What the hell is happening at Naughty Dog
According to their hardcore fan base?
What the hell is happening at Naughty Dog
You're saying Person X should accuse Person Y of something on twitter, and this makes Person Y deserve something without a hint of evidence or due process? These are interesting times we live in.

Insane crunchs even for gaming standards. With such a workplace it's not strange that some sickos end up there.
There are also the allegations of HR firing victims for complaining and offering hush money. That goes beyond a few bad apples and suggests institutional corruption.An individual is not the whole team. You can't expect everyone in a company to be righteous exemplary people.
However, the development team should take responsibility for it, and do the right thing.
How long can Sony really get away with not closing down this studio? The name is so tainted now.
The same thing happening a lot of places. ND are full of talented people, but they are still big stable of folks and the harassers, racists, sexists are among all of us. They are not off hiding in a barn somewhere.What the hell is happening at Naughty Dog
There's one allegation, and we still don't know the full story.There are also the allegations of HR firing victims for complaining and offering hush money. That goes beyond a few bad apples and suggests institutional corruption.
I mean if that happened, it's obviously horrible, but these two incidents aren't necessarily related. There's a fucking shit ton of sexist men in tech industries, I would be shocked if stuff like what's said in that tweet doesn't happen every day. It's awful.There are also the allegations of HR firing victims for complaining and offering hush money. That goes beyond a few bad apples and suggests institutional corruption.
Think this through again, and understand that you are implying the actions of few should dictate that 600+ employees with families, children and loved ones lose their job.
Those that hid, facilitate and are responsible for this should suffer the consequences, no doubt. What youre suggesting helps nothing.
Given the size of ND it's not too much of a stretch to say it's probably two people.I wonder if it's the same person or separate people?

That reads like a really distasteful joke
A lot of men are pigs and desperate sexual predatators (particularly middle aged men).
Unfortunately the older you get, the more you realise this sort of shit is widespread and happens everywhere. You become particularly aware of it when you have a significant other who works in an office environment.

They were demoted. Probably unrelated.Wait how did a junior member make a new thread? did I miss something here?
But yea this is gross.
Yep, it's terrible. Some people don't realize that hundreds of good people would lose their job even though they did nothing wrong.
The company I am working for had to close several of its studios within the last year and it was heartbreaking to see all those people leaving, so yeah, I absolutely hate comments like "close it all down".
They should fire them.A few bad apples really ruining the reputation of ND this month. (Hopefully its only a few)
ND should contact Megan and ask her who exactly said this to her, and give them some disciplinary action.

Yo. Good looking out. I just checked Threads made by op and assumed he was demoted my bad.Actually it looks like most of the first page was migrated over from another thread. I guess a mod mustve made a new thread and moved everything over. Huh. Never seen that before. Well mystery solved.
What about the person who was sexually harassed ?
Mate, come on.This may signal the end of AAA singleplayer content as we know it. /s
Absolutely disgusting.

Do you know the full phrase from which the term "bad apples" originates?
Do you feel this is fair towards the stuff? We have two incidents called out right now in terms of indecent behaviour, granted, likely by two different individuals (one was male-to-male, one was male-to-female, so since bisexuality is rare, I deem it likely these are two separate people). Considering ND's team size it is not really shocking that there are two people like this among the team. Of course, extreme overworking as part of Naughty Dog's structure (as evident by Hennig's statement) may foster such behaviour even in people who wouldn't behave like this normally (lowering self-control through extreme stress), but so far we have no indication that Naughty Dog is particularly bad in terms of sexual harassment. Of course, this does not excuse those two people's behaviour.
Crunching isnt exclusive to the gaming industry: nursing, teaching, emts, police, fire are all susceptible to crunch like work weeks its not an excuse to be an awful person.
The problem is that when stuff like this happens it isnt reported when it happened and that person escapes accusations and moves on. Its excellent that people are now feeling empowered to call out these harrassers
