What funny is how Larian went out of their way to appeal to these types who are now canceling them. No matter how much you appeal to the BlueSky contingents or what progressive record your have, you're always one step away from being cancelled and brigaded.

I don’t think they appeal so much to them as the wokies brigades projecting hard on them. 

Is like the Smiling Friends fandom thinking that Mr Boss X Alan is supposed to be serious:

[EaldNarche]

What if Larian takes this attack personally and makes the character creator in the new Divinity male/female only?

[Daffy Duck]

Holy shit and that scumbag is now at CD Projekt Red? Throw the bum out.

lol, they’re gonna jump on this, because you know why

[HardcoreRetro]

I love this era.

Me as a game dev saying: "The female characters won't have huge throbbing cocks."

And this is then seen as a huge act of defiance.   Fifty articles written about it.

The line doesn't really matter. It doesn't actually matter if he knew. He's clearly a shitty person who has overseen a toxic workplace. The buck stops with him. He protected bigots from HR investigations enough that someone was afraid to make a report about being sexually assaulted for being trans right in the office. It's clear he can't lead.

The authority on evil bastards, Alavard!

If he didn't know, why would he not remain CEO.

With that said, fuck him either way.

The assault happened openly in the middle of the office. They only employ ~500 people. There's no way he wouldn't have known.

Wow, Alavard was right there and saw it all happen

[Daffy Duck]

What sexual assault? I’ve read the posts but can’t see any mention of it but they make out like it was in the office…

[HardcoreRetro]

I can't believe Larian genocided like five trans folx.

[EaldNarche]

It was in its' bluesky thread. It alleged that this guy grabbed its' crotch to "confirm" something at work. But it didn't report it at the time for whatever reason.

[Daffy Duck]

lol. Oh right, this story is gonna be an interesting one to watch.

I also fucking hate Doops so much, just starts shit all the time.

[HardcoreRetro]

I've got one thing to say to that former Larian employee.

Be a man.

Guess they're just not going to talk about this one huh

[DavidCroquet]

I'm delighted to see my "if you claim to like videogames, but are an anti-AI insanoid, you might as well just hang the whole hobby up now" coming to delicious fruition in such an immediate and high-profile way.

Maybe the hobby can be restored somewhat after all these annoying fucks self-select out of it.

real talk: these unpaid writing tests are a thing for a LOT of writing jobs in the industry, not just at Larian.

When I applied for a job at BioWare in the mid-2000s, they made me develop an entire NWN2 mod just to LOOK at my application. Blizzard asked me to write a full pitch for an entire questline, including dialogue samples and gameplay ideas.

That's not to say Larian is off the hook for this, but that this kind of shit is surprisingly normalized in the industry as far as job applications for writers are concerned. And it's likely a major contributor to WHY it's so hard for young writers to get an "in" in the industry without extremely strong nepo connections.

PlanetSmasher’s lore >>>>>* 

Mf is so miserable because he’s failed at every single one of his creative pursuits.

PlanetSmasher needs to write a autobiography on his incredibly eventful life full of things that totally happened.

[DavidCroquet]

I also like the implication that you should...not have to submit some form of detailed work samples for a writing job?

"Hey can I be a writer"
"Maybe, why should we hire you"
"Cuz I have great ideas"
"Oh do you have some you can show us?"
"No. But like...what if Godzilla fought the Megazord! I'm full of ideas like this!"

I remember going on a first date with someone and when we were deciding what to do, she wanted to go see Avatar for the third time.

Need more people to come out against the damn studios. Absolutely gross behavior.

And the guy just moved from Larian to CDPR..jeez. CDPR might be next to be condemned.

I don't use this word often but they're being absolutely retarded. Hell, the story of the accuser is completely retarted. "They didn't fire this guy who listens to Tim Pool so I didn't even bother to report a sexual assault"

Is this person confirmed to be former larian? Not doubting just don't see anything on the bluesky linking to a name or confirmation that they are credited, just the blurb in the header.

Believe it 100% though, I think it's horrible but most software companies are filled with fascists.

[FEUER FREI.]

Take this into account:

If you moved there to work for them?

You bring it up and then you suddenly get fired out of the blue?

They didn't just fire you for bringing up SA/H and that you . They are kicking you out of the country. Literally. You no longer have an active job. You have nothing. And will lose even more and have even more nothing.

Now, imagine being in such scenario.

Now do you understand fear? What fear is?

do you understand what fear is my fellow biredettes?

Contrary to this fan fiction, Belgium has workers protection and being fired for reporting an assault would be an easy appeal

[kaleidoscopium]

Just to be clear, we now have major professional athletes going on the Kick stream of a literal neo-Nazi and it's just cool with the giant organizations they work for.

I will admit I have run out of bandwidth with regards to internet celebrities with the minds of fifth graders saying insane shit next to the monkey bars. I know someone will say violence isn't the solution, but maybe we could try it out to be sure.

They have no convictions. They will cave at the first hurdle after Rockstar or From admit they are using it in every aspect of development.
