When I think of game devs, I think of nerdy programmers who are shy and has less than normal social skills. I would not think they are socially and morally capable of creating an open environment of a locker room full of jocks.

Many accusers are saying this type of behavior isn't exclusive to Blizzard. They're saying other big gaming companies' game devs pretty much act the same. This is a phenomenon it would seem.

Why is this so exclusive to game devs, you think?

I don't follow game development enough to have any knowledge or insight about developers. I just hear stuff like this a lot here.

I do not receive notifications, so using the @ feature will not do anything. I might see your post and respond though if I have already been in the topic.

But apparently these game devs have everything. A high paying prestigious job, married, big house, blah blah

That's a good question. I guess it goes to show anyone can have a jock mentality when they have enough money and whatnot.

Some of these nerds are the exact kinds of people that can grow up to be resentful incels. It might also apply to plenty of jobs that are mostly full of men rather than just game devs specifically.

A lot of guys form their perspective on women in highschool and then can never reevaluate. So they treat women like shit because they weren't treated the best by women who were kids and teenagers at the time.
