The comparison raised my eyebrow at first too, but then I wasn’t sure if they were referring to quality or quantity.
It seems plausible that greater numbers of people are taken advantage of in terms of overtime/crunch, etc. However claiming that working long hours and not being compensated is 100x worse than sexual harassment seems much less clear.

You don't actually have to handle it that way if communication is the goal. Best.

I'm not trying to claim that the statement is "clearly" true (or true at all), having not worked in game development personally. I just didn't think it was a fair characterization of the comment.
