   A disgruntled Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Seige gamer who called in a fake   
   emergency to Ubisoft’s Montreal office was sentenced this week to three   
   years of community service, according to The Montreal Gazette. Yanni   
   Ouahioune, 22, was handed the sentence on Monday in Paris following his   
   call to authorities about a fake hostage situation in November 2020.   
      
   Police say Ouahioune called in the hoax because he was angry he had been   
   banned several times from Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege. In response to   
   the bogus call, a heavily armed squad of police officers surrounded the   
   building. The officers secured the headquarters — and closed several   
   nearby streets — before confirming there wasn’t an active threat.   
   Ouahioune allegedly called from his parents’ house using Russian servers   
   to mask his identity (unsuccessfully). After being charged, La Presse   
   reported (via Polygon) that Ouahioune pleaded for Ubisoft to unban his   
   account. “Can you say that I am kindly asking the Ubisoft team to ‘unban’   
   my account please,” Ouahioune said. “I have put over $1,500 in cosmetic   
   enhancements in my profile.”   
      
   The sentencing also includes Ouahioune’s alleged part in a DDoS attack   
   against a French government office and making threats against Minecraft   
   developers. The convicted hoaxer will reportedly be required to   
   “compensate victims, undergo treatment for a mental health problem and   
   either work or undergo training” in addition to the community service.   
      
   Magali Valence, Ubisoft director of external communication for Ubisoft   
   Montreal, told The Montreal Gazette in an email that it acknowledges the   
   court’s decision. “In this trial we were committed to representing the   
   interests of our employees who were affected by this false hostage-taking   
   alert at our Montreal studio. It was important for us to denounce this   
   violent and unacceptable incident. Out of respect for our employees who   
   were affected by this event, we will not comment further.”
