You mean Riot won't let him go easy. He'll be subject to a few workshops, and he'll be super cautious interacting with anyone before he gets Actiblizz'd.
I think him moving to Riot /after/ their Kotaku incident years ago means he's willing to drop the Cosby Suite bullshit (which was well documented on his own Twitter about how there "always has to be a Cosby suite"), and move on with his live making actual games instead of playing office politics.
Rioters have already had their #MeToo moment years ago, this exact thing in fact with a different Kotaku reporter, and they made the changes internally to prevent that from happening again.
The best thing Greg could do right now is apologize and ensure the world he won't ignore predatory people he works with that are getting preyed upon by sr. management again. And hope he's not named in the lawsuit due to Facebook group chat association, because that would be games industry career-ending for him.
Notice I said people, not men or women, this isn't a sexism or racism SJW issue. I truly believe the issues with the games industry are deeper seeded than social justice. The issues are with people in power abusing their leverage over others, and those abused (whether it be sexually, physically, stereotyped, financially, quid pro quo, or otherwise) having no recourse for the misdeeds of management.
This happens in open source, in professional workplaces, in hobbies, in highschool, etc - the details don't matter much after the accused is proven guilty with sufficient evidence provided to a public display.
Here's a good example of a female employee involving a company decision that could have been made against any gender or race and was abused due to her position compared to management:
Tiggs, SWG's former CM, told me a story years ago about how she was told to lie to the SWG community on behalf of SOE so they could kill the game, as the licensing drama was becoming toxic and unsustainable for LucasArts... She refused to lie on behalf of the players, and was escorted out by a police on the request of SOE, even though she wasn't hostile or upset in the process.
It doesn't matter her gender. It matters that a person in power abused their position to exert their control over someone, to make an already shitty situation worse. I'd love to see what Raph Koster thought of that or if he even knew. I love him to death as an amazingly talented, brilliant game designer, and I'd like to hope if he knew the circumstances, what he would have done differently.
