“I’m afraid that I’ll kill my future career, but it literally devoured me every day for the past year. I became so depressed that I began to think about suicide. I left the Insomniac Games because of how they treat women “
My history Brennan She began by stating that she had a list of about a few dozen names of Insomniac Games employees who had been sexually harassed. According to Brennan, until recently, at least three specialists who behaved incorrectly worked in the studio. The authorities allegedly covered them. To date, one of them has been fired, one has left of his own free will, and another continues to work in the company. The girl emphasizes that the three mentioned are only those whom she personally knew, but it is possible that in reality the situation could be even worse.
As a concrete example Brennan calls a certain Edgar Vargaswho worked in the personnel department. According to the revelations of the former employee, Vargas showed open interest in her, even though Brennan was in a relationship at that moment. At some point, the situation escalated to the limit: Vargas directly offered the girl sex and promised to become a good replacement for her young man. The only thing that saved Brennan, as she herself notes, was a series of refusals on her part in a rude manner, as well as a statement about her asexuality, which ultimately besieged Vargas.
Due to the fact that inside Insomniac it is customary to conduct an open dialogue at absolutely all levels, Brennan, together with several colleagues, decided to trust the authorities and inform him of the current crisis in the work team. However, the ex-employee notes, the reality turned out to be much worse – in the near future her friend or girlfriend was asked to quit, after which she, in solidarity, signed a letter of resignation of her own free will.
At the same time, Sol Brennan notes that there are an infinite number of talented and wonderful people working at Insomniac Games, with many of whom she was able to build a real friendship. But all this came to an end due to a series of incidents partially described in her reports.
It is noteworthy that soon her words were confirmed by another close colleague – a certain Javier, who briefly said that everything Brennan said was “it’s true“. Him “it hurts from having to talk about it“
To date, representatives Insomniac games didn’t react at all to the accusations. Now the studio is actively engaged in creating an adventure game Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, which will be part of the next generation console launch line Playstation 5.
