This ALSO explains why some of the admins of the discord server who don't even interact with their members were randomly put in the creator's cup. This is just stupid favoritism
I got banned on that discord server because I sent a meme that showed a kid drinking water being equivalent to refueling farm equipment
Dude every official discord is like that
@@offtopic.writer8281 tru, but there was another dude in the meme channel that had a meme that was making fun of black people as a joke and all he got as a punishment was his message deleted lol
I was talking about qfrica, said niger, and got banned. with context.
Yeah, I made a joke about IQ being thicc and got muted for 72 hours back in 2017? The mods said "oh things are changing, we're learning to be more fair with out moderation". Long story short, I got banned later for calling them out at the time
So basically the R6 community IRL
Craig --> WeirdChamp
yep
Craig -----> simp
Craig --> loser
Today I found out there are 3 100k+ sub channels with the same name
Call pizza
I gotta say, Rogue-9 isn’t just smart with numbers and persistent with his calculations, he will outsmart your outsmarting.
Intelligence 100
r/unexpectedjojo
“You may have outsmarted me, but I outsmarted your outsmarting!”
Master Craft123 Craig’s first mistake was fucking around with someone who is clearly 10x smarter than you
He’s an extremely logical person, and I adore that about him.
One of my oldest friends heard from my ex that I sexually assaulted her. This was a complete lie, but he instantly cut all ties to me, blocked me on everything and refused to talk to me for over a year. My current gf also ended up hearing about it (almost a year after it happened) before we got together but she actually talked to me about it and I explained the situation. My friend only started talking to me again once one of his friends dated her and also got accused of sexual assault and he realised that maybe she’s not all that trustworthy.
I think the behaviour of that employee you talked to was absolutely vile. You could almost forgive her for playing with your heart like that if she truly had a lot going on and was just doing it by accident, but when she made the accusation it just confirms to me that she was being malicious. Some people are just so fucked in the head they think it’s okay to do that to people.
damn, I'd cut that friend out. No loyalty when you actually need it.
I agree with @Vicious.
“Ubisoft stands for equality and respect for all”
So that’s why they removed Vote To Kick
Fucking neckbeard pedos at ubisoft got bullied by 12 year olds and removed votekick. damn
This is a weird point to bring up. Probably like 99/100 times I saw somebody kicked going back to the very start of the game was from 4 people being assholes (3 when the game came out) and bullying the 5th person, especially now that people can actually be punished for teamkilling compared to years ago when you can just go smoke, gas the hostage, leave, and face no penalty. Or pick cav and down your whole team and, again, leave.
I have a feeling that Craig Robinson has huge problems with himself.
He's still jealous Rogue9 achieved what he could never, getting in those dm's
Imagine being so petty as to lash out at others to avoid dealing with yourself.
@@TrumpyPumpyPants The way he went so hard against Rogue really makes it look like pure jealousy.
High school kids behaviour...
We don't even know if he's the part of the same species as us.
The guy from “The Office”?
So this is why the Hot Breach Podcast was discontinued after the Barcelona episode, wasn't it?
Ffs, this is sad. Now I get why Flanked and Pete acted as if Rogue9 was blacklisted or something. The situation always struck me as weird, but I never expected this. I hope the both of them will voice their support for you, if nothing else.
What a shame.
Edit: I'm not trying to attack or scold Get_Flanked or Prodigio Pete for their actions, or more precisely, inactions. All I want to say is, that I hope that this whole thing will be able to be resolved in the future, in a civil and polite manner.
Third edit: I removed the link to Get Flanked's response video, since Rogue's follow up video has outlined how it is filled with false information.
This. unless there is more to the story that Rogue isn't saying its pretty clear cut, he has the dm proof.
Ill be pretty sad if Flanked doesn't say something publicly about it, he and Zironic have a decent sized platform now and could help him.
I was always confused as to why the hot breach podcast just ended and there were no more videos with flanked
If this is true flank and Pete are pretty scummy
I’m gonna wait to watch the vid, I like flanked a lot and hopefully he didn’t do anything scummy
@@FallenExify they just distanced themselves from Rogue, but given that Siege is their main source of income and their relationship with Ubisoft was still positive, they didn't really have a choice. I wish that they may have taken some sort of action against this injustice, but I don't see what they could've done to resolve this.
Damm the worst part is flanked didnt even defend you. Ive lost respect for him now because he values money over friends. Smh
its pretty rough they noticed that his behavior changed and they didnt even hesitate to brush it off and they turned their backs on him because they wanted to keep good relations with boobysoft
Was a dick move, although I can understand it because he's a father
Nah he didnt defend because it wouldn't solve the problem and they would blacklist him too
@@zhyarjalal1088 yeah. That's doing it over money, dude. Like, by definiton. Dude didnt defend his FRIEND because he didnt want to be hit with the same problems, the same punishment for doing nothing, that his friend did. That's a cowardly response. Saved his own ass by letting his friend drown.
@@AverageJ03Gaming dude, Flanked is a dad. If he was blacklisted to. Flanked would lose everything he worked so hard for. Flanked has a family and he does youtube, twitch, and anything that corresponds with R6 FULL time. The way I see it. If Flanked were to help his friend, he would've lost everything. And he would have to give up on R6. Think about it. Corros will never be invited to any R6 event ever again, the Ubisoft employee's will slander his name, Ubisoft will never promote him financially, and at this point, Corros is basically just a glorified siege player. I hate to say it but it's the truth. Flanked did what he did, yea, on a loyalty level. He fucked up. But he wasn't going to drown with his friend and let his family pay the price. And family always comes 1st. So I agree with Flanked. If Corros wants to go to war with Ubisoft. Then that's on him. Flanked is playing it smart. So stfu
The messages that were shown
It was obvious she lost interest, but she didn't have the guts to outright say it, so yeah, she strung you along, hopefully this will help you in the future
If you're typing out paragraphs and theyre typing out a couple sentences, they aren't invested in the conversation
You should have picked up on that, BUT she can't expect you to pick up on these signs, especially through text where emotion is already near impossible to convey
She can't claim "harassment" when she said multiple times that she wasn't bothered by you reaching out to her and talking
But for future reference Rogue, if you feel the need to say "sorry am I bothering you" nearly every time you're talking to someone, you might be bothering them
You didnt harrass, you were a bit clingy because you had been talking to someone for months and they all of a sudden completely lose interest, so you want to try and salvage that, its a natural reaction, I've done it before, I have made those "long winded, whiny" texts and made an ass of myself, but never with someone I worked with and I never had higher ups trying to burn down my image for it
Sorry you're going through this, talk to a lawyer (haven't finished the video yet, maybe you already are) make sure you are covered legally, and sue these fucks
Hopefully Pete and Flanked will see this, and, if everything you're saying is true, then maybe there is still a possibility for a working relationship with them, I really miss the podcast, its not the same without you!
you need more likes sir
Flanked just saved his own ass and is a dog for ubi. With this he'll prob come crawling back.
That is so true. Most of the time girls won’t straight out say they aren’t interested when they know said person is trying to be more than friends. Out of politeness they’ll let it drag out without saying anything. In all honesty they should just shut it down straight away to save themselves the drama and the guy / girl the heart break
@@yizhu7709 I mean, if all he had to go on is "cut ties with rogue or be blacklisted" can you really blame him, that's my perspective at least
How bout you come see me and see who can make the bigger ass of themselves
So we basically need a ubisoft rework
Yup Y4 S4 pls
With old ops getting acog
EXACTLY
Lmao perfect
oPeRaTiOn HeAlTh
Ubisoft needs an operation health
that shit made me cry. here is your like😂
They need to fix siege and their team
“Please ensure future communications with content creator Rougue 9 are forwarded to Karen”
Of course a Karen is involved
xd
I was thinking the same exact thing.
The fact he had to expose his personal interactions to defend/justify himself is so unfair. Mad respect for you Rogue.
The fact that this split you up from Get Flanked and Prodigio Pete and that you call them your closest friends in the R6 community breaks my heart. We never learned why the Hot Breach Podcast came to an end, but this is just sad.
They could never get their timetables to match up
@@drakeconsumerofsoulsandche4303 have you even watched the video?
@@sndpklr yes I did
@@drakeconsumerofsoulsandche4303 so how can you even remotely believe that it was because of their schedules that they had to end the podcast? rogue9 EXPLICITLY says he had to stop working with them for them to continue to do work with Ubisoft they way they still do now. Come on man, this is like the most obvious thing ever.
@@drakeconsumerofsoulsandche4303 you are ACTUALLY fucking dumb
This is a huge shame. Justin and Epi were two of the most loved developers by the community, thank you for revealing the truth behind their behaviour though, it is really important.
They weren’t devs they were community managers.
@@Kuricapitalist yeah devs were changed a long time ago
King of Doors well the title is community developer, I know they’re not actually involved with creating the game itself
*Were*
Craig and Ubisoft simply cannot have been so stupid to have made that first email.
I refuse to believe any human is moronic enough to literally send an email TO EVERY EMPLOYEE basically admitting that they're hiding something and to tell specific people immediately if you contact them because you'd be trying to plead your case. Not even BLIZZARD is this incompetent and they did the "Do you guys not have phones?" thing publicly in the middle of Blizzcon.
"Ubisoft has been banned for Toxic Behavior"
Really brave to stand up and speak out like that. All the best for your future!
Sua is it relly you? Dude big fan
Sua, 110%
Those 2 Employees who risked their jobs to give a small testimony about Rogue-9 doing nothing wrong are the real heroes. if you are reading this(The ones who testified).....Man you got some serious courage and "We All" really appreciate this. Thank You!!
Yeah, this statement wouldn't have been possible had it not been for them!
@@svetthesaiyan True!
Kya hogaya hai? Mereko batao thoda
You know it's gonna be serious when he doesn't start off with "What's up guys, Rogue-9 here."
Stay strong.
The fact that you took all that with professionalism to not escalate and made things messier for other victims involved is heart warming.
The most professional and level headed CZcamsr I know of, no clue why anyone thought they could win an argument against this man
ben shapiro been real quiet lately
@@pickle7765 What a legendary face off that would be
There wasn't an attempt at an argument, just libel.
Bruh your name
Honestly wish I could sort things as calm and professional as rouge-9
Rouge-9 is the most intellectual gamer i have ever seen.
He is definitely a good representative for the community, and with this type of situation his professional behavior is so needed.
He definitely had some great parents, thats for sure.
Its an incredibly useful and difficult skill to have.
He was very smart in how he took care of it. He took a year to put everything together and waited until he was level headed to talk about the topic. That's the difference between a professional and someone who doesn't know what they're doing.
Good example of “respect the work, not the people”
Same quote from a TV series "Band of Brothers" : You don't salute the man, you salute the Rank.
Rogue: Craig is targeting me because of a personal incident, I won't mention what it is
Flanked: eyy lemme just spill the tea rq
Idk how this dude thought putting that video out was a good idea..
I'm truly losing respect for that guy.
what video and can someone give me some context and the link? thanks in advance
@@acid1787 I'm just assuming, but my guess is its "The real reason the Hot Breach podcast ended" on Get_Flanked Bravo. Haven't seen the video, but it's my guess.
I don't know if Get Flanked's video necessarily shuts down Rogue's points, but it definitely shines a new light on both the screenshots and Rogue's status as a somewhat unreliable narrator.
@@bophadesknutz7798 thank you just saw it, it all makes sense. Also get glanked is a fucking snake. Trying to save his ass throughout the whole video
“Mediocre CZcams guy”
No no you’re too modest. Absolute legend of a CZcams
"What one sees on the outside is not what's present on the inside."
"What a community sees on the outside is not what may always be present on the inside."
Which is why I always find it distasteful that everyone seems to care more about the product rather than who made the product and what occured during its creation.
Belly of the Beast
siege community is toxic on the outside tho so is the same on the inside
A tale as old as time;
Narcissist acts selfishly, hurting the feelings of an understanding and patient person.
Narcissist gets offended when their own behaviour is even *slightly* criticized.
Narcissist then proceeds to use lies, manipulation, and rumour-milling to defame or otherwise damage the person so that the narcissist looks like the victim (and in this case, has other people jump to their defense).
Once you recognize that this type of person is more common than you would ever want to believe, it becomes easier to avoid them and spot the excuses they always use for their absolute shit behaviour.
I'm sorry you got hit by one of these people, and I admire your dedication to the truth; whether it be shedding light on toxic behaviour, or figure out what the fuck the "mobility" stat means.
Funny, they really messed with the wrong guy here
Firstly, Rogue9 is CLEARLY not the type of guy to do anything like this. But more than that...
Rogue9 is literally the guy finding mechanics in the game that aren't public, through involved testing... letting the community know how things are really working.
at what point did you think R9 was NOT going to meticulously break down your bullshit with evidence and a rigorous logic?
yea he got them good if they did not do what the did they probably would not have gotten exposed if you think different tell me, please.
Please don't say that. I can agree on some of these but please don't say "clearly". We don't know his personality, just his internet persona. If you were a close friend of his, that'd be understandable but right now im under the impression youre just a fan of his. Just because he's humble and has manners in his videos, doesn't mean he couldn't be an asshole behind camera. Just take a look at Fedmyster.
@@blank7137 hey, if it helps you get a better understanding take a look at rogue's latest video breaking down the allegations and stuff. it would seem the op was right.

"Our staff systematically abused women in the workplace and we ignored it and allowed it but now that we've been called out... we're donating money to help women and people of color" WHAT??? That doesn't make any sense.
Pathetic woke points.
Thanks for bringing light to this situation, I haven't heard anything about this prior. I genuinely hope you get cleared and back on board with a new set of devs to work with
Even the game's staff are toxic and unreliable, what a shame, glad they are gone
11:18
“...just to harm some mediocre youtuber on the internet”
See the first problem is thinking Rogue-9 is mediocre
Mistake number 1. THE BIGGEST OF ALL OF THEM.
THIS!!!!
Exactly.
Rogue-9: “If it’s worth doing, it’s worth over-doing, so here’s the nitty gritty details on why Ubisoft has fucked me over”
Ex-fucking-actly
Such an interesting listen, It doesn't surprise me at all that something like this happened. Both of them "leaving" the Rainbow six project always shocked me and this video basically gives the answer I was looking for.
Ubisoft used the old shuffle-people-around solution.
Rebecon they have a well-practiced playbook when it comes to this stuff. Ubisoft is run by garbage people.
It’s so sad to see how toxic these big companies continue to be. There is no excuse to have people working in a company this large be so unprofessional to a point of ruining someone just trying to make living makes me sick because I’ve seen this on a scale that is smaller as a company but just as large when it comes to livelihoods, how people get in this positions is beyond me but as a whole we need to crack down and make sure a business is ran with only one thing in mind “business” no personal agendas. Glad you spoke out.
Huge props to you for having the courage that many others lack to tell your story and put forward a claim with the necessary evidence to show the facts about the terrible actions that these Ubisoft employees have put you through. As content creators you guys help sale and market the game for these companies and this is the type of treatment y'all get, it honestly makes me sick to my stomach and I hope more people can learn from you and step forward with their stories so that a spotlight can be placed on the issues that not only plague this company but also many others. From everything here I think you were in no way harassing or disrespecting anyone. We all have feelings and unfortunately some people forget and choose to be hurtful towards others. Its also sad to see that getflanked and Pete didn't have your back, as friends and fellow content creator's the right thing to do wouldve been to stand with you...instead they chose what was in their best interest and that is not only cowardly but dishonest and shows the type of individuals they are and what they stand for...which obviously isn't anything but themselves. Keep working hard, making amazing videos and moving forward, we'll all be here to lend our love and support ✊
Now I know why Bikinibodhi threw the whole Invitational Creator cup match
I'm out of the loop what happened?
@@diego7399 Rogue said epi matchfixed the creators cup match
Respect to him, at least he hasn't sold his soul.
@@NinjaShadow47 wym? Sorry I don't watch pl and such.
Matchfixing is basically getting people to throw a match, usually for monetary gain.
34:40 This is facts. GodlyNoob has a very good view count on twitch and CZcams and has yet receive a charm.
This is 100% because of how critical he is of siege on Twitter.
yup (even though he's kind off toxic sometimes and just ouright insults the devs)
I mean he is openly hostile to them in a way rogue has never even been close to. It's not the same thing. The truth is godly noob is just a toxic sexist (check his twitter) asshole who blasted an asshole at Ubi, got blacklisted by that asshole, no good guys in that situation. Rogue seems a genuinely good guy.
He maybe toxic about the game a bit becuz he cares about the game!
Love your vids bro
REZA SI if you really do care about something you shouldn’t be toxic towards it, leads to bad stuff
I know there have been thousands of comments as of my writing of this, and it may get buried in the endless stream, but I’d like to add to the wave of support for you. Rogue-9, you have been an outstanding content creator, a wonderful teacher for the math behind my favorite game. You did absolutely nothing to deserve being put in such a terrible situation. I’m not all that familiar with all of the Ubisoft Staff toxicity, but this was very helpful in understanding the situation, and I’m very proud of you for being able to speak out on this matter. I know it doesn’t mean much to hear this from some dude typing a paragraph in a CZcams comment section, but I wanted to let you know that it takes a strong man to talk about this type of story in such an organized, calm, and objective matter. Thank you for putting your story out there, and I hope that this will all result in a good ending. Good luck going forward with siege, or with trying whatever else you decide to do with your time.
Dude this community has so much love for you and I can safely say that many of us support you all the way. You're the first Siege creator that took analytics into their own hands and broke down weapon statistics and updates beyond the DevNotes to show players how the game really worked. Beyond that, you were one of the first Siege Academy videos that Ubisoft posted on the Uplay launcher and I was very proud (though unsurprised) to see you featured. You bring the hard facts and you do it very gracefully with an aura of levity and knowledge. I can't express how important you are to the Siege community and its very unfortunate that you've experienced any of this or had to make this video, but we appreciate it and we appreciate YOU. You invigorate the community and have even convinced me to return to the game when I took a break from Siege simply based on the intriguing or new information you have about new features. Without you, myself and many others might have left Siege and never returned. Ubisoft owes you a debt that can't be repaid and this whole situation seems entirely unfair. I really am hoping for your triumphant return back into the grace of Ubisoft as a company, but more than that I hope you get to see some kind of justice from all of this. I know life is rarely fair or just but for the health of Ubisoft's own community, and the sake of decency and honesty, I hope this is rectified in some way. We love ya Rogue, and we stand behind you! Don't feel discouraged and keep fighting the good fight, not just for yourself but for the people victimized too scared to come forward. I wish you the best!
Haven't seen the full video yet, but this is a shame to hear. Justin and Craig were both huge members of the community for a long time, and it's a shame that they've been acting so aggressively behind the scenes. I'll finish watching before making any final judgements, but I do thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Am I the only person actually reading the conversation between rogue and this chick? If you just read the messages and look at the time stamps, rogue was pretty rude to this chick and kept asking her if they were cool just because she didn't want to play siege with him...
These aren't the full messages but everything he's shown so far doesn't implicate really anything other than rogue being really weird and awkward with this chick when she never outwardly expressed anything other than being friendly to him and he took it as "leading him on."
Then he goes on about how he has proof this dude's an ass yet doesn't reveal anything other than a group email reminding employees to be wary when talking to the community privately as things can get weird which is 100% true as we've seen.
That doesn't "prove she was in the wrong" just shows that things get weird when employee/community member relations get weird when it gets personal.
Obviously this dude blacklisting him for harassment or whatever is also completely unproven on both sides so it's up in the air but specifically with the employee rogue was talking to, if anything rogue looked like he was the one in the wrong there
@@AvocadoBondage After reading the messages I feel that R9 was too clingy to this woman till the point that things became weird, but Ubi blacklisting him for sexual harassment sounds too serious for this case, after all, if personal things didn't work, they should have stayed professional and carry on their work. Especially in the sensitive situations nowadays, those accusations can be lethal, literally.
Delirious
1. When was Rogue rude in any of the messages.
2. When she says “I’ll play when I’m free” and then plays without Rogue, I think it’s pretty reasonable that Rogue thought he did something wrong and politely asked her. If someone told me that they would do something with me when they were free and then proceeded to ignore me while I saw they were free, I’d be pretty confused too. Maybe he isn’t the best smooth talker but in no way was he rude. He was just being honest. I’m defo not saying she was completely in the wrong but you can’t blame Rogue here
3. With the many claims he brings up of Ubi staff being toxic towards other ppl including Rogue, it’s not hard to assume at least some of these are true.
MrChazza if anything R9 was being too humble and careful and polite. This is not what women expect from men.
@@AvocadoBondage I don't think Rogue was rude but he did seem a bit clingy. He definitely kept the interaction going a couple of times when the conversation could have ended.
This is really disappointing. Really disappointed in Ubisoft. I'm sorry you had to go through this ordeal Rogue.
Not S3xXxBomb yes I agree macie jay is taking side with the devs
@@rominnoodles wth macie?!
@@varun_j yeah he says he is not but it seems like it in the comments look
Fucking ubisoft. I never despised them until now and every employee should be fired at least. *OR BURNED IN HOLY FIRE IS MY PREFERENCE*
So much respect for you making this and mad respect for GetFlanked and Pete for putting their support out there. It will only look worse for Ubisoft now if anything happens to those guys too
uff I feel really sorry for you for having to go through this. Don't give up and respect for sharing this with us.
Ubisoft: harasses their employees
Rogue: Doesn’t harass their employees
Ubisoft: „How dare you harass our employees?“
Damn this took a lot of courage to put out there hope the message gets spread
Well said and brave of you to put it in the open.
I hope there will be made a big case against to those responsible for this misbehaviour and misuse of their power of the position they have.
Thank you for speaking so bravely and candidly with us Rogue, I'm sure it takes a lot out of you to bring all this up again like you mentioned. Hope you're doing okay, and hopefully this starts to bring some much needed change.
A 40 minute video is when you know its serious
People have been asking about the Hot Breach Podcast all the time, and here it is. But unfortunately it's even worse... Really sad to hear all his.
Thank you for sharing this.
Good for you to have come out with this. Hopefully that kind of criminal behavior doesn't go unpunished. That's disgusting. Then again, disgusting is the adjective that comes to mind when looking at those photos of these individuals. You can see there is something wrong with them, something evil.
Ngl, I feel like they should hire some people from the testing team, they're pretty nice from what I've met.
Promotion from within to leadership positions is rarer than it should be frankly. Management is a different skillset to be sure, but experience and familiarity with the team and their roles helps too, rather than bringing an outsider just because they've been a producer or exec elsewhere.
Fancy seeing you here
@@A-N-X-I-E-T-Y why yes
This is not a call to action, but I will definitely be thinking of this when the next batch of Ubisoft games are released...
x2
this honestly make me feel partially ashamed for buying so many Ubi games, I know this isn’t the entire company but still.
So quite soon.
Kilo I mean the developers shouldn't be punished for other members of the company
Its not ubi so much as ubi montreal that is the problem. I think the funny part is that the most scummy team in the lineup is the one developing the closest thing to a bro shooter. Not trashing on the devs generally. It becomes obvious when you start listening to and seeing the types of people that keep showing up to this games development. They became more bro ish. More of that guy in high school that picks on kids for playing games because they play the "dumb" games. I've seen the type. It's what they are.
Damn dude I remember like three years ago when epi was like a hero to the rainbow 6 subreddit. Looking back on it now he probably just liked the ego stroking people were giving him. Sorry for your experience man, thanks for making this vid.
I'm glad you made this video, nobody should be afraid to speak up against companies.
This is sad.
As a content creator who was bullied by Ubisoft, where they threatened to take down my channel unless I deleted all ubisoft games off it. Their company doesn't just do these types of things to employees.
I would like to hear your story
@@kashitymerchant928 me too
I’d like to see some links
I respect you so much for trying your best to keep the situation professional. I’m so sorry you had/have to go through this situation. Stay strong and I wish the best for you. I’ll always support your content. Best wishes
I'm truly sorry to know what had happened to you.
As a person who also had experienced manipulation in personal affairs, I truly respect you for having big courage to send the long message in hope of cleraing things out.
as someone that had to deal with way too many alcoholics while growing up: you didnt do anything wrong. their emotional reaction to anything is sometimes completely random and irrational. you couldve said nothing and he wouldve been harsh to you just because he chose to be at that moment.
Yeah, pretty much
Wait what?
only to Rogue tho?
At the end of the day it doesn’t excuse that behavior in a public/workplace setting. Yea sure it was a party and yea sure there was alcohol. But if you know you act like that and can’t hold your alcohol you shouldn’t be drinking to get drunk in a place like that in my opinion.
@@jarred4005 Well you shouldn't be drunk in a workplace
It makes a bit of sense to what happened to the hot breach podcast :(
This is what I was thinking too :(
Pokey Lo it abruptly stopped with no explanation
@Pokey Lo to keep it simple, they wanted to get Ubisoft employees one their podcast but couldn't as long as Rouge 9 was there so they were forced to kick him off.
Flanked and Pete had dollar signs in their eyes. That's what happened.
Excited to see you making videos again. I hope there's some justice that comes out of this.
15:30 this so messed up its unreal. Honestly happy that you hard the courage to come forward. Cause I know I wouldn't open up like that to the public.
Rogue 9: "I'm about to end this man's whole career."
Literally
attano27 What happened in a shortened version?
@@iabusenader2897 Physical/ vocal threats, abuse of power, matchfixing, defamation of character, forcing all of ubisoft to cut ties with R9, honestly, just watch the vid
Big ups to Rouge 9 for keeping the receipts
Sorry to hear this Rogue, you have always been one of my favorite content creators, and I hope you are able to get everything cleared up.
respect for putting yourself up and dare to show those personal messages out, most people won't have the courage.
Now I understand why Ubisoft so toxic with TheGodlyNoob. I bet it's cuz of Craig or Justin... No wonder why noob don't get his twitch charm, even though he met the terms to get one...
Disgusting...
They even took his dev skin away...
Petty doesn't describe it, disgusting is right.
They also allegedly spread rumours about noob getting fired from his job at ubi as a bug tester because he was ''trash at his job'' which is not true at all. This had big consequences with relations between people working with Ubi and noob (content creators and ubi employees). No one wanted to tell noob either. It was bothering noob so much he went and asked his old boss if he was fired to which his boss anwsered no....
@@Serenity17 I f*cking knew it, even though he never talked about it upfront about what happened, you could sense something was so fishy when a former R6 dev, is ACTUALLY still finding all the bugs, reports them, and they shit on him and the whole community. How can you be "trash at his job" if he still finds bugs and shows them daily?
The dev skin removal and not giving the charm was a clear sign they are against noob purposely!
Flipping Eck these R6 developers sound like a right old bunch of wankers. Behaving like fast food restaurant managers on a power trip.
@@baronvongreenback I remember that and thought, what's the one point? Why take it away from him when it causes no harm. Just a dick move.
I'm in complete shock
Thank you for sharing this
Not only does this help you but it helps us all as a community. Thanks bro
So you’re telling me that all this time the Hot Breach Podcast was cancelled all because of a misunderstanding that lead to a series of false allegations? That’s so messed up what the hell
It wasn’t even a misunderstanding the hoe cried because she didn’t have the backbone to say no
Yaboi Jacrusty lmao she should lose her job and never get to have another one
Love you VERY much for this. Thank you sir.
I really really respect you for being this upfront and transparent with everyone, it really takes a lot of courage. Thank You for caring about the greater good.
I love your content, I love your personality and simply cannot imagine you doing something so bad. I hope you get through this without much further trouble and get back on track with life! This incident is something that I have also faced (not literally but a similar one) and it really is a shit show when everyone but you know that your name is in the clear.
Its not sad that they could do that, its sad that they could do this for so long and they arent the only ones
I hope they actually try and improve instead of sweeping the bad press away with diversity hires
Lol diversity hires are stupid
Well, in Yves Guillemot's speech he said he fully supports the Black Lives Matter movement. So i wouldn't get your hopes up.
You must be new here
lmao craig n justin were 2 cis white het dudes who were hired for their ability and skills
weird how it isnt the diversity hires who're doing this sort of power abuse shit
@@punkypink83 And... What exactly does that have to do with a company deflecting criticism by hiring minorities?
I'm sure this will be missed in the 1000 plus comment but I hope not. I applaud you in the way you've handled the situation but one thing I would say in regards to the DMs, stuff like "I'll stop if you want me to stop" (something along those lines) can be quite manipulative in the sense that it puts the pressure on the other person. Truthfully thinking it was 50/50 in terms of blame though, it was more personal than work.
Also... as a wise man once told me don't shit where you work. This all got way too personal.
It rlly did get very personal. As my dad used to tell me "never work with family or friends" and its the very best thing I couldve learned when young.
At the end of the day the situation shouldve been kept internal to the girl and Rogue. It was just normal human miscommunication. Rogue should polish his social and flirting abilities to be less clingy and the girl should build the balls to strike people out of her dms when she isnt interested and she shouldnt outright call out false harrassment accusations.
this is really messed up...glad you came out with this
This is why you don't target an intelligent person. Rogue9 explained all the harrasement against him better than a lot of people could do, some people might have had worse things happen to them but they propably won't be able to explain it in such detail and with clear proof. That is why this video is more important than people might think, having exposed something that a ubi employee tried to cover up is proof of how sneaky they can be and shows how difficult it is to get your story out there and be believed.
Imagine Craig Robinson manipulating a whole group of staff to cover up something as sexual assault, you would just be seen as the weird excommunicado nobody will talk or listen to.
How have i never heard of this?
That's what happens when you give too much power to nasty people, the people without power will never open up.
Money
@@TheGodlyNoob well spoken👏
TheGodlyNoob facts. People who are like this deserve to be put in jail instead of being fired.
It's sad how power opens up people and the opposite.
Dude thank you for staying so professional and still respectful but firm, it shows who’s really guilty already, I love you bro keep killing it🤟🏻
Dude thx for bringing this topic up
the chick defemates you and then gets their friend to blacklist you, that's just damn dirty.
Sounds about right though. He didn’t put on the collar and get dragged through the mud for some girl with an ego complex, so he must be the bad guy.
i can’t blame the chick for any of this, should she have kept the topics of conversation with Rogue private? Yes. However none of us know her and judging from what rogue has shown in this video she could have had personal matters that were affecting her mental health. So you can’t blame her for reaching out to what is a close work colleague in Justin and seeking help. The fault has to lie with Justin as he abused his position of power and laid false claims about rogue and defamed his reputation
@xIvDanny, you can’t blame her for any of this?
For instigating flirtatious relationships with multiple men to manipulate their emotions? For leading on Rouge for months and then ignoring him at the drop of a hat, toying with his emotions? Then out of spite that Rouge didn’t want to be her play thing, telling defamatory lies to her colleagues to manipulate them into smearing and tarnishing his reputation? You can’t blame her for any of that, really?
She’s not an innocent bystander who is just so helpless and gee golly she sure didn’t know this would happen. No. She knew what she was doing. She knew that she could say and get whatever she wants because she’s manipulated in the past and will continue to manipulate. That’s not ok, and shouldn’t be ignored nor celebrated. Using people regardless of the sex is wrong. Men have feelings too. They aren’t just play things that she can just toy with and use, then throw away when she’s had her fill. Shit like this is why male suicide rates are sky high. Because not only are men told to sit down and shut up when it comes to their emotions, they are expected to just take being manipulated by those they think care because to not do so instantly gets you punished based on nothing but lies! Just like rouge and many others.
So don’t you dare say she did nothing wrong. Everyone involved with this situation did something wrong. Whether it’s The Ubisoft employees, the girl in question, or Rouge himself. Everyone made some sort of lapse in judgment at some point during this ordeal.
And finally because this affects me personally and I take personal offense to this, don’t try and use mental health issues as an excuse to hurt others. If she is indeed suffering from mental issues such as depression, that in no way means it’s ok for her to mentally abuse the men in her life. It does not make it ok. It does not make it justifiable.
@@ryanbolson23 i have never agreed with someone more in my entire life. And this also personally hits me in the heart because i also suffered from a manipulative girl in my life
@@ryanbolson23 exactly!!
Me while drunk : "curl up somewhere and cry for no reason"

When r u coming back
Big fan of your stuff jesus
This is so sad. Hope everything turns out well for you, Rogue9
Thank you so much for sharing this and being so incredibly ellaborate. I sincerely miss your content and presence in the R6 community. Additionally, you did a great job discussing this situation in a professional way.
For a profession(atm), I do research in a lab. So to have someone merge two things I love Science/Research/Data Analysis with R6 Siege is something I truly miss.
