A few days ago there was an outpouring of allegations against many folks in the games industry regarding rape and sexual assault. One of those named was Alec Holowka, one of the main developers of Night in the Woods. I really really liked this game, and I read the accounts of his abuse which were pretty horrible so I was very sad.
Following the allegations the publisher cut ties with him.
I feel like I have to personally vet every studio / developer now when I buy a game and it fucking sucks. Why can't people just be decent.

Damn. What a sad story. I saw the accusations against Jeremy Soule, but I hadn’t seen this one.
But, hey, at least some dipshits are trying to bring a zombie version of Telltale back and are offering former devs highly lucrative freelance positions with the possibility of full time positions “someday.”
Seriously, fuck the video game industry.

This is hitting me pretty hard.
He hung out at my flat in London once. I think it was late 2013 if I remember correctly. He was relatively chill but I gathered that he had some issues that he was working through.
I'm so sad for all of his victims and I'm sad that this is the way it ended for him.
Take care of yourselves everyone.
