Fullbright is an indie studio that is best known for their acclaimed game titles, “Tacoma” and “Gone Home”<\/a>, which each won the Best Debut at the GDC and BAFTA Awards. The studio is also expected to release their upcoming mystery-thriller video game, “Open Roads” later this year.<\/p>\n

It seems that Activision Blizzard<\/a> is not alone amidst workplace controversies. Fullbright has recently come under fire following allegations surfaced that Fullbright Co-founder and Creative Lead of Open Roads, Steve Gaynor, demonstrated toxic behaviour in the workplace, particularly toward female employees.<\/p>\n

allegations of “toxic culture” surface<\/h2>\n

According to a report by Polygon<\/a>, Steve Gaynor would micromanage female employees by being overtly “controlling” and that they felt “undermined and demeaned” by him. This ultimately resulted in several employees leaving the company.<\/p>\n
