It’s the first game the company has released since allegations of a “frat boy” work culture at Activision Blizzard were made by the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing, although it’s important to note that the lead developer here is Vicarious Visions, which has not been involved nor implicated in the legal complaint.
“It was definitely very troubling to hear these types of things,” design director Rob Gallerani told Axios (thanks, VGC). “And we really wanted to support our colleagues and our co-workers.”
Gallerani added that the studio’s management had invited employees to feed back on how it can better support its staff, adding that while it had “heard a lot of really positive things”, it was important that management “always need to keep asking”.
