The Harvey Fire spreads to Games Industry - very Naughty Dog
Former Naughty Dog employee says he was sexually harassed by a lead

In late 2015, I was sexually harassed at Naughty Dog by a lead. My work environment became extremely toxic afterward. 1/

In February 2016 I had a mental breakdown at work & Sony Playstation HR became involved. When I told them about the harassment they... 2/

...ended the call and fired me the next day. They cited the company was moving in a different direction and my job was no longer needed. 3/

They tried to silence me by offering $20,000 if I signed a letter agreeing to the termination as well as to not discuss it with anyone. 4/

I declined to sign. I have been unemployed for 17 months since. When interviewers ask why I left Naughty Dog, I say I was burned out... 5/

...by the crunch, ashamed to get to the root of the problem of being sexually harassed. 6/

I'm speaking out now because of the strength I've seen in others coming forward about their experiences in the TV/Film industry. 7/

This is the hardest thing I've ever done. I will not let anyone kill my drive or love for the video game industry, my passions or life. /END

Fucking hell.

FUCKING HELL.

Edit: Upon further reflection, I'm also feeling weird about Naughty Dog's progressive messages in its games (LGBT, PoC characters, etc.) in retrospect. Is this something that a single executive committed and covered up, or is there a wider infestation and shush order throughout Naughty Dog? Fucking crazy.

What the fuck was Sony thinking?

Every industry about to get exposed

Sony firing and attempting to silence him makes me sick.

If there's one good thing that's come of all of Harvey Weinstein's bullshit it's that his exposure has caused the dam to break, bigtime. This isn't just a Hollywood problem - this runs deep in so many businesses and other institutions. Beyond brave of David to speak up and I hope that others are able to come forth and take action, and find the support they need as well.

------------------------
Sexual harassment: It's everywhere.

I just want to remind the kind people to PLEASE don't ever pursue or push for any unwanted touching/attention.
All women (and men) ask is for respect -- that's it... That's really it. But even that seems to be a lot to ask for.
------------------------
First it was the football industry, then the Hollywood, and now big gaming companies. Absolutely sickening.

I hope more victims who were intimidated into silence with big industries find the courage to expose these scumbags.

EDarkness

Not sure what's up with folks and not keeping their hands to themselves, but something seriously needs to be done about it and companies need to start taking this stuff seriously. I mean, paying the guy $20k instead of just getting rid of the guy who was doing the harassing? What the hell is that? I just don't understand this kinda stuff.

The guy harassing was a lead, so hw was worth more. Sadly it seems to have been this cynical...

Absolutely revolting, this brings shame to ND and SONY. I hope they come out and clear the situation by working with the guy to repair things as much as possible. It just boggles my mind that people are capable of these things.
