Game Developers Conference eli GDC on taas pidetty fyysisenä koronaviruksen jylläyksen jälkeen. Tämän vuoden messujen humussa on tietojen mukaan ollut kasapäin seksismiä, juopottelua ja naisten ahdistelua. GDC-messuihin on aiempinakin vuosina kohdistunut samanlaisia syytöksiä, ja meno näyttää jatkuvan.
Härpäkkää kommentoi muun muassa Guy Blomberg.
"We've been informed of multiple folks that were roofied last Thursday night in SF, most probably at the karaoke event we hosted. Thankfully they had friends who looked after them and they're ok all things considered. I'm so very sorry they had to go through such a horrifying experience, it's absolutely not their fault, and we're already in the process of tracking down the fucking scumbag who did this."
Pelinkehittäjä Leena van Deventer ei ollut hänkään tyytyväinen.
"Women at GDC this year have been belittled and undermined in their roles, been hit on relentlessly, and had their drinks spiked by predatory men."
