There are no good gaming companies and good progressive gaming devs are being wasted on these companies that reap from the goodwill their devs cultivate while simultaneously treating them like garbage

After a while he had a little cohort of freaks that shared some of his sentiments.

Everyone was uncomfortable with this guy. Folks went to Swen and said "Hey, this guy is a weirdo fascist. He's making everyone uncomfortable. He's at odds with the team's values"

Swen's response? "He's invaluable to the team, it's too hard to replace him this close to release"

Naturally the vibes got worse. Hanging out at lunch now sucks because these guys might bring their bigotry, like complaining that Aragorn is black in the new MTG crossover set.

And there's a lot of minorities on the team. Yet, bigots abound in the studio. Swen is happy to profit off the cachet of making a "woke" game while letting bigots endanger minorities in his studio

My worst experience, as a trans woman, was shortly after coming out in work.

cw sexual harassment

One of the other office weirdos, and sexual harassment afficionado Felix Pedulla (current CDPR employee) walked past me in the office one day.

He makes a weird remark about my tits, and then to "confirm" something grabs my crotch in the middle of the office. No fear, no shame.

But why not report it? Well, the ship had sailed. We had unchecked fascists in the office, people taking the piss out of BG3's gender options, multiple cases of sexual harassment, and more.

More importantly, we were told that if someone is important enough they will not be dealt with.
