This sums the whole thing up.
They literally banned a gaffer for saying that those 2 were the toxic ones...Actually a lot of them are seeing now Maggs was kind of all about herself, and some of them are developers on era or know the medium well that its not about one person's view but a collaborative effort. She wanted her politics and view points to shine in the character. Rest of the studio disagreed. End of story.
But she makes it out like she is the victim, and now that other people at the studio have spoken up it's now apparent she was shouting loud to get her way. Nothing was lost. Glad the studio stood their ground. And them standing their ground does not make it a toxic place to work like Era thinks it is.
NOTICE no one at Insomniac is talking about ERA nor anyone who was on ERA from the studio is saying shit.

Damn......now I really am concerned about the KOTOR remake
I was on this project for like 9 months in 2021 and then I quit. You’re gonna be okay. If you e-mail or message me about it, I won’t see it. My filters are really good.
No need, she's no longer on the project and even from the blurb on her website, it looks like she left there under similar circumstances.
Yes, and for Sony, that is what happen when they turn a Japanese company into a Western company. Political correctness in the West will undoubtedly have an impact on their internal culture.Nintendo doesn't feel the need to expose little children to sexuality like that.

You're wrong. TEAM!!! As Sam Maggs is part of the team, she gets the glory.I like Rivet, & no disrespect to any of the the designers, but it probably has more to do with this lady's voice acting than anything else.
Jennifer Hale is the one who truly brings Rivet to life, as she does with pretty much all the characters she voices.
the whole game?Show the part of the game where she's lesbian then.
Nice quick read. She's been in a million parts!I like Rivet, & no disrespect to any of the the designers, but it probably has more to do with this lady's voice acting than anything else.

If you think the topic about this one on reee is pathetic, take a look at the cultural appropriation one for horizon fw...
The guy who opened the topic having his wife bought by his parents and talking about cultural respect is the icing on the shit-cake...

I know exactly the guy you are talking about, can't remember his name tho.wtf. this beats that one guy who finances a whore that according to him really is into him and not into his wallet.
If you say something you are an homophobic or some shit, so majority of normal people prefer to ignore the crazy crowd to not fight with them.Gay people make up about 3-5% of our society. Why is it that the entertainment sector seems to believe its closer to 70%? At some point the vast majority has to get tired of this shit, don't we? Why are we so damn apathetic about this?
Good grief, so they'll turn on other women for not thinking the same way, how dare this woman agree with the cis man!And then it descended into madness....
That is how these CULTure movements work.Good grief, so they'll turn on other women for not thinking the same way, how dare this woman agree with the cis man!
It's almost as if all this sexual deviancy in current year we hear about in the gaming companies, are possibly those who want to talk about and project their sexual refences in everything they do.Jesus fucking Christwhy do these people all have to declare and know how and who they are boning in private life to work as a team?
Probably because a lot of people dont really care enough to complain. Or they just let it go as idiots making fools of themselves looking for PR pts.Gay people make up about 3-5% of our society.

Right....the same Sam Maggs who took credit for "signing off" on the name Rivet, but an intern at Insomniac put her in her place and revealed who actually came up with the name.
And then it descended into madness....
It's also asinine with the lore of the series."Hey, you see this character? He is gay! Just "Because"" lol
I really don't care but this industry man
It goes to show how weird and petty politically heavy video game employees are. All this back and forth over a video game character name. Yelling, taking credit or not, quitting, etc.... Shallow.Good lord. If that's what it's like to work with pronoun patrol, I'm just going to work in the corner with the headphones on.
Sol Brennan (they/them)
Respectfully Laura, I don’t know who ‘they’ are. Is it cis white men?
Because every other woman I talked to around the issue at the studio supported our efforts on Rivet.
We were loud about it because our efforts to be quiet had been dismissed so many times.
has done it is thing
They clearly use templates.LOL!!!!!!!
This text checks a lot of boxes.
Besides woke points for the designers, does this add anything meaningful?
Best way to get away from weird people.Can’t even imagine how happy the other Insomniac writers were to work at home once COVID happened just to avoid her/him/whatever.
This is a very good take imoThis is what you get when you got people heavy into politics using social media. Her Twitter is crazy weird.
A lot of these pushy people have freedom on social media to do what they want. It takes a high level of heinous activity to get banned from a platform. And even if you do, it's probably temporary.
So what happens is they notice they have an online profile to do and say what they want and they might get lots of followers supporting them. It then becomes a big part of their life, so when working at a company their home life/social media life extends to the workplace.
And since Twitter, Instagram, Tik Tok are ok with their posts, they purposely or subconsciously think an office environment with mellow norms and requiring to work with people face to face should be just as accommodating to their political personality.
Traditionally, people keep work and home life separate. But some people cant tell the difference where it becomes one blended lifestyle.

When she cries in meetings about a video game character being cut
It's a new generation of people who don't have much experience in gaming.I have a very hard time believing that if she was treated this way and is telling the truth that Rivet would've made it into the game.
Why the hell would someone who supposedly treats women that way suddenly turn around and go along with it just because she nagged on about it?
Also was it only him who was against it supposedly?
Why does she think she's the only person who gets to decide these things?
Just because you're a writer for a game doesn't mean you can just do whatever you want and get it your way every time.
I am pretty sure that writers for games don't get to just single-handidly decide on the characters and have full control over that...
