"This weeks the GodCast is a threesome, as Calvin, Adam and Terry are left to hold the fort during the insanity that is Gamescom 2011. News, news and more news is the order of the day, with a healthy side-order of Minecraft and Terraria, thanks to Calvin.
Gamescom threw up some incredible topics, not least the FIFA 12 and PES 2012 demo announcements, as well as the release date for Mass Effect 3, the PlayStation 3 price drop, the PSP re-re-release and much more. Terry is also on a mission to drive Adam and Calvin insane with the Download Item of the Week theme tune, and has at this point succeeded. As if that weren’t enough, there’s this months Hall of Fame entry to talk about, Super Mario Kart."
EA senior staff has been investigated for sexual misconduct involving female coworkers, and these said people have been named publicly.
Aye just call Phil, i mean he somehow made Bobby Kotick's scandal disappear and gave him a few million dollar high five on the way out.
EA about to go down like Activision and then Phil saves the day saying.this is good for the industry and consolidation will help create competition. /s.
What's up with all these horny creeps. You gon be horny, fine. Just not at work take care of that shit before you go in. Rub one out if you have to. Don't be a creep at all. ESPECIALLY at work. But don't be one AT ALL.
You think deviants care where they are? Work sometimes makes it an even better situation for them because they can abuse their power.
"it seems that according to EA, given the events transpired outside of work between two adults, and the fact that once investigation has started that the alleged perpetrators didn’t do it again, the investigation is considered closed. [...] The victim still has to work with the people that harassed her."
Yep, EA is disgusting.
I mean the fact stuff happened outside of work puts EA in quite a difficult position legally. These women don't seem to have reported the matter to the police which kinda ties EA's hands on what they can do. If they don't file reports of the crimes then yeah from EA's perspective it is stuff that happened outside of work. The only exception is the guy that apparently referenced things in the slack channel for work, spending on what he said proving it may be very hard and he may well be able to get away with plausible deniability. I don't like EA and I think these people need to be dismissed but without any legal action being taken, EA can't really do much without risk of being sued themselves for unfair dismissal etc.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
EA has announced it will engage in a shareholder-pleasing share buyback program just a couple of months after mass layoffs at the studio.
