    Feels like a good time to talk about when Larian employed an outright fascist and refused to fire him.

    Over covid one of our engineers was radicalised. Next time we saw him he was watching Tim Pool videos in office and telling us about “cultural marxism” at work drinks, the whole nine yards

      After a while he had a little cohort of freaks that shared some of his sentiments.

      Everyone was uncomfortable with this guy. Folks went to Swen and said “Hey, this guy is a weirdo fascist. He’s making everyone uncomfortable. He’s at odds with the team’s values”

        Swen’s response? “He’s invaluable to the team, it’s too hard to replace him this close to release”

        Naturally the vibes got worse. Hanging out at lunch now sucks because these guys might bring their bigotry, like complaining that Aragorn is black in the new MTG crossover set.

          And there’s a lot of minorities on the team. Yet, bigots abound in the studio. Swen is happy to profit off the cachet of making a “woke” game while letting bigots endanger minorities in his studio

          My worst experience, as a trans woman, was shortly after coming out in work.

            cw sexual harassment

            One of the other office weirdos, and sexual harassment afficionado Felix Pedulla (current CDPR employee) walked past me in the office one day.

            He makes a weird remark about my tits, and then to “confirm” something grabs my crotch in the middle of the office. No fear, no shame.
