Yeah, it's exactly what you said.

Ignore the downvotes; either people don't know the history of what the Devs went through, or ignore it on purpose.

What did they go through?

[–] parpol@programming.dev 6 points 3 months ago

The studio refused an offer by Sweet Baby Inc of a 7m$ consultation. Right after that happened, games journalists like IGN started making articles accusing the studio of sexism. The "evidence" was several anonymous sources (in other words, made up, until at least one of them comes forward) and a few (possibly purposefully) mistranslated quotes that sound sexist in the mistranslations but are at most a little vulgar in the original language.

Even after the mistranslations were debunked, the journalists made no effort to retract or edit their articles, and as of today the only thing they have that could possibly paint the studio in a bad light are these anonymous sources but those cannot be verified and are therefore not valid. They're likely completely made up.

Harassment by bs activists. All because they didn't pay the Dei mob

[–] HATEFISH@midwest.social 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Who are the activists and what does DEI have to do with this? I am very confused and you have answered with riddles.
