In Watch Dogs 2 the initial hackerspace is in the basement of a game store in the lower Haight in San Francisco, which smacks smartly of Gamescape on Divisadero Street between Oak and Fell. It's still there according to Google, even though everything around it was gentrified out of existence, including the cheap flat I lived in.
I'm pretty sure my years as a Gamescape regular inspired the character Josh Sauchak. I lived with the woman who probably inspired Sitara Dhawan, and we are pretty sure of the identity of the guy who inspired Wrench.
What ! seriously ? but who wrote these characters, did they meet you all ?
I don't know who wrote the characters. Some developers in Ubisoft in the early 2010s, I presume. Looking at the extensive credits, I never found a name that I recognized.
It could all be coincidence, but there's a significant amount of similarity.
