Guys, Kotaku has a really weird vendetta against Metroid Dread. 

With respect, their making an assumption of a group of people who likely had nothing to do with the harassment that went on at Blizzard.

The big issue people are having with this article is because you didn’t actually finish getting the facts before deciding to hit publish. Were women reached out to in order to join the startup who decided otherwise? We don’t know. How about people of color? Same answer. You waited one day for him to respond, likely…

It certainly reached its goal to get clicks and comments

Clearly you never started your own company. Imagine the pitch: Hey, we don’t have any funding yet, and can’t offer you and benefits, so the risks are super high because we only started few months ago. So, do you want to join our 9 person team and risk your career so far?

A bit of a reach. 

Did you seriously feel a need to write this article? Why? Whether a small development studio is all male or all female or what-have-you does not matter.

I mean cant it just be a game about shooting people in the face? Who cares.

Man, I wish I was born having already created a really famous internet platform and married to a tremendously wealthy tennis player (things apparently some people can do prior to their own birth). Then I’d never have had to deal with being working class the lion’s share of my life. Unlike this lucky guy.

Look...Ian...I mean this in the nicest way possible, and I say this as a fellow progressive who has tried to get people to vote for Bernie twice in a row, and this isn’t directed at you specifically but at the group you are currently representing with this article...but please, shut the fuck up.
