The Escapist - Why People Will Leave PC Gaming.
"Things are pretty bad. The poster child for this right now might be Zoe Quinn, who at the time of writing has yet to be able to return to her home due to the recent unpleasantness (and is drawing closer to becoming the video game world's fatwa-era Salman Rushdie by the day). But this has been going on for a while, and the industry has been bleeding talent for years. For example, Greg Zeschuk admitted to Polygon in 2013 that the departure of he and fellow Bioware founder Ray Muzyka was at least partly due to harassment.. More recently, John Smedley stepped down from his position as CEO of Daybreak Games, after a period of long harassment by Lizard Squad that saw his credit rates destroyed, bomb scares, and his home swatted multiple times."
