Wow, pretty disgusting stuff. I suppose it isn't hugely surprising how sexist gaming companies are considering how sexist a large portion of many online games player bases are.


This is basically the same Argument as the one that really kickstarted Gamergate IMO.

How’d you connect those two? Devs do not equal their toxic player bases.


People working in game design choose to accept lower pay and worse working conditions than other industries offer for the same skills.

That makes no sense unless they're gamers themselves.


There’s probably a couple billion gamers and less than a hundred thousand game developers of which only an even smaller fraction have been accused of anything.

That’s a tiny, tiny fraction to use as the reason to assassinate the characters of everyone else.


I’ve been in Game dev for the better part of a decade and money has never been the driving factor in what positions I worked. I have ADHD and unable to work normal dev jobs (I’ve tried and I find them too boring). The game industry is a small world the ones that are intolerant quickly find out no one wants to work with them.
