Among the people we spoke to, three women described being groomed for promotions, and doing jobs above their title and pay grade, until men were suddenly brought in to replace them. Both male and female sources have described seeing unsolicited and unwelcome pictures of male genitalia from bosses or colleagues. One woman saw an e-mail thread about what it would be like to “penetrate her,” in which a colleague added that she’d be a good target to sleep with and not call again. Another said a colleague once informed her, apparently as a compliment, that she was on a list getting passed around by senior leaders detailing who they’d sleep with. Two former employees said they felt pressure to leave after making their concerns about gender discrimination known. One former male employee said that Riot’s “bro culture” is more pronounced behind closed doors, and hurts men too: One of Riot’s male senior leaders regularly grabbed his genitals, the source said, adding, “If he walked into a meeting with no women he’d just fart on someone’s face.

Sounds great. Do the right thing people. I managed just fine actually not buying or playing Detroit. It's not that hard and it makes a difference.

I wonder who is next?

It's easy when the companies you're talking about making shit games, which Riot and Quantic Dreams both do. It's not a sacrifice to not buy some shit I wasn't ever going to buy anyway.

I'm with you, though. The fact that this shit is still happening is a travesty, and the fact that Detroit has become Quantic Dreams best selling game really sucks. People just don't care.

Well, this is the first I have heard about it, so it seems possible to me that people would have cared, but didn't know. I probably would have picked up Detroit.

Quantic Dream lost the case against an employee who brought forth the allegations.

There you go Kermit. It's true.
