By that, we’re not saying that all they care about are profit margins and new releases. What we do mean is that the respective parties should always be held accountable for what happens internally, regardless of which rung of the corporate ladder they’re hanging from. Needless to say, this goes double for serious issues like assault, sexual harassment, and general workplace toxicity.
Unfortunately, if you’ve kept up with many of last year’s instances, there are already many prominent game companies that have found themselves on this list. Riot Games employees have staged walkouts, Ubisoft received a straight-up call-out on the Internet via online publications and even Activision Blizzard had figures coming out of the woodwork in some shape or form. Many of these companies have since promised changes, and although that’s certainly a step in the right direction, the next question that comes to mind is whether these changes are actually being put into place and enforced accordingly. Granted, as awful as it is to admit, workplace culture isn’t something that changes overnight - it has to be a progressive change, but the bad news here is that some of these companies haven’t really been doing their due diligence.
