Just a false alarm. Happening is cancelled.

They were afraid of gunmen, so they went to an area with no escape route, and an area where people would be sure to be able to hear them talking and moving around.

Police have been dispatched in response to a possible hostage situation at the building housing the headquarters of video game developers Ubisoft Montreal, according to French-language Quebec news outlet Journal de Montréal.
Friday afternoon, Police cordoned off an area near the corner of Avenue Saint-Viateur and Saint-Laurent, in the Mile-End district near the studio. Early reports from TVA Nouvelles suggested at least a dozen people may have been taken hostage by multiple suspects, and the police are advising people to stay away from the area. Via Twitter, the police said they are evacuating the building and had not identified a threat.
An earlier post stated that there are no reported injuries.
Video footage from the scene showed a large number of people gathered on the building’s roof with what appeared to be barricades blocking doorways to the building. It is unclear if all of those people are Ubisoft employees, as there are multiple businesses housed in the building.
Ubisoft Product Marketing Manager Anouk Bachman, who works at the Montreal studio, reacted to the news on Twitter.
Ubisoft Montreal employees have been working remotely from home during the covid-19 pandemic, with some recently returning to the office on a voluntary basis.

So....over under that crunch time for some of the people still stuck in the office finally made someone lose their shit? Game dev hours and workload are bad enough that I can see it happening
Finally, someone is doing something about that awful last Far Cry game
No you go after management not the wagie peons.
That guy was probably real confused when game devs started running up shouting "TAKE ME TOO".
It's being reported as a hoax phone call now. Lame. So much disappoint.

So Sam Hyde was the correct answer?
Gamers rising up?
Probably has something to do with gamergate, somehow
The situation is pretty much over now. Here's the thread about it that was posted awhile ago.
The fire is rising. This could have been stopped if Trump tweeted about GamerGate.
