> The suit also points to a female Activision employee who took her own life while on a company trip with her male supervisor. The employee had been subjected to intense sexual harassment prior to her death, including having nude photos passed around at a company holiday party, the complaint says. Yikes. After the stories that came out about Riot Games, it seems like this sort of behavior isn't super uncommon amongst Gaming Companies.

This is one of those headlines where I expected the cases to be a bunch of micro-aggressions that I would not really empathize with. But no, this is absolutely disgusting.

What stories about Riot Games? I agree these allegations are unusually bad. Worse than I was expecting. If this doesn't get settled - or even if it does - the evidence that would be required would be pretty damming. I'd bet it exists given that this was brought at all.

And their response is: > We are sickened by the reprehensible conduct of the DFEH to drag into the complaint the tragic suicide of an employee whose passing has no bearing whatsoever on this case and with no regard for her grieving family.
