My overall experience at @insomniacgames was so bad that not shortly after I resigned in 2010, I quit programming altogether.
14/ In my exit interview I was told in no uncertain terms of a "handshake agreement" between studios to "prevent poaching". If my resume turned up at @Naughty_Dog or nearby studios, Insomniac would get a call. Intimidated out of the industry whether I was ready to leave or not.
Uhh, in that thread:
This is illegal. Anti-poaching agreements like this are considered violations of anti-trust. There have been numerous lawsuits and DOJ enforcement actions against tech firms for doing exactly this. Apple, Google, eBay, Pixar, Adobe, Intel, a lot of companies got sued and had to pay significant damages for exactly this behavior.

The ND info prolly deserves a new thread what with the crunch shit and now this.
Apple and Google got caught doing this shit a few years back too"or nearby studios", oh-oh there is something to dig for Shreier here : bluff or not you cannot threat someone like this, especially during a contractual agreement.
Time for a new suit to emerge if this still goes onIn one email exchange after a Google recruiter solicited an Apple employee, Schmidt told Jobs that the recruiter would be fired, court documents show. Jobs then forwarded Schmidt's note to a top Apple human resources executive with a smiley face.
Doubt it. Wait for the new spider-man game to come out, this whole problem will be chucked out the window to make room for praising the game and company.I really, really, REALLY hope this story isn't forgotten and that Insomniac makes this right. Absolutely vile behavior.
You think gamers care how women are treated in gaming?I really, really, REALLY hope this story isn't forgotten and that Insomniac makes this right. Absolutely vile behavior.

All you need is to look at twitter and you will have your answer.
I'm constantly reminded by them how I don't belong playing games.
I been in gaming communities since 2014, and I lost any hope that gamers will have care how toxic the gaming community is towards women a long time ago.
This is completely unrelated to me and even then the thought of "this might fuck up my career if I make this thread" crossed my mind

A kind of odd post.Why is RS banned?
Anyway, I can definitely understand and sympathize with your situation, same thoughts would have crossed my mind... which is why it's super important to keep pushing.
The original tweets from Sol are a year old, while Cory only commented today but yeah you're probably right.I feel like this should be more about the victim and Insomniac Games protecting abusers and less about Cory's comment; the title makes me feel this wouldn't be a thread if he didn't respond which is gross.

Fucking awful she had to go through that.
We should continue to keep holding Insomniac's feet to the fire on this but I fear once the brand new Spidey trailer drops people would miraculously forget. Much like the Ubi stuff, smh.
Bump, bump bump. Gotta keep it at the top so people are aware. This shit cannot happen. We all need to get together to help everyone be aware of this.
🍜
people already miracolously forgot. This thread is a year old.
