maybe just trust that the internal report had enough detail—which we’re not privy to—to be damning. all you’re doing is second guessing a description in a kotaku article.

Yeah, seriously. As somebody who went to a lot of anime conventions in the 2000's, it feels really weird to see what was just common cultural knowledge being treated like it’s some kind of esoteric secret.
I honestly thought the origins being a Swedish band was pretty common knowledge, like the name of the song has the word “Dansen” in it, it’s clearly not originally from Japan.
She does go on to explain that if she sells the property in the future for the same price, she’ll owe taxes on that $3 million again. But until that day, she’s basically getting an interest-free loan from the government.
I love everything about this story, and this is what we need more of. On the internet, on this website, and in the gaming community.
Love everything about this. Especially the Kotaku-exclusive reveal at the end.
Activision Blizzard King, I believe.
It absolutely is something people do and should do
Idk, I wouldn’t expect assholes to go out of their way to get outside worldviews for a job that’s specifically about building worlds and stories.
Seem to be a lot of narrow views of sexism in these comments.
Pretty much most of Kotaku amazing commenters that actually put care into what they were commenting on are gone... Kotaku commenters have become this sort of neckbeard standard that is upset with the website but literally can’t keep themselves from reading it or engaging with it.
Lot of definitely not sexist dudes in these comments talking about how none of their friends are women. Interesting!
It’s almost as if you’re saying great efforts have to be made to recruit women because it won’t just happen by itself, which is kind of the point underlying this article?
It really isn’t acceptable in 2021. People need to make an effort to hire women. It really is that simple.
Hof of PS5 owners are women, Buddy. I don’t know how to explain this two you, but over the last 25 years, the young men of today pushed the young women of today out of gaming. The Xbox 360 era in particular was soaked in massive harassment, basted in toxic performances of jerkassery in the name of performative…
I had a really nice long post written explaining how women were deliberate driven out of games development and programming by men and then girls were kept out of gaming by the sons of men, but then the stupid android keyboard ate the post.
Remember when the Kotaku comments weren’t full of sexist nonsense? Sigh...
30% so if this were an impartial selection of random people there’d be 3 women on this team. Looks like you found the problem.
This “startup” is all made of people from the same company. It’s more of a spin-off….of a company that’s under multiple investigations for a massive amount of sexual harassment. It’s not some sort of rag-tag bunch of strangers who don’t know each other getting together to build something new.
Everything about this sounds suspect, at best.
So Kaleiki was at Blizzard until November 2020, on the WoW team. Which was absolutely being investigated by California at that point. And the article above misses the first sentence in his response about the harrassment at Blizzard:
