#12This is a really badly written headline and should read "Three Ubisoft chiefs found guilty of sexual harassment and abuse". Read the article! This isn't boys being boys- it's actual abuse.
Only one of them was found guilty of sexual harassment. If you're going to pull out the read the article bit... you know...

Punching walls is a sign someone has anger issues.
