Even though women make up around fifty percent of the gaming community and gaming workforce, it’s often still considered a boys club. Because of that, sexual assault is more common than most people think. For example, recently, there were three different investigations into the company Quantic Dream, in which they found the company to have a “toxic corporate culture.”

Investigators found that employees were putting their co-worker’s faces on sexy images, and the co-head of the company forcibly kissed a female employee. Other companies such as Naughty Dog have also been investigated. The biggest issue is that women that work in the industry are afraid to come forward for fear of losing their jobs and hurting their careers.
