Alright let me tell you guys a fact from this disgusting industry.
It is riddled with backstabbing, spineless and worthless bugmen (and bugwomen) who will fuck you up if they have the slightest chance of elevating themselves morally among their peers.
Whenever you see someone posting these giant letters spelling "omg I suffered so much from this toxic workplace environment!" is full of shit (in the gaming industry at least), chances are they activelly took part in forming that "toxic environment" as it is a known fact you can only get a job in the industry if you have the right friends or fuck the right people. Just to be clear there are people who don't know that and have a shocking realization when they start working, however those just fuck off once they realize they're among snakes or are smart enough to act like robots and not socialize with these venomous fiends.
Always question the claims, which in this case seem to be just that the dude was socially awkward (imagine complaining about an awkward dude among nerds lmao). But, when pondering if the claims are legit always remember these people TOLERATED AND TOOK PART IN THAT BEHAVIOUR until it wasn't convenient to do so anymore, then they throw the person under the bus and write a letter about how bad they had to obfuscate the fact that, they did know but said nothing.
My advice is to not socialize with co-workers or trust them enough to be yourself around them, that's a honey pot to get ammo and use against you when they see fit. I'm not saying you should give up in your dreams of making videogames, just beware you're working in a den of snakes and threat them as such.
"But you yourself said that only people with the right friends get work!" Yes, and as we see here they are a timebomb to implode the company, once that happens and they eat their own they won't have "friends" anymore so they'll be forced to hire people based on their competences and not friendship. I hear Lab Zero has positions open now.
