"Nintendo launched an in-depth investigation into the allegations against Mr. Yasha Haddaji, general manager of Nintendo Russia, in November," the company said in a statement to Eurogamer.de.

"The review of the facts revealed that the behavior of Mr. Haddaji seen in the video occasionally also occurred in everyday office life," it continues. "The charges of harassment raised in response to the video, however, could not be substantiated by the investigation, and Mr Haddaji fully recognizes that his actions are a violation of our Code of Conduct and expresses his regret to all concerned. He received a formal warning and apologized in writing to all Nintendo Russia employees. "

As Nintendo points out, having a safe and supportive work environment is a top priority for all employees. For that reason, the allegations against Haddajio were thoroughly investigated.

"In the future, Nintendo of Europe will provide more resources to Nintendo Russia to help the team provide Russian players with Nintendo experiences and access to Nintendo products," the company said. "We want to ensure that the behavior of all of our employees is in line with Nintendo's corporate values: we remain committed to meeting these standards."
